The Turkish Language Association

The Turkish Language Association (Türk Dil Kurumu, TDK) is a government-established organization responsible for researching, developing, and regulating the Turkish language. Its primary tasks include standardizing spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, as well as promoting the correct and consistent use of Turkish in education, media, and public life. Founded in 1932, the TDK aims to preserve the language's integrity and adapt it to modern needs, ensuring it remains vibrant and coherent for future generations. It serves as an authoritative authority on Turkish language and linguistic standards.
