  • Orthographic Transparency and the Ottoman Abjad Maithili Jais
    Orthographic Transparency and the Ottoman Abjad Maithili Jais University of Florida Spring 2018 I. Introduction In 2014, the debate over whether Ottoman Turkish was to be taught in schools or not was once again brought to the forefront of Turkish society and the Turkish conscience, as Erdogan began to push for Ottoman Turkish to be taught in all high schools across the country (Yeginsu, 2014). This became an obsession of a news topic for media in the West as well as in Turkey. Turkey’s tumultuous history with politics inevitably led this proposal of teaching Ottoman Turkish in all high schools to become a hotbed of controversy and debate. For all those who are perfectly contented to let bygones be bygones, there are many who assert that the Ottoman Turkish alphabet is still relevant and important. In fact, though this may be a personal anecdote, there are still certainly people who believe that the Ottoman script is, or was, superior to the Latin alphabet with which modern Turkish is written. This thesis does not aim to undertake a task so grand as sussing out which of the two was more appropriate for Turkish. No, such a task would be a behemoth for this paper. Instead, it aims to answer the question, “How?” Rather, “How was the Arabic script moulded to fit Turkish and to what consequence?” Often the claim that one script it superior to another suggests inherent judgement of value, but of the few claims seen circulating Facebook on the efficacy of the Ottoman script, it seems some believe that it represented Turkish more accurately and efficiently.

  • Language Use in the Ottoman Empire and Its Problems
    LANGUAGE USE IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND ITS PROBLEMS (1299-1923) by Yelda Saydam Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree M. Phil. in the Faculty of Humanities (Department of Greek and Centre for Islamic Studies) at the University of Johannesburg Supervisor: Prof. B. Hendrickx Co-supervisor: Dr A. Dockrat Johannesburg 2006/7 Abstract The Ottoman Empire, an imperial power that existed from 1299 to 1923, was one of the largest empires to rule the borders of the Mediterranean Sea. Ottoman Turkish was used especially between the 16th and 19th centuries during the Ottoman Empire. This ornamented, artificial language separated the general population from intellectual and palace elite and a communication problem followed. Although the minorities of the Ottoman Empire were free to use their language amongst themselves, if they needed to communicate with the government they had to use Ottoman Turkish. This thesis explains these language differences and the resulting problems they created during the Empire. Examples of original correspondence are used to highlight the communication differences and the difficulties that ensured. From this study, the author concludes that Ottoman Turkish was not a separate language from Turkish; instead, it was a variation of Turkish in inexistence for approximately 600 years. I Preface My family and I came to South Africa from Turkey during August 2002 for my husband’s sabbatical as a post-doctoral fellow at University of The Witwatersrand. We both took a years leave from our jobs when we came to South Africa. I was working for Havva Özişbakan High School in İzmir, Turkey as a Turkish Language and Literature teacher.

New literary and visual evi- dence for sixteenth-century Ottoman Arabic and Ottoman Turkish sign systems are presented and analyzed in this article. Al-Jā ḥ i ẓ (d. 869), a famous author of Arabic literature and theology in Abbasid-era Iraq, counted signs (in Arabic, ishārāt) among the five methods of expressing oneself, the other four be- ing speech, writing, monumental architecture, and finger reckoning (ḥisāb al-ʿaqd) (Pellat 1997). We know much about “literacy, orality and aurality in pre-print Middle Eastern societies” and the attendant cultures of reading, speaking, and writing (Hirschler 2012, 7).

  • 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.

