Syrian Turkmen or Syrian Turks (Suriye Türkleri) are Syrian citizens of Oghuz Turkish descent, who had been living in the Syrian province of the Ottoman Empire before its dissolution and continue to live in the modern country of Syria. The estimates of the number of Turkmens, living in Syria is unknown. The major cities with notable Turkmen populations are Latakia, Hama and Homs. The language spoken by the Turkmen of Syria is close to Standard Turkish. However, a high number of Turkmen integrated into the mainstream Syrian society adopt Arabic as their primary language.
