Karamanlı Turkish is both a form of written Turkish, and a dialect of
Turkish
spoken by the
Karamanlides
, a community of Turkish-speaking
Orthodox Christians
in
Ottoman
Turkey. While the official Ottoman Turkish was written in the
Arabic script
, the Karamanlides used the
Greek alphabet
for writing its form of Turkish. Such texts are called Karamanlidika (Καραμανλήδικα / Καραμανλήδεια γραφή) or Karamanlı Turkish today. Karamanlı Turkish had its own literary tradition and produced numerous published works in print in the 19th century, some of them published by Evangelinos Misailidis, by the Anatoli or Misailidis publishing house (Misailidis 1986, p. 134).
Karamanlı writers and speakers were expelled from Turkey as part of the
Greek-Turkish population exchange
of 1923. Some speakers preserved their language in the diaspora. The writing form stopped being used immediately after the Turkish state adopted the Latin alphabet.
