Sunday:
Our country for today is Turkey, or Arabic turkia. Turkey is, of course, north of Syria. Arabic language and script was used there until early this century. Turkey now uses Latin based characters with Arabic influence on a lot of vocabulary. Needless to say, most of the population are Muslims. By the way, how do you say "In Turkey, there are alot of mosques."?
