Turkey marks 94th anniversary of Language Day

September 26 marks the 94th anniversary of Language Day, commemorating the first Turkish Language Congress initiated by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk to carry out the Language Revolution.

Historical discussions surrounding the Turkish Language Association (TDK) highlight its evolution from an association established in 1932 to a state institution. The anniversary serves as a reflection on the preservation of the linguistic reforms and the challenges faced by standardized Turkish spelling and grammar over the decades.
