Ottoman Turkish
Language is one of the most important elements that reinforces its ties with its history. The Arabic alphabet, which began to be used immediately after the Turks accepted the religion of Islam, was used for about thousand years in almost all parts of the world where Turkish people lived, and the new written language which was created in Anatolia with this alphabet, was first called Old Anatolian Turkish and then Ottoman Turkish. Many works in Ottoman Turkish were written in every place where the Ottomans set foot and this written language performed important tasks in making these lands into homeland. For this reason, even today it is possible to find works written in Ottoman Turkish in almost every place where the Ottoman Empire has set foot and to rewrite our history with the works.
Nowadays, the way to feel interested in Turkish history and Turkish literature is possible by learning Ottoman Turkish. Learning Ottoman Turkish makes it possible for us even to truly read and understand the times of hundred years ago and to see our history with our own eyes. Today, Ottoman Turkish is considered as an elective course in primary and secondary education, and this written language is gradually beginning to receive the right place in our cultural world.
