The Yeni Lisan Movement (Ottoman Turkish: یكی لسان, romanized: yeni lisan, lit. 'new language'), is a literary movement initiated by Genç Kalemler magazine in order to reform the Ottoman Turkish language.
The principals of Ottoman Turkish reform suggested by the Yeni Lisan Movement are:
- No grammatical structures to be used in Turkish from Arabic and Persian such as ezāfe.
- Reforming the spelling: The spelling of loanwords from Arabic and Persian should match with their pronunciations. (Because Ottoman Turkish preserved "archaic" spellings even though the pronunciation of the words drastically changed).
- Creation of a new written standard based on the Istanbul dialect.
