It is, however, a rich and ancient poetic tradition that lasted for nearly 700 years, and one whose influence can still—to some extent—be felt in the modern Turkish poetic tradition.Even in modern Turkey, however, Ottoman Divan poetry is a highly specialist subject. Much of this has to do with the fact that Divan poetry is written in Ottoman Turkish, which was written using a variant of the Arabic script and contained vast amounts of foreign Arabic and Persian words, and is as vastly different from the modern Turkish language of today as it was from the standard spoken Turkish of its own day (which resembled modern Turkish more than it did Ottoman Turkish, which was largely limited to court and legal use)."@en }
