Sevgili dostlar merhaba. Bugün otuz Ağustos iki bin yirmi bir. Türklerin mutlu bir günü. Yöre Zafer Bayramları. Türk’ün kimliği üzerinde çok kısaca bir sohbet yapacağız sizlerle.

Türk’ün kimliği dilindedir, Türkçe’dir.

Ne kadar güzel söylemişiz değil mi? Türkçe. Bu kimlik? Dil üzerinden genişlemiştir ve çok daha geniş boyutlara ulaşacaktır.

Bizlere düşen Türk dilini, Türkçe’yi dünyada uluslararası bir dil haline getirmek misyonudur.

Bunu başardığımız müddetçe Türk kimliği dünyada yaygınlaşmış olacaktır.

Burada söz konusu olan kan üzerinden bir kimlik, akrabalık değildir. Dil üzerinden çok daha geniş insan kitlelerine ulaşabilecek, tüm kıtalarda sesini dil üzerinden duyurabilecek uluslararası bir kimliktir.

19. yüzyılda dünyanın en zengin iki dili Türkçe ve İngilizce idi. Sir James Redhouse, Mercan yokuşunda kurduğu kitabevi ile Türkçe-İngilizce sözlük hazırladı ve bunun neticesinde Türkçeyi liderlik tahtından indirdi.

O halde bizler de Türk dillerini karşılıklı kelime alışverişi ve etkileşimine dahil ederek tekrar liderlik tahtını geri almalıyız.
