Abstract

Introduction The numerous traces of the Turkish language in both written and colloquial Arabic are mainly the result of the rule of the Ottoman Empire over all re­ gions of the Arabic speaking world except Morocco for half a millenium or more. Indeed, contacts between the Turkic languages and Arabic go back to the 9th century, and were particularly close in Egypt from the 13th to the 16th centuries during the reign of the Mamluk sultans, who were mainly Kipchak Turks.
