Abstract:

According to the classifications related to the Turkish dialects, Kosovo Turkish takes place in the Western Balkans Turkish dialects group. Kosovo Turkish dialect is the dialects spoken by the Turkish community living in Kosovo, speaking it as their mother tongue, as well as, by the other non-Turkish communities, speaking it as "city language". Considering the current official statistics, the number of those who speak Kosovo Turkish as their mother tongue is considerably lower than the number of those who speak Turkish as "city language". On the other hand, those who speak Turkish as a native speaker are mostly diglots or polyglots. As a result, Kosovo Turkish is in intense contact with other languages spoken in Kosovo. This language contacts had some impact on the verb inflection in Kosovo Turkish. This work is focused on the morphemes used for the inflection of the "optative mood" as well as, comparisons to the Standard Turkish meanings and / or functions. We will strive to create an opinion on Kosovo Turkish optative mood morphemes examples and their Albanian and Serbian equivalents doing the verb inflection comparison in order to reveal which of these languages have influenced the code copying.
