“ICLHE Turkic” is a regional group of www.iclhe.org
Who we mean
Turk
The person. A native or inhabitant of Türkiye, or a person of Turkish descent. Every citizen of Türkiye is a Turk.
Turkish
The adjective, and the language. Turkish is not a separate nationality. It is the official language of Türkiye.
Turkic
The wider family: peoples who speak a Turkic language. Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Turkmen and Uzbeks are Turkic, not Turkish.
Six states
Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. In each, a Turkic language is a language of the state.

This group works on integrating content and language in higher education in the Turkic countries, and among Turkic-speaking minorities elsewhere. If that is your research, you will find colleagues here. If you want to learn more about these contexts, you are just as welcome.
