Kadrî of Pergamon

Kadrî of Pergamon

Kadrî of Pergamon ( _tr. Bergamalı Kadrî), 16th century Turkish linguist, author of the first grammar book on Ottoman language.

Although not very much is known about the life of Kadrî, it is assumed that he was born in Bergama (Pergamon) and later moved to İstanbul. In İstanbul, around 1530-1531 (Hijri 937) he wrote "Müyessire el-'Ulûm", his famous work on the grammar of Turkish language. This work was the first work to deal with the grammar of Ottoman language. In addition, the fact that it actually covered all elementary grammar rules of the Turkish language structure made it an important work for history of Turkish language linguistics.
