Çelebi (title)
Çelebi (IPA: /t͡ʃelebi/) is a Turkish title meaning "gentleman", "well-mannered" or "courteous". ''Çelebi'' also means “man of God”, as a ''i''-suffixed derivative from ''çalab'' (IPA /t͡ʃalab/), which means "God" in old Turkish. German linguist and Turkologist Marcel Erdal, citing Baron Tiesenhausen, traces ''çalab'' back to Arabic djellaba "importer, trader, merchant" > "high social positions"; ''jallāb'' is derived from root ''j-l-b'' "to have brought, to import", ultimately from West Semitic root ''g-l-b'' "to catch, to fetch". Notable people with the title include: * The sons of Ottoman sultan Bayezid I, who fought one another for the throne in the Ottoman Interregnum of 1402 to 1413: ** İsa Çelebi (1380–1406) ** Musa Çelebi (died 1413) ** Mehmed Çelebi (1390–1421), who won the civil war, being crowned sultan Mehmed I ** Mustafa Çelebi (1393–1422) ** Süleyman Çelebi (1377–1411) * Ali Çelebi: see Kınalızâde Ali Çelebi * Aşık Çelebi (1520– ...

Old Anatolian Turkish
Old Anatolian Turkish (OAT, tr, Eski Anadolu Türkçesi, ''EAT'') is the stage in the history of the Turkish language spoken in Anatolia from the 11th to 15th centuries. It developed into Early Ottoman Turkish. It was written in the Arabic script. Unlike in later Ottoman Turkish, short-vowel diacritics were used. It had no official status until 1277, when Mehmet I of Karaman declared a firman in an attempt to break the supremacy, dominance and popularity of Persian: , : , :''From now on nobody in the palace, in the divan, council and on travels should speak any language other than Turkish.'' History It has been erroneously assumed that the Old Anatolian Turkish literary language was created in Anatolia and that its authors transformed a primitive language into a literary medium by submitting themselves to Persian influence. In reality, the Oghuz Turks who came to Anatolia brought their own written language, literary traditions and models from Khwarezm and Transoxiana. ...

In Islamic cultures of the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily and South Asia, a Diwan ( fa, دیوان, ''divân'', ar, ديوان, ''dīwān'') is a collection of poems by one author, usually excluding his or her long poems ( mathnawī). The vast majority of Diwan poetry was lyric in nature: either ghazals or ''gazel''s (which make up the greatest part of the repertoire of the tradition), or ''kasîde''s. There were, however, other common genres, most particularly the ''mesnevî'', a kind of verse romance and thus a variety of narrative poetry; the two most notable examples of this form are the ''Layla and Majnun'' (ليلى و مجنون) of Fuzûlî and the ''Hüsn ü Aşk'' (حسن و عشق; "Beauty and Love") of Şeyh Gâlib. Originating in Persian literature, the idea spread to the Arab and Turkish worlds, and South Asia, and the term was sometimes used in Europe, not always in the same way.
