Not my idea. I saw it in www. I only added the German Duden interpretation of the word and some own ideas to it.
A very interesting word: Hung. tolmács, German Dolmetscher (concensus>from Turkic TILMAÇ<TIL= tongue) Duden: from an "Anatolian" language Wolfram Wilss, a German Scholar: A Mitanni word
German Duden (the most famous dict of standart High German Language) has no exact idea. It doesn't say anything about the exact "roots" of this word. It doesn't refer to Turkish language, either (probably for good reason).
On the other hand we have the article by J. NÉMETH
"ZUR GESCHICHTE DES WORTES tolmács 'DOLMETSCHER'"
*
J. NÉMETH (a famous Hungarian linguist and Turkologist) says that the word TILMAÇ is definitely a Turkish word.
And Statistin and Dybo could construct a Proto Altaic *tilV
Proto-Turkic *dɨl / *dil
: "A Turk.-Tung. isogloss".

We have in the end:
A Mitanni word TALAMI meaning INTERPRETER
AND
a Turkish one TILMAÇ, meaning INTERPRETER
*
And now I ask the right question:
How is it possible that 2 words that are in so different in geography and distinct in time (Mitanni word is app. 3500 years old) are similar to each other in form and meaning?
Where and when was the junction?
>Türks have an older language than all others are thinking.
Have a nice day...
