- Not exactly. Jews most certainly. Jews who speak a Turkic language, most certainly. But Turks, i.e., Turk(ic?) converts to Judaism? Not necessarily. The history of the group who speak the "Karaim" language is far too shrouded by history, or ahistory, to make any reliable assertions about their origins. :-p -t Tomer TALK 09:50, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
