  • Customs and Traditions Ufuk Arslan Anatolian High School
    CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS UFUK ARSLAN ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL ANKARA-TURKEY TURKISH COFFEE Turkish coffee (Türk kahvesi) is a method of preparing unfiltered coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are simmered in a pot (cezve), optionally with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. When served plain, the bitter coffee is traditionally accompanied by a sweet, such as a piece of rock candy or lokum. Turkish coffee is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Turkey confirmed by UNESCO. As well as being an everyday beverage, Turkish coffee is also a part of the traditional Turkish wedding custom. As a prologue to marriage, the bridegroom's parents (in the lack of his father, his mother and an elderly member of his family) must visit the young girl's family to ask the hand of the bride-to-be and the blessings of her parents upon the upcoming marriage. During this meeting, the bride-to-be must prepare and serve Turkish coffee to the guests. For the groom's coffee, the bride-to-be sometimes uses salt instead of sugar to gauge his character. If the bridegroom drinks his coffee without any sign of displeasure, the bride- to-be assumes that the groom is good-tempered and patient. So in fact it is the boy who is passing an exam. Also superstition says the grounds left after drinking Turkish coffee can be used for fortune-telling. The cup is commonly turned over into the saucer to cool, and it is believed by some that the patterns of the coffee grounds can be used for a method of fortune telling known as tasseography (kahve falı) Turkish coffee preparation (one cup): Pour water into a small Turkish coffee cup (fincan) (about 1.7oz) and dispense it into a small brass cezve, coffee pot.

    Turkish & Mediterranean Food ANATOLIAN TABLE RESTAURANT Serving Lunch and Dinner from early to late night. Celebrating Fresh Food for Healthier and Longer Life, Best Fish in Town. We welcome you to explore the exciting tastes from the Anatolian Region of Turkey at one of the Best Authentic Turkish Restaurants found in the United States. Turkish cuisine (Turkish: Türk mutfağı) is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine, which can be described as a fusion and refinement of Central Asian, Caucasian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines. Turkish cuisine has, in turn, influenced those and other neighboring cuisines, including those of Western Europe. The Ottomans fused various culinary traditions of their realm with influences from Middle Eastern cuisines, along with traditional Turkic elements from Central Asia (such as yogurt), creating a vast array of specialties—many with strong regional associations. In the western parts of Turkey, where olive trees grow abundantly, olive oil is the major type of oil used for cooking. The cuisines of the Aegean, Marmara and Mediterranean regions are rich in vegetables, herbs, and fish. Central Anatolia has many famous specialties, such as keşkek (kashkak), mantı (especially from Kayseri) and gözleme. Anatolian Table is highly rated because we only serve healthy, fresh, authentic homemade style dishes prepared without any food coloring, additives or MSG. Our recipes feature locally grown fresh produce and are prepared daily in the Anatolian Table kitchen from scratch. Treat yourself and a guest to the Anatolian Table experience to enjoy our authentic Turkish dishes, award-winning Turkish Tea and our warm hospitality. Thank you for coming, Mr E.

  • Mutual Intelligibility Among the Turkic Languages
    Mutual Intelligibility Among the Turkic Languages By Robert Lindsay Abstract: The Turkic family of languages with all important related dialects was analyzed on the basis of mutual intelligibility: (1) To determine the extent to which various Turkic lects can understand each other. (2) To ascertain whether various Turkic lects are better characterized as full languages in the own in need of ISO codes from SIL or rather as dialects of another language. (3) To analyze the history of various Turkic lects in an attempt to write a proper history of the important lects. (4) To attempt to categorize the Turkic languages in terms of subfamilies, sub-sub families, etc. The results were: (1) Rough intelligibility figures for various Turkic lects, related lects and Turkish itself were determined. Surprisingly, it was not difficult to arrive at these rough estimates. (2) The Turkic family was expanded from Ethnologue's 41 languages to 53 languages. Splitting: a number of new languages were created from existing dialects, as these dialects were better characterized as full languages than as dialects of another tongue. Lumping: a few existing languages were eliminated and re-analyzed as dialects of another or newly created language. (3) Full and detailed histories for many Turkic lects were written up in a coherent, easy to understand way, a task sorely needed in Turkic as histories of Turkic lects are often confused, inaccurate, controversial, and incomplete. (4) A new attempt was made at categorizing the Turkic family that rejects and rewrites some of the better-known characterizations. Acknowledgments: This paper could not be written without the generous support and kind, wise heart of Professor Suer Eker of Bashkent University in Ankara, who is in charge of the book project where this article is published.
