In this period, the language of education and instructionwas an important issue in the studies conducted for the dissemination of educational institutions throughout the country. In addition to ArabicLanguage, the necessity of learning western languages emerged from the times when the Ottoman Empire's relations with the western stateshad begun to gain tractionowing to political developments.