  • 1. the Origin of the Cumans
    Christianity among the Cumans Roger Finch 1. The Origin of the Cumans The question of where the Cumans originated has been the object of much study but a definitive answer to this cannot yet be given. The Cumans are known in Russian historical sources as Polovtsy and in Arabic sources generally as Kipchak Qipchak, although the Arabic author al-Marwazi writing about 1120 referred to them as Qûn, which corresponds to the Hungarian name for the Cumans, Kun. The Russian name for these people, Polovtsy < Slav. polovyi pale; pale yellow is supposedly a translation of the name Quman in Tur- kic, but there is no word in any Turkic dialect with this meaning; the only word in Turkic which at all approximates this meaning and has a similar form is OT qum sand, but this seems more an instance of folk etymology than a likely derivation. There is a word kom in Kirghiz, kaum in Tatar, meaning people, but these are from Ar. qaum fellow tribes- men; kinfolk; tribe, nation; people. The most probable reflexes of the original word in Tur- kic dialects are Uig., Sag. kun people, OT kun female slave and Sar. Uig. kun ~ kun slave; woman < *kümün ~ *qumun, cf. Mo. kümün, MMo. qu’un, Khal. xun man; person; people, and this is the most frequent meaning of ethnonyms in the majority of the worlds languages. The Kipchaks have been identified as the remainder of the Türküt or Türk Empire, which was located in what is the present-day Mongolian Republic, and which collapsed in 740. There are inscriptions engraved on stone monuments, located mainly in the basin of the Orkhon River, in what has been termed Turkic runic script; these inscriptions record events from the time the Türküt were in power and, in conjunction with information recorded in the Chinese annals of the time about them, we have a clearer idea of who these people were during the time their empire flourished than after its dissolution.

  • Similarities and Differences in the Language of Official Records in Selected Crimean and Ottoman Judicial Books*
    Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. Volume 69 (4), 397 – 409 (2016) DOI: 10.1556/062.2016.69.4.4 SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN THE LANGUAGE OF OFFICIAL RECORDS IN SELECTED CRIMEAN AND OTTOMAN JUDICIAL BOOKS* KATARZYNA STEFANIAK-RAK Department of Asian Studies, Section of Turkic, Mongolian and Korean Studies Adam Mickiewicz University al. Niepodległości 24, 61-714 Poznań, Poland e-mail: [email protected] The aim of this paper is to discuss both similarities and differences in selected judicial books. Legal terminology and functional vocabulary will be analysed on the basis of words from a Crimean judi- cial book. Subsequently, books from different regions of the Ottoman Empire will be analysed with regard to their presence. Judicial books are registries which were written in Ottoman Turkish in ju- dicial offices. This publication is an attempt at answering the following questions: Were the words and formulae used in the records similar? Are the names of objects the same? Was the language of the local population reflected in the court records? Key words: judicial books, Crimea, Ottoman Empire, legal terminology, Crimean-Tatar language, Ottoman language. 1. Introduction The language of Ottoman judicial books called sicills and defters is very distinctive. It differs significantly from the literary language. It results, first and foremost, from the contents of the books. Grzegorzewski (1912, p. 7) characterises court records as “judicial books or written records to which the judge himself, i.e. kadi or his deputy or a writer under the supervision of the kadi who is the supervisor of these books (sicill idaresi), adds all acts of public and private life which are subject to notarial and judicial review.ˮ Fekete (1926, p.

  • Month Names in the Chulym Turkic Dialects – Their Origin and Meaning
    Studia Linguistica Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis vol. 128 (2011) © E. Mańczak-Wohlfeld & WUJ Studia Linguistica Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis 128 (2011) MARZANNA POMORSKA Jagiellonian University, Cracow MONTH NAMES IN THE CHULYM TURKIC DIALECTS – THEIR ORIGIN AND MEANING Keywords: Chulym Turkic, month names, etymology, comparative linguistics Abstract Our article presents not just a review of the traditional month names in the Chulym Turkic dialects, but also its analysis from a lexical, etymological, semantic and ethno- graphic point of view. Studying the traditional month names may uncover interesting and important infor- mation about aspects of the lives of their users, e.g. their main occupations, means of obtaining food, impact of natural phenomena, plants and animals important to them, the influences of foreign cultures or religions. It is especially important to in- vestigate less well-known peoples like the Turkic peoples in Siberia, among them the Chulym Turkic peoples. Our aim is not just a review of the existing material,1 but also its analysis from a lexical, etymological, semantic and ethnographic point of view. Among younger generations of the Chulym Turkic peoples, we may expect the use of Russian names for the months, but they are not recorded in the literature, not even in the most recent monograph by Li Yong-Sŏng (2008). Traditional Chulym names for the months of the year were first recorded by J.P. Falk 2 in his Beiträge zur topographischen Kenntnis des Russischen Reichs, III, St. Petersburg 1786: 467ff. (cf. Duĺzon 1952: 117ff.) or 557 (cf. Alekseev 1991: 84). Chulym month names are recorded in several other publications: Küärik names 1 For sources of Chulym Turkic lexical materials and the transcription used see Pomorska 2004.

