- History:
- ========
-
- After a few initial lists of travel agents and mailing lists, Ahmet
- Parlakbilek wrote the initial version of the Frequently asked questions
- list for soc.culture.turkish in July 1992, before turning it over to me
- for maintenance. He is going to be busy for a while, and I intend to
- take care of it. Please send suggestions and updates to
- sctfaq@express.net (Mustafa Soysal). Please keep in mind that I
- only maintain this collection, and have no means of verifying the
- information contained herein continuously. Also, I don't read
- soc.culture.turkish regularly, so don't count on me to automatically
- update any changes that might apply in your opinion. If you notice
- that something does not apply, is missing, or has changed, please let me
- know so that I can update it. A detailed list of most recent changes
- are listed at the end of this document.

- SKYTREK ............. 1-613-829-3300 (Ottowa - Leyla Baran)
-
- -> Can I take one or more camera/camcorder/laptop to Turkiye?
-
- Yes, but according to law, those should be recorded to your passport
- at the time of your entrance and they should be checked upon leaving.
- Usually, the customs officer do not create problems for a single
- camera/camcorder etc. However, it is a good practice to register
- them, especially when you have more than one. (..be advised that like
- most customs officers, they do not care whether you miss your plane or
- not..)
-
- -> Does my <insert any electrical device here> work in Turkiye?
-
- 220 volts, 50 Hz. is used in TR instead of the 120 volts, 60 Hz.
- used in North America. If your device does not mind frequency, it is
- easy to make it work in TR by the help of an inexpensive transformer.
-
- In particular, you may use the small transformers sold at Radio Shack
- for low-energy consumption (less than 50 watts) devices. If you would
- like to take a stereo (amplifier, tape deck, tuner etc.), you should buy
- a powerful 220v.-120v. transformer (preferably from TR, not to
- carry this heavy thing with you). The amplifier, CD player, tape deck
- mostly do not create problems. Tuners, on the other hand, has the
- problem of different frequency spacings of radio stations in the US: AM
- spacing is 9 kHz instead of 10 kHz and FM spacing is 100 kHz instead of
- 200 kHz in TR. This means you may not tune AM stations accurately
- in TR. Finally, some turntables, which controls the pitch with the
- power supply frequency may create problems: you can adjust the speed
- manually in many of them, but if this fails, the RPM drops to 5/6 of the
- origin.
-
- -> How can I have a long distance call from Turkiye? (Information about AT&T
- and MCI provided by Ibrahim Semiz)
-
- There are public phones available for this purpose. You need to purchase
- some tokens from PTT (Turkish Post/Telegraph/Telephone Company). One
- token is on the order of $1 and you probably need a few for a single call.
- The long distance code for TR is 90.
-
- But the most practical way make international calls from TR (or almost
- any country for that matter) is to use your calling card. For example,
- AT&T has services called `USA Direct' and `World Connect', where you
- dial 99 80 01 22 77 (99 80 01 44 77 for US Sprint) from any phone in TR,
- and get connected to AT&T. If you are calling a number in the US, you
- can place your call yourself, assisted by English voice prompts. If you
- want to call one of the 46 (at last count) countries on AT&T's list, you
- wait for an operator who assists you (Presumably, such calls would be
- more expensive). If you are calling from a residence, your host does not
- get charged anything, or you can make the call from any pay phone with a
- local (`small') token. Of course, you get the bill from AT&T. This is
- cheaper than calling from a residence (in TR). I don't know how it
- compares to calling from public phones with tokens, but it probably is
- cheaper, and you don't have to struggle to feed tokens to the thing at
- the rate ! of one every thirty seconds.
-
- MCI has a similiar service, on which somebody else may supply details.
-
-
- -> How can I call TR collect from the US? (800 numbers)

- -> New area codes for dialing to Turkiye.
-
- [Maintainer's Note: I would like to express my sincere and special thanks
- to Mr Orhan GOkCol (UCGOKCOL.TRITU.Bitnet) for
- going thru the effort of sending me the list of the
- new codes and changes from TR with fax and
- postal mail. He made it possible to have detailed
- information about the area code changes, affected
- cities, and the changes relating to each city. Thank
- you!
- ]
-
- The area codes for the cities in TR have changed. Calls to another area
- code in TR start with a '0', and international calls start with '00'.
- All phone numbers are 7 digits now. The following is a known list of
- new area codes and a summary of changes for each city. In changing the
- phone numbers to 7 digits, a number of digits have been inserted in
- front of the original phone number explained in the comments part of the

- -> What beverages are available? (from Ian Davis, summary of responses
- he received to his survey)
-
- Beer:
- - Efes Pilsen, most people say that this is the best.
- - Tuborg (originally Danish)
- - Tekel, pure Turkish but may not be found in Tourist resorts.
-
- Soft Drinks:
- Ayran, sIra, kIzIlcIk, seftali - totally different than anything
- available in UK.
-
- Wine:
- much better than beer, including KavaklIdere, Villa Doluca.
- Both red and white are good.
-
-
- -> Ionian Coast Info (from Ian Davis, summary of responses
- he received to his survey)
-
- Shopping:
- Bodrum is one of the most expensive towns to shop in (40% more expensive
- than Istanbul).Buying anything must bargin until the shop keeper gives up.
- If you are looking for more expensive souvenirs, its worth while traveling
- to other less well know towns in the area.
-
- Places to see:
- The castle in Bodrum ( rebuilt by the knights of St John) is worth a visit.
-
- Troy- the famous city is within traveling distance of Bodrum, mostly ruined
- but still worth a visit.
-
- Bergama-site of one of the seven original churches mentioned in the bible.
- Has nice amphitheater,some pillars still standing, nice arches and a few
- mosiacs
- Efes-site of another one of the seven churches,Paul lived here. Is very
- well
- preserved, very good amphitheater, a library, roads of marble and is said
- to be a very exceptional site, comes highly recommended.
-
- These places are only the tip of the iceberg.

