Cities of Poems in Turkish Language outside Turkey

When we look at the map of Turkish poets outside of Turkey, the concentrations are in the Balkans and Caucasus regions.

Within the definition of the Caucasus, there is Iran, and in the east, in the east Turkestan oases, groups of poets stand out, with the city of Turfan in the far east.

There is a sparse distribution image in Asia.

In the Balkan peninsula, which appears to be a settlement between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and in the north of the Black Sea, in the Crimea, as well as in the western coasts and hinterland of the Caucasus, poets have been concentrated in the eastern Mediterranean coast, along the line starting from Cairo to the Turkish border.

The coastal lines have mostly hosted poets.

It is essential to examine Turkish poetry in terms of the geographies we have left traces in the world.

Since the subject has been reduced to the geography of Turkey, it remains barren, and thus the concept of Turkish remains abstract, so I pursued this subject.

Various studies were carried out on the poems written in the historical period. Starting from Aprincor Tigin, there are many sources on the Uyghur, Karahanlı, Khwarezm, Çağatay and Ottoman fields. New Turkish Literature experts can give better information about contemporary Turkish poetry. (Prof Ali Akar)

It is important to move through the cities. Eventually, a map will appear. I could not find a source among doctoral theses. The most comprehensive source is the Dictionary of Turkish Literature Names.

Divan, minstrel, dervish lodge tradition and modern Turkish literature after Tanzimat have been dealt with completely. The names of the Old Uyghur, Karahanlı, Khwarezm-Kipchak, Çağatay and Azeri fields were also included.

The language was taken as a basis in the determination of the names to be included in the Poetic Cities scope, and the representatives who wrote their works in Arabic and Persian were excluded, except for a few names that deeply influenced Turkish literature, such as Mevlânâ.

Turkish Literature Dictionary of Names Project (TEIS) covers poets and writers of Turkish literature from the beginning to the 21st century (born in 1985).

I created a ranking of the poets outside of Turkey on the basis of cities, from largest to smallest. Our poetry map as the continents of Asia, Rumelia and Africa

These results were very interesting for me.

The traditions of the poets scattered in 218 settlements on the basis of cities

Poets who wrote in Turkish outside of Turkey. Pech (Hungary) in the west, Turfan (East Turkestan – China) in the east, Kazan (Tatarstan – Russia) in the north, Mecca-Taif (Arabia) in the south

• Pecs-Turfan: 5440 km.
• Kazan-Taif: 5360 km

Total 10,800 km

Türkiye dışındaki Türkçe şairlerin haritasına baktığımızda yoğunlaşmanın olduğu yerler Balkanlar ve Kafkasya bölgelerinde.

Kafkasya’nın tanımı içerisinde İran da var ve daha doğuda ise Doğu Türkistan vahalarında en doğuda Turfan kenti olmak üzere şairler öbekleri göze çarpmaktadır.

Asya’da seyrek bir dağılım görüntüsü söz konusudur.

Akdeniz ve Karadeniz arasında bir yerleşim olarak gözüken Balkan yarımadasında ve Karadeniz’in kuzeyinde Kırım’da, ayrıca da Kafkasya da Hazar’ın batı kıyıları ve hinterlandında, yine doğu Akdeniz kıyılarında Kahire’den başlayıp Türkiye sınırına kadar gelen çizgi içerisinde yoğunlaşmalar söz konusudur.

Deniz kenarları daha çok şairleri barındırmıştır.

Türk şiirinin dünyada iz bıraktığımız coğrafyalar özelinde incelenmesi elzemdir. Avrupa, Asya ve Afrika kıtalarındaki 200’ü aşkın şehir ve yerleşimlerde doğan şairler Türkçe şiirler yazmışlardır.

Konu sadece Türkiye coğrafyasına indirgendiği için kısır kalıyor ve böylece Türk kavramı da soyut kaldığı için bu konunun peşine düştüm.

Tarihî dönemde yazılmış şiirlerle ilgili çeşitli çalışmalar yapıldı. Aprinçor Tigin’den başlayarak Uygur, Karahanlı, Harezm, Çağatay, Osmanlı sahaları konusunda birçok kaynak var. Çağdaş Türk şiiri ile ilgili olarak Yeni Türk Edebiyatı uzmanları daha iyi bilgi verebilirler. (Prof Ali Akar)

Şehirler üzerinden ilerlemek önemli. Neticede ortaya bir harita çıkacak. Doktora tezleri arasında bir kaynağa rastlamadım. En kapsamlı kaynak ise Türk Edebiyatı İsimler Sözlüğü’dür.

Türkiye dışındaki şairlerin şehirler bazında büyükten küçüğe sıralamasını oluşturdum. Şiir haritamız; Asya, Rumeli ve Afrika kıtaları olarak

Benim için çok enteresan oldu bu sonuçlar; 218 yerleşime dağılmış şairlerin şehirler bazındaki adetleri

Türkiye dışında Türkçe yazan şairler. Batıda Peç (Macaristan), doğuda Turfan (Doğu Türkistan -Çin), kuzeyde Kazan (Tataristan-Rusya) güneyde Mekke-Taif (Arabistan)

• Pecs-Turfan: 5440 km.
• Kazan-Taif: 5360 km
