Gagauz is the only Oghuz Turkic language with a grammar order same as the Indo European languages. Probably a result of long contact with Romanian and isolation from other Oghuz Turks.
The contact has been mostly with Bulgarian though, they moved from Bulgaria to Bessarabia 200 years ago, and even there were settling side by side with Bulgarians.
@Cypher Both Bessarabian Bulgarians and Gagauz used to live in Bulgaria. Budjak (the southern part of Bessarabia) was for centuries under Ottoman rule, and largely inhabited by the Nogai Tatars, who were expelled, when the area was conquered by Russia in 1812, and new settlers, including Bulgarians, Gagauz and Germans, were moving in.
I also noticed that. If not mistaken, Gagauz has that “relative clause” structure which haunted me when I first saw. In the Gagauz version of the song Katyusha, I came across this expression: …türkü çalardı yürekten gözel bir oğlana, hangisini o pek çok severdi.”
Çünkü Gagavuz Türkçesi hiçbir zaman "dil devrimi" yaşamadı. Ve onlar teslis inancında İsa'nın babası olan büyük tanrıya Allah derler. İsa'ya da Yesuğ derler.
Gagauz syntax is fully Turkic other than the fact that it is SVO (the verb comes before the object) and that it bears some features of the Balkan sprachbund. Thats it.

@Cypher Moldovan existed just before a Romanian citizen Maya Sandu decided it shouldn’t exist. Interesting. And it does exist in Transnistria. BTW Romanian is a creole language. Many linguists believe that the pre-19th century Romanian language was basically Slavic, subjected to Latin influence. Cyrillic alphabet was Romanian’s original script for centuries and they did switch to the Latin script some 160 years ago, cause it’s more prestigious, I guess. Romanian philologist Alexandru Cihak considered Romanian to be a Creole language. In his dictionary of the Romanian language of 1879 there were 20.58% of words of Latin origin, 41% of the Slavic origin. But in the Romanian dictionary of 1931 (I. Candrya, G. Adamescu) there were 20.6% of words of Latin origin, 29.69% of French, 16.59% of Slavic. Romanian is a made-up language.

Actually Allah and tanrı dont have same meanings. Allah means a spesific tanrı which is about İslam. Tanrı is a general name for all of them. Ez: if tanri = City , then the other equel to İstanbul. Also in Arabic there is a word, ilah which is same with tanrı
@@ArdaSRealcorrection: the word "Allah" is literally the Arabic translation of the word "Tanrı (God)". They have the exact same meaning, and Christians whose language have Arabic influence often call God "Allah" as well. It's not really a seperate word.

Correct. Several genetic studies made on the Gagauz minority residing in present-day Moldova have shown that they actually share more closer genetic ties with their regional neighbors compared to any other Turkic speaking group. In fact the Hungarians have a similar situation as they are also genetically closer to those around them than any linguistically related Uralic nation
