The Turks originally came from Central Asia, probably close to Mongolia. They speak a Turkic language, which belongs to the Altaic branch of languages, just like Japanese, Mongolian, Korean etc. It is noteworthy to add that people who inhabited Anatolia long before like Kurds (3,000 + BC Karda/South of present day Van in Turkey), Armenians (3,000 + BC, Armenia is a well known region from ancient to modern times), Pontian Greeks (2,000 + BC Western Anatolia).
2. Can be used as a slang term for the bird usually prepared for Thanksgiving in USA especially, called turkey.
