Köprülü family
The Köprülü family was a noble family of Albanian origin in the Ottoman Empire.
The family provided six grand viziers( including Kara Mustafa Pasha, who was a stepson), with several others becoming high- ranking officers.
The era during which these grand viziers served is known as the" Köprülü era" of the Ottoman Empire.
Another notable member of the family was Köprülü Abdullah Pasha( 1684 – 1735), who was a general in Ottoman- Persian wars of his time and acted as the governor in several provinces of the empire.
Modern descendants include Mehmet Fuat Köprülü, a prominent historian of Turkish literature.
Members of the family continue to live in Turkey and the United States.
Mehmet Fuat Köprülü
Mehmet Fuat Köprülü( December 5, 1890 – June 28, 1966), also known as Köprülüzade Mehmed Fuad, was a highly influential Turkish sociologist, turkologist, scholar, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey.
A descendant of the illustrious noble Albanian Köprülü family, whose influence in shaping Ottoman history between 1656 and 1711 surpassed even that of the House of Osman, Fuat Köprülü was a key figure in the intersection of scholarship and politics in early 20th century Turkey.
Firman of Karamanoğlu Mehmet Bey
Mehmet Bey's firman was the decree of Mehmet I of Karaman( Karamanoğlu Mehmet), a vizier of Suljuks, declaring that the official language of Seljuks was Turkish.
Mehmet Beg or Mehmet Bey of Karaman, also known as Shams al- Din Mehmed Beg was the third ruler of the Karamanids.
His father was Karaman Bey.
Mehmet Fuat Köprülü suggested that the government officials, who had been educated under the influence of the Persian culture, had used the Persian language in their state's official business, and this strong compulsion of using Persian as official language had lasted until the Karamanids lord Mehmed Bey's invasion of Konya.
Agop Dilaçar, who is known for his works on the Sun Language Theory, claimed that Mehmed Bey might have declared Turkish the official language of the state.
According to Dilaçar, in his firman dated 13 May( 15 May?)
1277, he ordered that" from that day forward, in the council, in the dervish lodge, in the court, in the assembly, in the square, no language but Turkish should be spoken".
Before him, the Seljuq elite in Anatolia used Persian in literature and Arabic in government and science.
The Turkmen, however, could not understand these languages.
After his failed rebellion in Ankara, Mehmet Bey died in a conflict against Seljuq- Mongol troops.
