Turkish is a very ancient language and belongs to the Altaic branch of the Ural-Altaic family of languages.
Altaic is believed to have originated in the high lands around the Altay Mountains of Central Asia. More than 90 percent of all contemporary speakers of Altaic languages speak a Turkish language. The peoples of this region led a nomadic life. Turks, too, for centuries being nomads, took their language along whereever they moved. The Turkish language now stretches from the Mongolian lands and China to the present day Turkey. The far eastern border of the language now is where once the Turkish people have originated from.
The Turkish language at present is being heavily spoken in the following countries and regions: Turkey, Northern Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Ozbekistan, Turkistan, Kazakistan, Kirgizistan, Tajikistan and so on.

I personally believe that the ancient Turkish must have been some kind of a creole. It is quite possible that because the earlier forms were not written down, or if they were, they have not been discovered yet or have been lost, we are left with simplistic theories such as the arbitrarly imposed language family names, such as IE, Altaic, Sino-Tibetan etc.
I also believe that proto-Indo-European and proto-Turkic share a common root, or have been in contact in a very distant past.
There is also the issue of changing geography. Assuming that the proto language families that were the precursors of today's modern tongues go back for at least 7,000 to 10,000 years, it is reasonable to accept the possibility that we have only surveyed a tiny portion of the land for ancient relics & records. The Taklamakan desert used to be a flush green pasture, and so was the Sahara not that long ago. Neither area have been explored sufficiently as it is very difficult to do so in a desert environment. But, who knows what is still under the sands waiting to be discovered.
Another point to keep in mind is the breaking of the Bosphorus and the filling of the Black Sea basin.
Aside from Turkish, I sometimes think that Latin could have been a creole as well. Think about the story pertaining to the founding of the City of Rome and the "Rape of Sabine Women" in mythology.
