I was wondering is there a difference between them? Because i go on some sites andit says for example turkmen countries and turkey, and on some language sites its ays turkish and turkmenli, so are they both teh same thing?

Turkmenistan is a different country, in Central Asia.

Turkmen is an adjective describing something from Turkmenistan, just as Turk or Turkish describe s.t. from Turkey.

But, they have similar roots, and ancestors, as the Turks originally came from Central Asia.

okay i get it...

But is turkmenli the sam theing, because theres a channel (its Iraqi) its called turkmenli TV but they speak in turkish, so is it Turkmenli language but its close to turkish so i think its turkish?

They speak a language very close to Anatolian Turkish. Yes it is Turkish.

How do you watch that channel? Satellite dish?

yeah on satellite dish , i found it by accident, teh nice thing is taht they most of teh time have the arabic translation under, so it helps me undertsand what theyre saying sometimes but its a really stupid channel, you know it looks very unproffessional but i make use of what i ahve  

My neighbour´s wife is from Turkmenistan.  She told me it took her three months to learn Turkish once she moved here and asked me why it is taking me so long!

Actually 3 months is too long for someone who speaks any sort of Turkish. My uncle´s son frequently visits Turkic republics in central Asia and he told me that it would take me 2 or 3 weeks to speak their language.

I see a lot of TV programs imported from Turkey. Music clips, movies, series etc. It´s good for you that they have Arabic translation. I also like it when I see some subtitles in a language I understand better than the language I listen to at the same time.

 It depends on the country!

I have sat and had a conversation with a Türkmen, with him speaking Türkmence and me speakin Türkçe and we understood each other fine.  I can follow Azeri TV, and have spoken with some Azeris (me Turkish - them Azeri).

But Üzbek and Kazakh are one step further removed. You dont just swap vowel sounds, you swap consonants as well e.g. men = ben etc.

These are dilaects in one country or lots of countries?
