Üç Yüzyıl Öncesinin Türkçesiyle Yazıya Geçirilmiş, Bilinen İlk Türkçe-İngilizce Diyalog

a grammar of the turkish language, thomas vaughan adındaki bir ingiliz tüccarın kaleme aldığı ingilizce basılmış ilk türkçe gramer kitabıdır. kapağındaki bilgilere göre vaughan izmir'de tüccarlık yapmış, kitabı ise 1709 yılında londra'da yayınlamıştır. eserde, önce türk dilinin grameri incelenir; ardından, bildiğim kadarıyla, anadolu türkçesinin ilk olarak latin harfleriyle yazıldığı örnek diyaloglara geçilir. vaughan'ın dilbilimci olmamasının getirdiği her zaman birbirini tutmayan imlayı, özgünlük bozulmasın diye, hiç değiştirmeden bıraktım.
