[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=8) Even when Turks pray, they pray like soldiers.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=13) Right. There’s absolutely no movement, even after the prayer.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=18) Uh, the glorification is by command, and the supplication is by command.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=23) Right. It’s a military system. Glory be to God. This is something sociological.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=32) This system, for example, we say Onbaşı, yüzbaşı, binbaşı.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=37) Even in Arabic, we use—ranks. Ranks. They were the first to establish these ranks.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=44) When? He was Turkish, in Central Asia. Two thousand years before Christ.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=51) This system, I mean, this system is used by all the armies of the world.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=55) Onbaşı, yüzbaşı—this system comes from the Turks.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=59) They’re, I mean, naturally military-minded.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=64) And their— their movements are organized. Organized.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=67) And there’s, I mean, if someone— even in Turkish, for example.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=74) Some people don’t know Turkish. When they hear Turkish, they say, for example, Persian, there’s, uh, how do I say it…

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=85) Resonant and melodic, like a song, like poetry.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=89) The Arabic language is like the Quran. When you read the Quran, there's something there.

[1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=93) But the Turkish language is commands. They say...

[1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=97) I mean, in Turkish there's pressure like this.

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O75gM1N0Gp53/en/discussing-military-influence-on-turkish-prayer-and-language?t=100) This comes from the army. I mean, any sociological factor, nature or its innate qualities affect everything.
