Abstract :Ottoman poets, inspired by the profound influence of Ali Şir Nevayi, composed numerous poems in Chagatai Turkish. However, despite these poems reflecting characteristics of Eastern Turkic, the poets could not completely detach themselves from the influence of their own literary language, Ottoman Turkish. As a result, elements unique to Ottoman Turkish found their way into their works. It is evident that Ottoman poets, even while crafting poems that adhered to the features of Chagatai Turkish, were significantly influenced by their native literary tradition. This influence manifested in the incorporation of distinct elements of Oghuz Turkish, the linguistic foundation of Ottoman Turkish, into their Chagatai poems. These poets, whether consciously or unconsciously, blended the stylistic and grammatical traits of their familiar linguistic framework with those of Chagatai Turkish, resulting in a unique and hybrid literary expression. One notable example of such poets is Seydi Ali Reis, whose works exemplify the profound interplay between Chagatai Turkish and Ottoman Turkish. As an Ottoman poet and naval officer, Seydi Ali Reis composed numerous poems in Chagatai Turkish. However, his poems are heavily influenced by the linguistic and stylistic characteristics of Ottoman Turkish, reflecting the pervasive impact of his native literary tradition. This article delves into the Ottoman Turkish elements present in Seydi Ali Reis’ Chagatai poems, providing a detailed analysis of the ways in which his works diverge from traditional Chagatai norms. By examining these features, the article highlights the dynamic interaction between the two Turkic languages and sheds light on the unique literary identity shaped by Seydi Ali Reis.
