Turkish is spoken by over 200 million people and is the world’s 7th most widely used language, out of over 4000. Today’s Turkish has evolved from dialects known since the 11th century and is one of the group of languages known as Ural-Altaic which includes Finnish and Hungarian.

Cleanliness has always been a priority in both Turkish and Islamic society. There have been hamam (Turkish Bath) or public bath houses in Turkey since medieval times. The tradition reached its height during Ottoman times. Bathing would become a social occasion, accompanied by a picnic and it provided the ideal opportunity for women to shortlist potential brides for their sons. Even today there are separate baths for men or women, or in case a town has only one hamam, different times of day or days of the week are allocated to men and women.
