Mongol wrote:Yakut is somewhat divergent from the other Turkic languages, but still very closely related to them.
The similarities to Turkish could not have been more obvious, but I don't think they are mutually intelligible, although speakers of both languages would recognize many words from each other's languages.
Mongol wrote: I think it's Chuvash that's probably the real link between Turkic and Mongolian.

en tr kz sa
book kitap kitap kiniige
table masa üstel ostuol
pen kalem qalam uruuchuka
write yaz- jaz- suruy-
notebook defter däpter tetereet
chair sandalye orındıq oloppos
window pencere tereze tünnük
door kapı esik aan
etc
