Abstract:

Turkish has been in interaction with various languages throughout history, be they are of same the language family or not, in terms of vocabulary and form. It is generally acknowledged that geographical, religious, political and commercial factors have been influential in the exchange of vocabulary. Numerous studies have so far been conducted with respect to words and forms that have entered Turkish from both Western and Eastern languages. Similarly, it is known that words and forms from Turkish have entered those languages and that various studies have been implemented in this regard. Italians came to Istanbul in the 10th century for both trade and missionary activities. The Italian language was praised and learned in the Ottoman state at least until the 18th century and took its place in the historical process of development of the Turkish language. It is known that Italians established the system Dil Oğlanları Okulu (Language Boys School) to teach Italian within the borders of the Ottoman state. In this study, an attempt will be made, on the basis of Turkish Loan Words, to shed light on in what periods words that had entered Italian from Turkish had done so and their journey and process in the course of time.
