What are the language proficiency requirements for obtaining Turkish citizenship?

I have read that there are no language requirements while obtaining citizenship by investment in Turkey. Does this apply to other citizenship pathways, as well, or only for investors? If I apply for citizenship through marriage or after long-term residency, would I need to pass a test or an interview in Turkish?

    No Turkish language proficiency is sought for CBI applications for Turkey. However, for other citizenship applications, proficiency in Turkish is sought and the applicant is subjected to an interview before a commission for such determination.
