TÜRKOLOG MILAN ADAMOVIĆ’İN TÜRKÇE TASNİFİ
TURKOLOGIST MILAN ADAMOVIĆ’S CLASSIFICATION OF TURKISH

Summary/Abstract: Turkologist Milan Adamovic, in his associate professorship study titled Konjugationsgeschichte der Türkischen Sprache (= Verb Conjugation History of the Turkish Language) published in 1985, classified Turkish in Anatolia, which has been going on since the first works of Turkish to the present day, by dividing it into five periods on the basis of linguistic characteristics. The first two periods, which we call Old Anatolian Turkish, are the period when the folk language, the spoken language and the written language are closest to each other. The third period is the period when the Ottoman Principality became stronger and the folk language began to dominate. In Istanbul, which was the center of the language in the following periods, Turkish was first established under the influence of the Balkan dialect and started to change with the increase in the number of people coming from Anatolia over time. Since the end of the 19th century, changes in the written language have increased. Although all periods are important in terms of the development of the language, the first and second periods, especially Old Anatolian Turkish, are examined in detail in the article.
