syd@lemy.loltoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How intelligible are Turkish and Azeri? I know they are close enough, but I wonder if it similar to Scottish English vs. American English or farther, more like Spanish vs. Portuguese?

I can understand 80-90% of Azeri from either directly from words or context of the sentence. Azeri sounds more accented too.
I really don’t know the Scottish English so I’m not sure if its better fit.
Maybe you’re right 🤔 The Azeri people I interacted had very clear accent than the average. So I guess we can lower the assumption to %70? 🙂
