Course Objectives: After accepting Islam, Turks have started using Arab alphabet for a thousand years until the acceptance of Latin alphabet (1928). Ottomans wrote many historical, literal, legal, architectural and other documents in this writing system called Ottoman Turkish. Thus, there is a rich cultural treasure comprising of “manuscript”, “printed work” and “archieve document”. It is necessary to learn this alphabet for the one who wants to meet Ottoman culture and civilization directly. Ottoman period is Turkish language’s real peak. In this period, in equilibrum with state’s political power, it has become a langauge that is used commonly in three continents. There might be new areas of interest for the ones who are going to be acquainted with this “imperial language”.
