Abstract

The Hatt-ı Sherif of Gülhâne (Imperial Decree of the Rose Chamber) is the confirmation of the impact of Western influence in social and political realms to the Ottomans. The influence of French culture and literature on Turkish culture and literature up to the present has been analyzed and studied from various perspectives. However, the Encumen-i Danis has not drawn the attention of researches perhaps due to its short existence. In this study L'Académie française or the French Academy that acted as an official authority on the French language, and the Encumen-i Danis is juxtaposed, their emphasis on mother tongue is analyzed.
