    It sounds like modern Turkish with additional Arabic, Persian and old Turkic words to make the language cooler. Now Turkish people use less of these words and added Latin-French words.

    That one is understandable and „poetic“ Turkish. I read Ottoman Turkish textes where i understand nearly nothing.

    There is a reason for why its called Divan language its well balanced in vocabulary and it sounds very cool but the use of the foreign words were a mistake in my humble opinion

    What about the sound of it does it sound harsh ? good ? melodic ? exotic ? cool ? do you sense anything similar to your own language ? (I believe any Turkish user would agree with me that understanding this is harder and the vocabulary is very old)

    I even would support a new language revolution, still too much Arabic.

    It was not regular Ottoman Turkish but an adventitious language of poets, which was alien even for that period’s people so we shouldn’t count it.

    "Divan language is mostly used by Pashas, Viziers and Sultan himself but its only used as a writing language speaking this language would meant they were flexing their "Edebiyat"(literature) knowledge"


    Imagine a Sultan speaking to the villagers with this language would the villagers understand him ?
    Definitely No

    As you can see from the archives Turkey has this language is commonly used for letters or archives people didnt speak this language
