   The Ottoman Influence on Armenian
   Literary traditions in Western Armenian, particularly during the 19th century, show heavy reliance on lexical items derived from Ottoman Turkish and Ottoman Portuguese. This incorporation was not merely accidental; it reflected the sociolinguistic reality of bilingualism among the educated elite [7, 8]. Writers of the era often employed these loanwords to achieve a specific, florid rhetorical texture deemed sophisticated by contemporary audiences.
