'''Populli turk''' ({{lang-tr|Türk ulusu}}), ose '''Tyrqit''' ({{lang-tr|Türkler}}), të njohur edhe si '''Turqit e Anadollit''' ({{lang-tr|Anadolu Türkleri}}), janë një grupe etnik dhe [[komb]] turkik, të cilët jetojnë kryesisht në [[Turqia|Turqi]] dhe flasin [[Gjuha turke|gjuhën turke]], gjuhën më të folur [[Gjuhët turkike|familjes gjuhësore turkike]]. Ata janë grupi etnik më i madh në Turqi, si dhe kombi më i madh në mesin e kombeve turkike. Minoritete etnike turke jetojnë në tokat e dikurshme të [[Perandoria Osmane|Perandorisë Osmane]]. Përveç kësaj, diaspora tuke është themeluar me mërgime bashkëkohore, sidomos në [[Evropa Perëndimore|Evropën Perëndimore]].

 

== Etimologjia dhe identiteti etnik ==

 

Në shekullin XIX, fjala ''turk'' i referohej fshatarëve të [[Anadolli]]t. Klasa sunduese osmane e identifikonte veten zakonisht si [[Osmanllinjtë|osmanët]], e jo si turq.<ref>(Kushner 1997: 219; Meeker 1971: 322)</ref> Në fund të shekullit XIX, klasat e larta osmane duke adoptuar idetë evropiane të nacionalizmit, termi ''türk'' mori një konotacion pozitiv.<ref>(Kushner 1997: 220–221)</ref> Turqisht-folësit e Anadollit ishin përkrahësit më besnikë të sundimit [[Perandoria Osmane|osman]].
