Ottoman Turkish, called simply Osmanlica in Turkish, gradually absorbed a great many Arabic and Persian words and even grammatical forms and was written in Arabic script.
Ottoman Turkish today cannot be understood by the modern Turkish people of Turkey. It was a whole new language.
The whole reason we have new modern Turkish, is because Ataturk wanted to purge out all the arabic and persian words and somehow go back to the Pre ottoman times Turkish, since the father of Modern Turkish people didn't accept Ottoman as a Turkish language, I think you will find you are mistaken.
I think you will find you don't know jack shit about this matter.

The name of the language is Ottoman Turkish in litterateur.

"Ottoman Language" in Google = 27,900 Results

While "Ottoman Turkish Language" = 370,000 Results

You should know a language doesn't become something else when it's written in a certain script (even if it cannot be read by people who don't know that script), unless you are as stupid as to think modern Turkish is a Latin language.

Turks, like everyone else, know this; the reason why they/we call it "Osmanlıca" is for the sake of simplicity.

I fail to see how Bosnians, Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, etc etc have a Historic and Linguistic connection to the T’u-chüeh.
Now, you are either dim witted, or ill intentioned, or perhaps both.

Turks aren't Bosnians, Kurds, Armenians or Greeks, Turks are Turks. And they have as much to with their ancient counterparts as any of these people you listed.

Now, some ethnic Turks can have non-Turkish/Turkic ancestry to a degree, but their situation is exactly the same as ethnic Bosnians who have non-Bosnian/Slavic ancestry, or Kurds who have non-Kurdish/Iranic one and so fucking on.
