The Ottoman Turkish and its Sphere of Influence in Ottoman Algeria

Abstract

This study highlights that Algeria was connected to the Ottoman Empire for more than three centuries and was considered one of the most important Maghreb provinces due to its significant location and historical reference. It was the most targeted Mediterranean point on the southern shore, particularly by the Spaniards. Thanks to its inclusion, the Ottomans later managed to annex the provinces of Tripoli and Tunisia. It is no wonder that its capital, Algiers, was characterized by attributes such as "House of Jihad" and "Little Istanbul," among others. This study will likely employ a multidisciplinary approach combining historical and sociolinguistic methodologies. The Ottoman presence had a clear impact on the political, economic, social, and cultural fabric of Algerian civil society, and the direct interaction between the two parties resulted in the generation of hybrid linguistic expressions. This was due not only to direct linguistic contact but also to the accumulation of terms and expressions in political, administrative, and economic contexts that the Algerians were not accustomed to hearing prior to the arrival of the Barbarossa brothers and the establishment of political dependency over the Zayyanid Algeria at the beginning of the 16th century. In addition, the study aims to show the significant impact of Ottoman Turkish on Algerian society during the long period of Ottoman rule. This language spread widely in various aspects of daily life, supported by Ottoman language policies and the cultural interaction between the two peoples. This dissemination left a deep impact on the Algerian language and culture, and even after the end of Ottoman rule, there are still clear traces of this language in the collective memory of the Algerians.
