Talk:Djem. II

Notes: Older literature before World War I focusing on Ottoman law used Turkish names. Also while this is an abbreviation of a French spelling, French has affinity with the late Ottoman Empire, post-Tanzimat until 1923, as the Christians/Jews and educated people used it as a common language and the Ottoman authorities used French to inteact with foreigners. Books on Ottoman law aimed at Western Europeans/Westerners used French, as seen by the Young source. See Languages of the Ottoman Empire and Johann Strauss's underlying sources. Also note that this 1900s Ottoman law volume, used as a source, is made by an Englishman and published in the UK by Oxford Uni, but was written in French; this was done for a reason.
