Welcome to the forum Erol! The songs sound very pretty in Turkish, especially 'Love will find a way'.

I love this videos! I appreciate it, Sander, that you made this post. Without it I wouldn't have known what so many languages sounded like when spoken, and I wouldn't have developed such a love for spoken Icelandic

Hello , Shouga

Nice to greet you , as well. Here are some other examples of this language ;

Video for "Perdeler" by famous Turkish rock singer Sebnem Ferah. This is the title song from her 2001 album " Perdeler" ("Curtains" or "blinds" in english).

Another clip of a song of her from the same album called "Sigara" ;

Or from Hande Yener a contemporary turkish singer & her song "Biraz Özgürlük" = "Little Freedom" ,

Welcome Erol!

I like the sound of the Turkish language! So, I guess you are from Turkey or are you just an adorer of this language?

Greetings , Icke. My heritage is off of many versions of Balkan substratum , like Slavic , Illyrian , Hellenic , etc.

This language & speakers are interesting , when they speak the language in foreign language environment , depending on the accent of the regional origin , the status etc. of them , they encounter with various opinions , like "Is it a romance language?" , "Is it a verison of slavic or hungarian?"
Turkish sounds very versatile depending on the speaker. Sometimes people can say, " The languages that these two people speak are turkish? They don't sound like , they're speaking in the same language , at all! "

I lived in lovely Türkiye for long time , as well . I know urban Turkish culture , which is the most dominant in Türkiye , that's not known much in Deutchland , isn't it?

Hello, Errol! Say, were you inspired by Harry Potter when you chose this name? Wasn't Errol the name of an owl in the book series?

I find most pleasant different languages;

I appreciate the languages through the musics, i like the mixed song languages

some songs :

occitan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxjxnItFFlo


Arabic is strange, it has a attractive side, and Arabic music is fantastic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTPtpb0bYXE


The mixture of the French and Arabic cultures is quite interesting:

Corsican-French

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC46OLLFndo

Spanish music, with Manu Chao (famous music)

Basque modern music

I like owl , as well .I know this name sounds celtic , isn't it? But "Errol" & "Erol" are not from the same origins. Even though the first known celtic kingdom " Galatea" was in this very ancient western land called Turkey today.
It is from a language that is very versatile in many ways.

It is from a Northern- Eurasia- originated language called turkish.

Like "Sevil" , "Erin" , "Deniz" or more names similar in nature are found in turkish , but strongly sounds like other names in english or in many other languages. That's a coincidence .

But ofcourse there are other names in turkish that are of non-turkish origin . That's another story.

And a story which I'd be delighted to hear if you get round to telling it. A warm welcome to our community, Mr Erol.

I agree that German sounds good in songs. I was introduced to Wir Sind Helden. I have no idea what the cute chick was singing, but I absolutely loved some of their songs, especially Nur ein Wort.

By the way, welcome to the forum!

Even with the links I couldn't find all the versions. According to to the few ones I was able to listen to. I didn't know neither did I that such different languages could sound the same.

I find Spanish and Greek very pleasant. Mandarin and Cantonese sound goofy. Arabic and Danish sound like throat diseases.
