Özet:

Language, comes at the beginning of the most mysterious tools of mankind. Language ensures the uninterrupted continuation of the communication although it is constantly exposed to multiple transformations of the infinite perception and endless interaction over time. In the dilemma of strong-weak and administrator-the managed, the Language also plays its role; transferring information from top to bottom and from administrator to the being administered. The receiving side inverts and makes the acquired words so self-owned that, after some time, only specialists can figure out that they are not their own. Turks have reached the Balkans many times throughout history in many ways. But of course they left the deepest traces during the Ottoman domination. These traces continue witnessing in the dictionaries of Balkan Languages till today. However, every word has preferred to live in different forms, different sounds and different means than they were came from. In this study, we will focus on the changes in word meanings we gave to the Bulgarian language, which we longest co-lived among the Balkan nations. This study has been compiled based on the data in the “Verintiler Sözlüğü” (dictionary of words exported) of Günay Karaağaç
