    Abstract:
    Subject of this article is the Gagauz language, spoken by about 200,000 speakers, mainly in the Republic of Moldova and the Ukraine. Linguistically, it is very close to Turkish but shows several special features that have developed under the influence of Slavic languages. The linguistic features of the Gagauz language will be examined and are compared with their Turkish equivalents. The final section of the article will focus on the status of endangerment of the language.
