[edit] Comments

The firman of 13 May 1277 quoted in this article is suspect. The date is plausible, but the reference to “parliament” is anachronistic. Can we find a more authoritative source for the quote? Aramgar 13:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I understand that in his capacity as the vezir to the pretender Jimri, Karamanoğlu Mehmet Bey instituted the use of the Turkish language in the chancellory; but this anachronistic quote must be sourced or removed. Aramgar (talk) 03:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish Language???

how is it possible to use a language that majority cannot speak? It was not Turkish but Oguz(as the speakers name their language and nation) and until Mehmet II of ottomans brought some uighur translators from bukhara almost no one was able to speak Turkish, what today we call Chagatay Turkish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.100.176.216 (talk) 10:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
