Since Turkish is the official language here in Northern Cyprus, it's obviously useful if you're not a Turkish speaker to get to know the language for your day-to-day life.
But did you know that Turkish is one of the top twenty most frequently used languages in the world, and that varieties of Turkish are spoken right across Turkey and central Asia and all the way to China?
Our advice is to take advantage of your time in Northern Cyprus and make sure you learn as much as you can of this increasingly important language.
