الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aimed at investigating the language situation among the Turkmen in Baghdad.

The study attempted to explore the domains of use of the Turkmen language and Arabic, their attitudes towards their ethnic language and Arabic, and the factors that led them to either maintain or lose their ethnic language.

The researcher selected a sample that consisted of (100) subjects from the Turkmen of Baghdad covering different age, gender and educational background.

The instruments of the study were a community profile, open-ended interviews and a sociolinguistic questionnaire.

Results showed that the Turkmen of Baghdad have maintained their ethnic language over the years despite the presence of the majority and the official language Arabic.

They used their ethnic language in different domains especially at home and among their family members.

Also, they used both languages (their ethnic language and Arabic) in different social domains such as neighborhood, place of work, schools, media and other public places.

They have displayed positive attitudes towards their ethnic language and Arabic alike.

The results also revealed that social, cultural and political factors played a significant role in 1maintaining their ethnic language in Baghdad.

The researcher suggested conducting similar studies about other ethnic groups in Baghdad like the Kurds, the Aramenians, the Sabians, the Yazidis and the Shabak.