    West East Journal of Social Sciences-April 2013 Volume 2 Number 1 TURKIZATION OR RE-TURKIZATION OF THE OTTOMAN BULGARIA: CASE STUDY OF NIGBOLU SANDJAK IN THE 16 th CENTURY Nuray Ocaklı, Department of History,Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey Abstract Pre-Ottoman Turkic settlers such as Uzs, Pechenegs, Cumans, and Tatars were the main political and military actors of the Danubian Bulgaria until the Ottoman conquest and even after the post-conquest era, their descendents kept memory of these steppe peoples alive for centuries under the Ottoman Rule. The famous Ottoman Traveller Evliya Chelebi (1611-1682) in his travel book, Seyahatname , called the north-eastern region of the Ottoman-Bulgaria, as “ Uz Eyaleti ” (the province of Uz). After the conquest of Bulgaria, medieval military inheritance of the Balkans consisted basis of the Ottoman system and Ottomans adapted the well-functioning institutions and organization of the Bulgarian Kingdom such as administrative division, local taxes, and military organizations consisted of many Turkic soldiers. During the post-conquest era and even in the first half of the 16 th century, ethnic and military culture of these Turkic steppe peoples were still alive in civil and military organizations of Ottoman Bulgaria. Examination of Ottoman cadastral surveys and military registers shows that these pre-Ottoman Turkic inhabitants in Christian settlements consisted of an important part of multi-ethnic urban and rural demography of the region as well as being an important non-Slavic and non-Greek Christian element of Ottoman military class in Bulgaria. Turkic peoples of the northern steppe region came to these lands as populous nomadic invaders.

  • The Sociolinguistic Role of Ottoman Turkish and Arabic in Turkish Nationalism
    THE SOCIOLINGUISTIC ROLE OF OTTOMAN TURKISH AND ARABIC IN TURKISH NATIONALISM by AMY LYNN JENSEN Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Sabancı University July 2017 © Amy Lynn Jensen 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE SOCIOLINGUISTIC ROLE OF OTTOMAN TURKISH AND ARABIC IN TURKISH NATIOANLISM AMY LYNN JENSEN Masters Thesis, July 2017 Supervisor: Prof Ersin Kalaycıoğlu Keywords: sociolinguistics, Ottoman Turkish, Arabic, Nationalism Turkey has always been characterized by a seeming tug-a-war between polarizing social the- ories, political ideologies and nationalisms. The notion of nationalism depends on a variety of fac- tors: race, ethnicity, territory, shared cultural practices, shared historical experience etc, but lan- guage can also serve as an extremely important vessel for nationalist sentiment, and this is espe- cially true in the Turkish context where the entire orthography of the Turkish language was changed in the 1920s to accommodate the founding republic's desire to shift its identity more westward. For the majority of the twentieth century there was the social and political will to limit the influence of Arabic, not only because it wasn't simply Turkish, but also because the language car- ried the added weight of Islamic religious connotations, another aspect of Turkish identity that Ata- türk wished to marginalize. However, within the twenty-first century there has been a shift in the Turkish government's nationalist agenda. While there have been plenty of papers written about Turkey's recent shift towards religious conservatism in stark contrast to the secular image that the Turkish elites have traditionally tried to perpetuate, fewer have explored the sociolinguistic aspects of this shift in the form of the dialogues that have started about the place of the Arabic and the Ottoman language in modern Turkish soci- ety.
