Turkish Military Terms in Arabic Language

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of Turkish loan-words entered into the language of Arabs, and particularly the military terms.

They are names of everyday household goods, place-names instruments, words meaning kindred, etc. Among them a notable place are occupied by the military terms.
