Got a thought experiment for everyone...remember, there is no wrong answer (last I checked)...
I once read that the bulk of Chingis Khaan's army was composed of Turkic soldiers.
I also read that the Mongol army twice attempted to invade Japan.
WHAT IF...
what if one of those invasion attempts had been succeessful to at least a small degree?
what would a Turco-Japanese creole or hybrid language be like? whose grammar
do you think it would resemble more? any quirks that might appear, based upon
tendancies among the speakers of the parent populations?
thoughts?
