As it is known, Turks have used different alphabets throughout their history. The most commonly known ones are Gokturk, Uyghur and Arabic alphabets. During the Ottoman Empire, the official language of the state was Turkish. The Ottoman Turkish Alphabet consists of 36 letters, but there are 14 letters that need to be learned by grouping. This alphabet consists of the Arabic alphabet (28 letters) and letters taken from Persian and Turkish.
During the Ottoman Empire, Turkish became a widely used language in three continents (Asia-Europe-Africa). In order to get to know the Ottoman cultural heritage assets more closely, it is necessary to know a little bit of Ottoman Turkish, which is a blend of three languages (Turkish-Arabic-Persian). Therefore, this course can be a starting point for those who wish to do so. During trips within or outside the country, reading even a few words, if not the entire text, of the inscriptions of old historical monuments in the Ottoman geography (such as fountains, public fountains, mosques, tombs, inns, baths) gives great excitement and happiness to the reader. |
