Well to say I know a bit of Arabic and Urdu as well as some words from Persian, I think that many of the words in these languages are similar to Turkish

Language of Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan are like dialects of Turkish. I think you can communicate with people from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan with a little help with English or Russian. Turkish is the dominant language of the Turkic language family so they can understand us easily (As far as i know Turkish TV channels are popular among Turkic countries) but their pronunciations are way more faster than us.
There are minorities in the Middle East (mostly Turkmens) and Eastern Europe. In some of these countries, Turkish is one of the official languages.
We have a lot of Arabic, French and Persian loan words. As an Arabic learner, I think the loan words make it easy to learn.
(Please correct me if you have time)
