Strange term

The article says that partial Turks are also called German-Turks. That can't be right! Where is the source for that?

A person whose parents are a Turkish-German couple can't be called the same as Turks in Germany whose two parents are Turkish. The correct term would be: Turko-Germans for people of mixed German-Turkish origin. Twiggycoco (talk) 22:26, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any source for "Turko-Germans"? I have done some research on the topic and have never heard of the term. Armchair Anthropologist (talk) 22:56, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alamancılar

This term is not used in Turkish for people of mixed German-Turkish origin, as the article claims. Alamancılar are those Turks from Germany (both parents are of Turkish origin), but a mixed person is a Melez (singular) Melezler (plural). Often also called Melez Türk.

Contentious Population Number

The number of Turks in Germany has three different figures. Most German sources and statistical information points to about 4 Mio. people who are either Turkish citizens in Germany and/or Germans of Turkish descent. The high number of 7 Mio. is sourced from a New York Times article, and after reading it they do not make it clear where they pulled that number from (the article is about football/soccer fans).