- [Language]
- TURKISH LANGUAGE ...........................................................
-
- -> What is the origin of Turkish?
-
- Turkish is an Ural-Altaic language, which is spoken in different forms from
- Balkans in the west to China and Siberia in the east. Approximately 150
- million people speak Turkish in the world.
-
- There are four main dialects of Turkish (according to Colloquial
- Turkish - Y. Mardin):
- a) Oriental dialects of Altay
- b) Western dialects of Kirgiz and Tatar
- c) Dialects of Central Asia
- d) Southern dialects: Turkmen, Azerbeycan, Anadolu, Kirim and Osmanli
- Turkcesi.
-
- -> Is Turkish a hard-to-learn language?
-
- Yusuf Mardin answers this question as follows:
- "Turkish is an easy, logical language. There is no gender, no he, she or it,
- but one word for all three."
- "In Turkish, there are no diphtongs. When two vowels come together, each
- retains its individual sound. Every letter in every word is sounded
- individually and every word is pronounced as it is written."
-
- [maintainer's note: we need to refine this section, please e-mail any
- suggestions.
- ]
-
- -> Which alphabet do people use in Turkiye?
-
- Latin alphabet with some modifications. There are 6 extra letters:
- _
- c i(without dot) g "o s "u
- ' '
- q, w, x does not exist in Turkish alphabet.
-
- [maintainer's note: Recently, a new Turkic alphabet was agreed upon, and
- there
- are new letters which contradict the statement above.
- An update will follow.
- ]
-
- -> How can I use Turkish alphabet in Wordperfect/Mac/TeX?
-
- Wordperfect has a Turkish keyboard file which can be used to generate
- Turkish letters by the help of Cntrl-Alt keys. For Mac, there is a
- Turkish Mac System and Turkish fonts. All of those can be found at
- ftp.cs.umn.edu under the directory /pub/users/cosar for anonymous ftp
- (Username ftp). There is also a Tex style file, easyturkish.sty which
- generates Turkish letters for Tex document preparing system. You may
- contact akgul@trbilun.bitnet for Turkish Tex and easyturkish.sty.
- Turkish fonts also do exist in several sites for ftp; you may try,
- host:kth.se directory:/kth/tex/stuttgart/fonts/metafont or host:
- utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp directory:/TeX/fonts for anonymous ftp.
-
- -> Additional font info for DOS/Windows. (by Mustafa
- Soysal)
-
- Other than the above mentioned Turkish fonts provided for ftp by Ahmet
- CoSar at the University of Minnesota. Bora Baysal at the Catholic
- University of America provided general information on a commercialy
- distributed font package he can provide you with. The information about
- the packages is included below. For detailed information about the
- current package contents, please contact the provided contact e-mail
- addresses.
-
- Font info by Bora Baysal
- ------------------------
- TurkFontPack is a Turkish font pack which currently includes 10 Turkish
- fonts (including all Turkish characters and English characters),
- Mac version of the package for system 6 or 7, and a freeware Windows
- program in order to type Turkish characters on standard non-Turkish
- keyboards, using two-key sequences. The fonts are in various font
- formats which are PostScript Type 1, TrueType, bitmap, Unix, and
- Encapsulated PostScript. For additional info, please contact Bora
- Baysal via e-mail at bora@universe.digex.net
-
- -> Are there any books to learn Turkish?

- Yes, we even have an online tutor. The online tutor/teacher (for pc) is
- available at wuarchive.wustl.edu or other simtel20 mirrors under the
- directory /mirrors/msdos/langtutor/turkish1.lzh. We did not try it, so
- we do not have any idea about its completeness, usefulness etc. The

-
- And about dictionaries:
- (by Jack Campin)
- By FAR the best portable dictionary is one you can only get in TR - the
- Berlitz/ABC Kitabevi "Ingilizce-Turkce/Turkce-Ingilizce Sozluk", 1988
- (ISBN
- 975 09 0150 9). It suffers from the usual problem in Berlitz materials of
- not giving you any even remotely naughty words - god help you if you have
- to explain a gynaecological problem with it - but it's wonderful on food
- terms. About A6-sized, bright red. If it's out of print, the Redhouse
- Elsozlugu is a reasonable substitute.[It is not out of print, I checked
- it--ahmet]
-
- For a big dictionary, the Oxford two-volume one (also published cheaper
- by ABC in TR, in an edition that may only be sold there) is hard to
- beat, though the Redhouse Cagdas Turkce-Ingilizce Sozluk is just as good
- (one way only). You may have problems getting that in the US. The Oxford
- is also available in a one-volume abridgment.
