Persian and Turkish

Persian, also known as Farsi, is characterized as one of the most beautiful languages because of its poetic, soft and song-like pronunciation. It belongs to the Indo-Iranian languages in the Indo-European family. Persian is spoken mainly in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Dari is the Afghan dialect of Persian spoken in Afghanistan and mutually intelligible with Persian of Iran.

Turkish is one of the Turkic languages of the Altaic language family. It is the official language in Turkey and also spoken in Cyprus, Europe and the Middle East. The origin of Turkish can be traced back to Ottoman Turkish, which was written in Arabic script and contained many Arabic and Persian loanwords. After reformation, Modern Turkish is now using Latin alphabet and has replaced the loanwords with Turkish equivalents.

Interested users could go to the Language Learning Centre of the Hong Kong Central Library to find out more about Persian and Turkish.

Reptiles

Reptiles include crocodiles, snakes, lizards, turtles, tortoises, the extinct dinosaurs, etc. Apart from snakes which move on their bellies, all reptiles crawl on their four sprawling legs. In fact, the term ‘reptile’ comes from Latin meaning ‘creeping’. Same as mammals and birds, reptiles are also vertebrates and breathe with lungs but instead of having skin covered with hair or feathers, reptiles are covered with horny scales or scutes. Besides, reptiles are cold-blooded animals. They need to stay in the sun or stay out of the sun to regulate their body temperature, and hibernate during winter months to survive the cold. Connect to the MMIS to find out more.
