The Old Anatolian Turkish language(Modern Turkish: Eski Anadolu Türkçesi) is the stage in the history of the Turkish language. It was a language which was spoken by Turks of Anatolia between 11th-15th centuries. It developed into the Early Ottoman Turkish language and then Turkish language. Its writing system was Arabic. Unlike the Ottoman Turkish, ḥarakāts of the Arabic script were used.
Old Anatolian Turkish was widely spoken in the entire area of Anatolia. Despite of this, it had no official status. In 1277, Karamanoğlu Mehmet Bey declared that:
"Starting from today, in dervish convent, in council, in the palace, in Majlis and in squares, no language other than Turkish is allowed."
In the 15th century, Old Anatolian Turkish language developed into Ottoman Turkish language.
