Turkish is an ancient language originating from Central Asia, with the written language going back 1,200 years. It spread across the world due to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, and Ottoman Turkish was the administrative and literary language of this dominion. However, in an attempt to align the Republic of Turkey with the Western powers, in 1928, Ataturk’s reforms changed the structure of the language, replacing the Ottoman script that had been used for centuries with a Latin alphabet. In addition, Arabic and Persian words that had become part of Turkish vocabulary were cut from the language in favor of words with native Turkic roots.
