Ottoman Turkish language
In the Ottoman Turkish language, the structures of the poetic foot (تفعل "tef'ile") and of poetic metre (وزن "vezin") were imitated from Persian poetry. About twelve of the most common Persian metres were used for writing Turkish poetry. As was the case with Persian, no use at all was made of the commonest metres of Arabic poetry (the "tawīl", "basīt", "kāmil", and "wāfir"). However, the terminology used to describe the metres was indirectly borrowed from the Arabic poetic tradition through the medium of the Persian language.
