About the Turkish Language

Turkish is the most widely spoken of the Turkic languages, with around 10–15 million native speakers in Southeast Europe (mostly in East and Western Thrace) and 60–65 million native speakers in Western Asia (mostly in Anatolia).

Turkish as an official EU language, even though Turkey is not a member state.

The earliest known Old Turkic inscriptions are the three monumental Orkhon inscriptions found in modern Mongolia. Erected in honour of the prince Kul Tigin and his brother Emperor Bilge Khagan, these date back to the second Turk Kaghanate. After the discovery and excavation of these monuments and associated stone slabs by Russian archaeologists in the wider area surrounding the Orkhon Valley between 1889 and 1893, it became established that the language on the inscriptions was the Old Turkic language written using the Old Turkic alphabet, which has also been referred to as "Turkic runes" or "runiform" due to a superficial similarity to the Germanic runic alphabets.

With the Turkic expansion during Early Middle Ages (c. 6th–11th centuries), peoples speaking Turkic languages spread across Central Asia, covering a vast geographical region stretching from Siberia and to Europe and the Mediterranean. The Seljuqs of the Oghuz Turks, in particular, brought their language, Oghuz—the direct ancestor of today's Turkish language—into Anatolia during the 11th century. Also during the 11th century, an early linguist of the Turkic languages, Mahmud al-Kashgari from the Kara-Khanid Khanate, published the first comprehensive Turkic language dictionary and map of the geographical distribution of Turkic speakers in the Compendium of the Turkic Dialects (Ottoman Turkish: Divânü Lügati't-Türk).

Turkish Document Translation

Turkish spoken in Turkey (Istanbul Turkish) forms the basis of the standard language, but documents may also originate from Turkish-speaking communities in Cyprus, the Balkans, and Central Asia, each with localised vocabulary. Northern Cyprus issues official documents in Turkish with terminology that sometimes diverges from Republic of Turkey conventions. Ottoman-era documents, still occasionally presented for genealogical or property purposes, use an entirely different script and archaic vocabulary requiring specialist expertise.

Turkish Document Types

A birth certificate is a doğum belgesi or nüfus kayıt örneği (population register extract), and a marriage certificate is an evlenme cüzdanı. Criminal record certificates are issued as adli sicil kaydı, and university diplomas are titled simply diploma or mezuniyet belgesi.

Turkish is the official language of both the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and it holds co-official status in Cyprus overall. It is a recognised minority language in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. Turkish is not an official EU language but is used in EU accession negotiations and in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

Industry Requirements

The Legal Practice Board of Western Australia governs the legal profession in WA. The Law Society of Western Australia is the professional association, and the Legal Services and Complaints Committee handles disciplinary matters. At the federal level, the Attorney-General's Department oversees legal policy.

Key documents requiring translation include court orders and judgments, statutory declarations and affidavits, powers of attorney, contracts and commercial agreements, wills and probate documents, police clearance certificates from overseas jurisdictions, and family law documentation including custody agreements and divorce decrees from foreign courts.

All foreign-language documents tendered as evidence in Australian courts must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified translation. The Supreme Court of Western Australia and the Federal Court require certified translations for any non-English exhibits, and law firms routinely specify NAATI certification for client documents from overseas.

Perth's legal sector handles substantial cross-border commercial work driven by the resources industry, with firms like Herbert Smith Freehills, Allens, and Clayton Utz maintaining large Perth offices. Family law and migration law practices across the city regularly require NAATI-certified translations of personal documents from South-East Asian, African, and Middle Eastern jurisdictions.
