The simplification of the Turkish lexicon over time led to [[Turkification]], and attempts to replace foreign-origin loanwords used in literary works with sometimes conditioning words that did not even conform to Turkish language rules, posed a risk of the language being disconnected from its cultural and historical sources.
==Word derivations==
Most of the new Turkish words are derived from other words with thematic suffixes. For example:
''{{lang|tr|bat-}}'' is the root of the verb ''{{lang|tr|batmak}}'', which means "to sink" or "to set". The derived word ''{{lang|tr|batı}}'' means "west" or the cardinal direction in which the sun "sinks". Another example would be ''{{lang|tr|aylık}}'', which means "salary" as well as ''{{lang|tr|monthly}}''. This is derived from the word ''{{lang|tr|ay}}'', which means "moon, month".
