👉 The Turkish Project, officially known as the "Turkish Language Reform" or "Türk Dil Gyası," is a comprehensive initiative launched in 1933 to modernize and purify the Turkish language. It aimed to replace many Arabic and Persian loanwords with Turkish equivalents, simplifying the language's structure and vocabulary to make it more accessible and reflective of Turkish culture and identity. Key measures included the creation of a new alphabet based on Latin script, the standardization of grammar rules, and the establishment of linguistic academies to oversee language usage. This project significantly influenced Turkish literature, education, and daily communication, fostering a sense of national unity and linguistic pride.
