This case study aimed at investigating the Turkmen's of Jordan language proficiency in Turkmen and Arabic, their use of Turkmen and Arabic in their daily interaction, the Turkmen’s cultural aspects which they preserved and the factors that helped them to preserve their ethnic language and culture.

In order to achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher followed the case study approach and utilized pilot questionnaire, semistructured interviews as well as observation and chose a sample of five Turkmen families living in different parts of Amman- Jordan.

The findings of the study indicated that the Turkmen of Jordan have high levels of proficiency in oral-aural skills in Turkmen and Arabic while they have very low levels of proficiency in reading and writing in both languages.

Additionally, Turkmen is almost exclusively used at home while Arabic is used in the work and worshipping places.

Moreover, the Turkmen of Jordan have preserved their culture in many aspects such as their life style, their clothing, their food and their marriage traditions.

Finally, the study revealed that the factors that helped them to preserve their ethnic language and culture include family, media, lack of education, their refusal of external marriages and their partial isolation from the Jordanian society.
