Türk Dil Kurumu (TDK)

The Türk Dil Kurumu (TDK) is Turkey’s official language authority, established in 1932 to oversee and develop the Turkish language. Its main responsibilities include creating and updating dictionaries, standardizing spelling and grammar rules, promoting the correct use of Turkish, and supporting the enrichment of its vocabulary. TDK also works to preserve the language's historical roots while adapting it to contemporary needs, ensuring clear and consistent communication across Turkey. Its efforts help maintain the linguistic integrity and cultural identity of Turkish-speaking communities.
