Although various languages are spoken in Turkey, the language that TÄ°D has mostly borrowed from is Turkish, the dominant language. Some of the words and phrases in Turkish are already loans borrowed from Arabic, Persian, French, and other languages, and therefore these words also appear in TÄ°D. Borrowings from Turkish (and the languages Turkish has borrowed from) have taken many forms, the most prevalent of which are calques, fingerspelling, and mouthing. Apart from these, there are a few marginal or untypical forms, which we mention below.
