"Persian is the language of poetry
and literature of the people.
The courtiers, the military, the
nobles and the wives of the rich
all speak Turkish (Azerbaijani)
at home.
Because the king and members
of the dynasty are from Azerbaijan,
where the language of the entire
population is Turkish. Arabic is
respected because it is the religious
language of the people.

The Turkish language spread from
the palace to the homes of high
-ranking and influential people,
and as a result, it became the
language of everyone who wanted
to gain the respect of the shah.
Now the situation has reached
the point that it is a crime for
anyone whose head is valuable
to his body not to know Turkish.
Turkish is easier than all oriental
languages. The grandeur and
grandeur of the Turkish language
made it the only spoken language
in the palace and the royal palace. "
