And it has reminded me again what a linguistic paradise it is. In 2 days I had a chance to speak: Turkish (of course), Levantine Arabic (with tourists from Palestine who were asking for directions), Kurdish (at a cafe), and Bulgarian (with the residence area security guy who is a Bulgarian Turk; I don't really speak Bulgarian so I spoke a mix of Serbian and Russian with him).
