Talk:Drogman

French-language direct. Has affinity with the late Ottoman Empire (Tanzimat until 1923) due to the fact the empire used French at that time to address foreign residents. Also French was the pan-Christian/Jewish language and a common language of the educated. See Languages of the Ottoman Empire and Johann Strauss's works used as sources.

Also legal literature aimed at West Europeans about the empire at the time used French, not English. The source of this redirect was a book about Ottoman law written in French, by an Englishman, and published by Oxford University in the UK.
