Sadık Albayrak’s masterpiece unveiled: Kurdish grammar book offers intellectual roadmap

WISE NEWS PRESS / ISTANBUL, TÜRKİYE — JANUARY 05, 2026

As the West-centric global order dissolves into a multipolar future, the monumental series "Late Ottoman Ulema" by thinker and author Sadık Albayrak emerges not just as a historical record, but as an intellectual compass for the 21st century. Albayrak’s work highlights the resurgence of Türkiye’s magnificent history, neutralizing ideological barriers and reviving the treasures of a universal civilization once abandoned to dusty archives.

The series advocates for a New Türkiye that finds its essence not through Western liberal frameworks, but by reconnecting with its own value systems and its historical relationship with the Islamic world. By centering cities like Istanbul, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Erbil over Western capitals, Albayrak illustrates a roadmap for regional and global influence based on justice, knowledge, and wisdom.

Scientific Contribution to a "Terror-Free Türkiye"

The 9-volume encyclopedia, titled Son Devir Osmanlı Uleması/İlmiye Ricâlinin Terâcim-i Ahvâli, originally published in 1980-81 and re-released in March 2024, serves as a strategic pillar for the "Terror-Free Türkiye" project. By documenting the lives and works of thousands of scholars from three continents—spanning from the Balkans to North Africa and the Caucasus—Albayrak showcases the "unity within diversity" that defined the Ottoman social fabric. This historical richness provides the necessary cultural leaven to solve contemporary sociological and political challenges.

A Breakthrough Discovery: Kavâid-i Lisân-ı Kürdî

A centerpiece of Albayrak’s recent discovery within the fourth volume is the original 47-page work titled Kavâid-i Lisân-ı Kürdî (Rules of the Kurdish Language). Authored by Harputlu Ömer Avni Efendi in 1901 and printed in 1912, this comparative Kurdish-Ottoman grammar book was designed as a textbook for military middle school students.

The unveiling of this work has caused a significant stir in intellectual circles, being hailed as a scientific contribution to national unity. It demonstrates that over a century ago, the Ottoman state integrated Kurdish language education into its formal military curriculum, reflecting a sophisticated understanding of cultural diversity and administrative integration.

Architect of the "Silent Revolution"

Sadık Albayrak is recognized as an intellectual architect of the cultural infrastructure that paved the way for modern Türkiye’s strategic rise. His life’s work serves to prove that the solutions to today’s crises can be found in the "dough" of the Ottoman tradition. This universal "asabiya" (social cohesion) is described as the locomotive force that will allow New Türkiye to advance toward its global objectives with confidence and historical legitimacy.
