Özet:

 This study highlights that Algeria was connected to the Ottoman Empire for more than three centuries and was considered one of the most important Maghreb provinces due to its significant location and historical reference. It was the most targeted Mediterranean point on the southern shore, particularly by the Spaniards. Thanks to its inclusion, the Ottomans later managed to annex the provinces of Tripoli and Tunisia. It is no wonder that its capital, Algiers, was characterized by attributes such as House of Jihad and Little Istanbul, among others. This study will likely employ a multidisciplinary approach combining historical and sociolinguistic methodologies. The Ottoman presence had a clear impact on the political, economic, social, and cultural fabric of Algerian civil society, and the direct interaction between the two parties resulted in the generation of hybrid linguistic expressions. This was due not only to direct linguistic contact but also to the accumulation of terms and expressions in political, administrative, and economic contexts that the Algerians were not accustomed to hearing prior to the arrival of the Barbarossa brothers and the establishment of political dependency over the Zayyanid Algeria at the beginning of the 16th century. In addition, the study aims to show the significant impact of Ottoman Turkish on Algerian society during the long period of Ottoman rule. This language spread widely in various aspects of daily life, supported by Ottoman language policies and the cultural interaction between the two peoples. This dissemination left a deep impact on the Algerian language and culture, and even after the end of Ottoman rule, there are still clear traces of this language in the collective memory of the Algerians.

 Bu çalışma, Cezayirin üç yüzyıldan fazla bir süre Osmanlı İmparatorluğuna bağlı kaldığını ve önemli konumu ve tarihi referansları nedeniyle en önemli Mağrip vilayetlerinden biri olarak kabul edildiğini vurgulamaktadır. Özellikle İspanyollar tarafından Akdenizin güney kıyısında en çok hedef alınan noktaydı. Osmanlılar daha sonra Trablusgarp ve Tunus vilayetlerini ilhak etmeyi başarmışlardır. Başkent Cezayirin Cihat Evi ve Küçük İstanbul gibi sıfatlarla nitelendirilmesi şaşırtıcı değildir. Bu çalışmada tarihsel ve sosyodilbilimsel metodolojileri birleştiren multidisipliner bir yaklaşım kullanılacaktır. Osmanlı varlığının Cezayir sivil toplumunun siyasi, ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel dokusu üzerinde açık bir etkisi olmuş ve iki taraf arasındaki doğrudan etkileşim melez dilsel ifadelerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bunun nedeni sadece doğrudan dilsel temas değil, aynı zamanda siyasi, idari ve ekonomik bağlamlarda, Barbaros kardeşlerin gelişinden ve 16. yüzyılın başında Zeyyani Cezayiri üzerinde siyasi bağımlılık kurulmasından önce Cezayirlilerin duymaya alışık olmadıkları terim ve ifadelerin birikmesidir.Ayrıca çalışma, Osmanlı egemenliğinin uzun süresi boyunca Osmanlı Türkçesinin Cezayir toplumu üzerindeki önemli etkisini göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu dil, Osmanlı dil politikaları ve iki halk arasındaki kültürel etkileşim tarafından desteklenerek günlük yaşamın çeşitli yönlerinde geniş çapta yayılmıştır. Bu yayılma Cezayir dili ve kültürü üzerinde derin bir etki bırakmıştır ve Osmanlı egemenliğinin sona ermesinden sonra bile Cezayirlilerin kolektif hafızasında bu dilin belirgin izleri hala mevcuttur.
