@jcyyl: it’s really interesting how my grandma actually shares her name and you can see the ottoman influence in her life. she speaks fluent turkish and even has an ottoman-style name. although she was born after the empire ended, her family traditions were shaped by the cultural legacy of the ottomans. her life revolved around lands that were once under ottoman rule and that history is still reflected in who she is today. she even chose my name, which is turkish. #neslişahsultan #ottoman #History #ottomanempire #turkishhistory
