Özet:

Strong neighbor relations between Georgia and Turkey have allowed for many interactions to be intensely experienced and maintained in language and culture just as in many areas. The effective communication that both countries established with each other during the historical process has reflected on their vocabulary and enabled thousands of common words to take place in both languages. This interaction continuing between the two communities has become even stronger today and the demand to learn Turkish and Georgian has extremely increased. To this end, in this study it is aimed to determine the words used commonly in Turkish and Georgian in order to enable either Turkish learners or Georgian learners to be better motivated in language acquisition and take the researches for the field a step further. By means of document analysis method many sources were reviewed and thereby a lot of words used commonly in both languages were found. Besides, the study also comprises the changes in the Georgian dialect, which is used in the Adjarian region, an autonomous republic of Georgia, but not used in official Georgian and some field researches to determine this have also partly been done. Accordingly, thousands of common words are found between Turkish and Georgian, but most of these are of Adjarian dialect of Georgian. In this context, just as the dimensions of the reflection of differences such as language, culture, geography, etc. among the regions specific to Georgia on language are understood, the power of the relationship between Turkish and Georgia is also presented with this study.
