Yer adları, o bölgede yaşayan insanların hayat tarzlarını, hayata bakış açılarını bize göstermekle birlikte daha önce orada kimlerin yaşadığıyla ilgili de ipuçları verir. Anadolu’yu vatan edinen Türkler, bu coğrafyayı adlandırırken ya Türkçe yeni adlar vermişler ya da o bölgenin eski adını Türkçe söyleyişe uygun hâle getirmişlerdir. Anadolu sözcüğü bu Türkçe söyleyişe en güzel örnektir. Dikkati çeken bir diğer nokta Anadolu’nun her yanında ve dolayısıyla Ahlat’ta da yaygın görülen bulak’lı yer adlarıdır. Bu da bize insanların yerleştikleri yerlerde suyun olmasına çok önem verdiklerini gösterir. Eski bir yerleşim yeri olan Ahlat, pek çok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Farklı dillerin kullanılması adlandırmaları da çeşitli kılmıştır. Türklerin Anadolu’ya giriş kapısı olan Ahlat’ta bu çeşitliliği görmek mümkündür. Ahlat adının kaynağıyla ilgili birbirinden ayrı değerlendirmeler olsa da Arapça HLT kökünden gelmiş olması daha kuvvetli bir ihtimaldir. Çünkü karışık anlamına gelen ahlat sözcüğü o bölgede yaşayan milletlerin de çeşitliliğini göstermektedir. Ahlat’taki yer adlarına bakıldığında bu adların genellikle Türkçe olduğu görülür. Bunun yanında Ermenice sözcükler de önemli bir yer tutar. Bu durum bölgede 20. yüzyıl başlarına kadar hatırı sayılır bir Ermeni nüfusun yaşamasından kaynaklanmıştır. Ayrıca Türkçe-Arapça, Türkçe-Farsça ve Türkçe-Ermenice birleşik sözcükler de görülür. Bu çalışmamızda Ahlat Ağzı’nda geçen bu yer adları üzerinde durulacaktır.
The land names show us the lifestyle of people living in that area, the views of life, but also give clues about who lived there before. The Turks who took the country of Anadolu, when they named this geography, either gave Turkish new names or brought the old name of that area in accordance with the Turkish speech. The word Anadolu is the best example of this Turkish speech. Another point of attention is the land names with backs that are commonly seen throughout the Anadolu and therefore in Ahlat. This also shows us that people are very careful about the water in the places where they are located. Ahlat, an ancient settlement, has hosted many civilizations. The use of different languages has also made them different. It is possible to see this diversity in Ahlat, which is the entrance door of the Turks to Anadolu. Although there are distinct assessments about the source of the name Ahlat, it is more likely that it comes from the Arabic HLT root. Because the word morality that means mixed shows the diversity of the peoples living in that region. When you look at the land names in Ahlat, these names are usually Turkish. In addition, Armenian words hold an important place. This situation was due to the existence of a great number of Armenian populations in the region until the beginning of the 20th century. There are also combined Turkish-Arabic, Turkish-Persian and Turkish-Armenian words. In this work we will focus on the names of the place that passes through the Ahlat Mouth.
The names of the places give us clues about who lived around there before and also indicates the lifestyles of people with their point of view to the life. As the new settlers of Anatolia, The Turks have given new names or adapted the previous names of those areas into Turkish pronounciation during the process of naming this geograpy. The word ‘Anatolia’ is the best example of this adaptation. Another major point is the name of places including ‘bulak’ which are commonly seen all around Anatolia and also in Ahlat. This indicates that it is highly important for humans to have water in the location where they settle down. Ahlat, which is an old settlement, had hosted many civilizations. The usage of different languages had caused variety of namings. It is possible to see that variety in Ahlat, which is the entrance of the Turks into Anatolia. Although there are many different ideas about the source of Ahlat name, it is a strong possibility that it has derived from HLT in Arabic. Because the Ahlat word ,that means ‘mixed’, indicates the variety of nations who lives in that territory as well. The name of places in Ahlat is commonly in Turkish. Besides, Armenian words are also high in number. That is caused by a huge Armenian population who lived in this area until the beginnings of the 20th century. Furthermore; Turkish-Arabic, Turkish-Persian and Turkish-Armenian words are also common in use. In this study, those place names in Ahlat Dialect is going to be expounded.
