Ah yes, the leather chair empire
Became rotissery chicken land.
As I understand it they prefer to be called the “Republic of Rötisseriye” these days.
I wonder how many furniture stores there are in the world with the name Ottoman Empire.
I recently found out that when the Ottoman Empire collapsed and they became Turkiye, they removed all the Persian and Arabic words from the Turkish language.
Imagine if after Brexit the English removed all the German and French words from their language.
I think English would break. It’s like half German derived words and half French/Romance language words wrapped in a Germanic grammatical structure.
