Nations is the thirtieth (assuming read left to right) skill in the language tree for Turkish. There are five lessons that teach countries, languages and nationalities.
Grammar Notes[]
Turkish denotes languages by adding the suffix -CA to the demonym of the country. The capital C in -CA is because it can be either -çA or -cA depending on consonant harmony, which is described in the locative case skill.
Also remember that Turkish differentiates between languages and nationalities, unlike English.
