Principles to be Followed in Transliteration Texts

a) In printed texts after the Tanzimat:

1. In such texts, transliteration, or in other words, “lightened transcription” is applied, not scientific transcription. The concept of "transcription" to be used from now on is to reflect all the letters, including the letters that are not used in Turkish, with another alphabet; transliteration, on the other hand, describes transferring without any simplification while preserving the integrity of the word.

2. All long syllables should be written with the letters â, û, î. Ex. dominance; ruberu; cerîde … For the long a sound in words that should be read bold and may cause confusion, the spelling of "ā" can be preferred to prevent this situation. Ex. Gāzī; comparison; tekābül, kānûn… This will also prevent reading mistakes in Arabic and Persian words with similar spellings. Ex. As in the words “kānûn” meaning “law” and “İkincikânûn” (Kânûnisânî) meaning “January”…

3. The original sounds of the words should be preserved, the mitigation in transcription should be limited to orthography. Ex. Aptülhak Hamid ( – ) → Abdülhak Hamid ( + )

4. İSAM in DİA and MEB in writing Arabic compositions. The spelling rules adopted in the Encyclopedia of Islam should be applied. Ex. Muhîtü'l-Maârif; Muînü'd-dawla …

5. In Persian compositions, the compound hyphen should be written each time. Ex. State-i Aliyya; Hüsn-i muâmele, manager-i umûmî … The composition –i in Persian compositions should not be written as “-ü”. Ex. director-u general ( – ); husn-i muâmele ( – ); umûr-u mâliye ( – ) → umûr-ı mâliye ( + ) … The “ü”s corresponding to the word “and” are preserved as they are and are written without being concatenated with the word before and after it.

6. In Ottoman printed texts, the names of persons and cities belonging to the Western area are usually written as they are read. In the transcription of a post-Tanzimat text, such words should be written in accordance with the orthography of the original language. Ex. “The letter sent by the French staying in Egypt to the General Manager of Public Finance (…)” ( – ). “The letter sent by the French who stayed in Egypt to umûr-ı mâliye manager-i umûmîsi Poussielque (…)” ( + ) The use of Turkish is taken as the basis for the names of foreign places and persons that are widely used in Turkish.

7. Masdar-ı ca'lîs should be written with a double y except for the ones written with a single y because it is frequently used in today's Turkish. Ex. Osmaniye; Culusiyya; personal … Favorites eg. Navy; Property…

8. Words ending with Nisbet –î should be written as “î” in order not to be confused with infinitives when the Turkish noun becomes –e, but this orthography should not be used in infinitives: Ex. “According to Âmâl-i milliye …” (Here the -ye at the end of the word milli indicates the -i form of the noun). “According to Âmâl-i milliyeye …” (“Âmâl-i Milliyeye” spelling is incorrect).

9. The words and proper names that are intended to be emphasized in the printed works in Ottoman Turkish are mostly emphasized by placing them in parentheses. Today, however, it is preferred to emphasize it by enclosing it in double quotes. From this perspective; a) If there is only one (or several) words that need to be emphasized, they should be written in quotation marks instead of parentheses. Ex. “(…) their namesake (Nizâm-i Cedid) have been declared.” ( – ) “(…) their names as “Nizâm-i Cedîd” have been declared.” ( + ) b) If it is a book title that is desired to be emphasized, only italicization is sufficient for emphasis. Ex. “Tameşvarî (Hadîkatü'ş-Şu'arâ ) / “Hadîkatü'ş-Şu'arâ” in his work-i bîhemta (…)” ( – ). “Tameşvarî Hadikatü'ş-Şu'arânâm in his work-i bî-hemta (…)” ( + ). c) Since there is no distinction between upper and lower case letters in the Ottoman alphabet, there is no need for special emphasis in the form of quotation marks in the names of individuals, institutions or places; Capital letters are sufficient. Ex. “The Master of Shaykh al-Islam (Munir Efendi) was also summoned and brought to the scene.” ( – ) “The Master of Shaykh al-Islam, Münîr Efendi, was also summoned and brought into existence.” ( + ) Therefore, in such cases, parentheses used in texts written in Ottoman Turkish should not be used at all. Of course, parentheses will be used in sentences or word groups that are explanation and additional information.

10. The translations of the sentences quoted from languages other than Turkish in the main text should be included in the text, and if necessary, their original spellings should be given in footnotes before the source information.

11. The spelling of Persian words that are not used in today's Turkish should be based on Turkish pronunciation, as in those used today. Ex. nohoft ( – ) → nühüft ( +); dovom ( – ) → dowm ( +) …

12. The common Turkish pronunciation should be taken as a basis in the writing of all kinds of Arabic words in a printed text in Ottoman Turkish. Ex. Rasul ( – ) → Rasul; a'yân → âyân …

13. The letter ayn, which is a sound peculiar to Arabic words, should not be reflected in spelling unless it causes confusion of meaning or reading error.

14. Apostrophes and hyphens that will be used in Arabic and Persian compositions, which have become names or are used so often, should be removed since the printed texts after the Tanzimat will be based on transliteration rather than transcription. Ex. Abdul Hamid ( – ) → Abdulhamid ( + ) Kanun-i sani ( – ) → Kanunisani ( + ); Teşrîn-i sânî ( – ) → Teşrînîsanî (+); Rebîü'l-evvel → Rebîü'l-evvel Cemâziye'l-ahir → Cemâziyelâhir; Zi'l-ka'de → Zilkāde Şeyhü'l-İslâm ( – ) → Şeyhülislâm ( + ) etc.

15. Although the letter b is generally used in Ottoman texts and the letters c and d in some other words are used at the end of Turkish words, especially words with verb origin, p, ç, t-shaped hard consonants should be used in transliteration studies. Again, especially in verb-origin words, as a continuation of the Old Turkish pronunciation in the Anatolian field, the “ü” sounds, “i”, “ı” sounds, which are reflected in the Ottoman orthography, should be corrected according to phonetic harmony; The sound, which is also called the closed letter e and is usually written with the letter "i", should be written with the letter "e".

Ex. idub ( – ) → idb ( + ); put ( – ) → put ( + ); bitub ( – ) → end ( + ); for ( – ) → for ( + ); tree ( – ) → tree ( + ); valiant → ( – ) valiant ( +); gate ( – ) → gate ( + ) …

b) Writing after the Tanzimat In archive documents: Scientific transcription method is applied in such texts. c) In pre-Tanzimat printed or manuscript texts: The scientific transcription method applied in ISAM DIA and MEB Encyclopedia of Islam should have been used while the transcriptions of such works were being prepared. If there is any incompatibility between these two Encyclopedias, DIA is taken as the basis. When proposing the publication of a pre-Tanzimat text to the institution, the letters specific to the transcription alphabet should be listed at the beginning of the work; Throughout the text, this alphabet should be taken as a basis, especially in the writing of the letters that are not found in Turkish.
d) Russian, Bulgarian, Greek etc. transliteration should be used in different languages, the transfer of words should be according to Turkish pronunciation.
