Why? That's like saying "MA in Slavic studies - Old Bulgarian and Greek."

It makes perfect sense because I assume someone made a mistake, either accidentally or on purpose.

Why would somebody make that mistake on purpose.

I didn't say it was on purpose. Maybe someone just doesn't know Turkic is not an Arabic language. Nothing confusing about that.

I'm a student too, in my final year of secondary school. Next year I hope to study engineering (undenominated for a year, and then I'll join a second year denominated). Linguistics is also a hobby for me, and my interest in it stems from cryptology and that I study Irish, French and German.

Actually, you did.

No, but you should probably know that if you have a degree in it.

Yes, I think so.

I said it was on purpose, I didn't say it was... Hm... something is not right with this sentence. I came across this before, I just don't know what's the problem. Sometimes to me it feels perfectly natural to say something is while meaning it isn't. Just like now, it's raining outside but I don't mind if someone would say it is not raining even if I see it is with my own eyes. Strange indeed.

Well probably, your not required to though.
