There are over 50 million speakers of Azerbaijani at present in the world. Genealogically, the Azerbaijani language belongs to the Turkic group of languages and, together with closely associated Turkish, Turkmen and Gagauz languages, forms the southwestern group of Turkic languages. The development of the Azerbaijani language is closely tied to the history of Azerbaijan. Thus it is also essential to learn the country’s history to fully understand the Azerbaijani language.
Every year August 1 annually celebrates the Day of Azerbaijani Alphabet and Day of Azerbaijani language by decree No 552, dated August 9, 2001, signed by national leader Heydar Aliyev.
