Part of the Expanding Circle in Kachruvian concentric conceptualization of the Englishes around the globe, English in Turkey has no recognized official status in the State. Nevertheless, English performs an array of functions in different domains in the country in addition to being used as a medium of international communication with the rest of the world. The main argument of the paper is twofold: first, to present certain sociolinguistic characteristics of the country that are shared by former colonies of English-speaking nations, despite the fact that it has never been colonized by English-speaking powers; second, to contemplate upon the particular reasons for the developments in light of sociopolitical and historical movements, as well as the recent repercussions in the nation.5
