As Istanbul Rumeli University, we highlight the richness and strength of our Turkish language on Turkish Language Day, celebrated on September 26. This special day, enthusiastically celebrated nationwide, aims to raise awareness about the preservation, development, and proper use of our language through various events. Commemorating the anniversary of the First Turkish Language Congress held in 1932, it holds great significance for the future transmission of our language.
Turkish has a deep history that stretches from Central Asia to Anatolia, reflecting our nation's identity and culture. Turkish Language Day provides an opportunity to explore the subtleties and beauties of our language while emphasizing our responsibility to protect it. Conferences, panels, poetry readings, composition competitions, and quizzes held in universities, schools, and cultural centers address both historical and contemporary issues of our language.
Events organized under the auspices of the Turkish Language Institution promote the correct use of Turkish while reaching broad audiences through media. Public concerts, language festivals, and events organized by municipalities raise societal awareness. Cultural activities like book fairs, reading events, and author talks celebrate the beauty of our language, while social media and digital platforms play an active role in conveying its importance to younger generations.
On this meaningful day, we aim to create awareness about using our language correctly and effectively, instill language consciousness in our students, and contribute to the future of Turkish. Preserving the purity and beauty of Turkish is more important now than ever. We invite all our students and the community to explore the richness of Turkish and give it the value it deserves.
