In 1534, with about 10,000 Turkish soldiers, the [[Ottoman Empire]] took control and settled in the region when Tunisia's inhabitants called for help due to fears that the [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] would invade the country.<ref>{{Harvnb|UNESCO|2009|loc=12}}.</ref> Thus, during the Ottoman rule, the Turkish community dominated the political life of the region for centuries; as a result, the ethnic mix of Tunisia changed considerably with the continuous migration of Turks from [[Anatolia]], as well as other parts of the Ottoman territories, for over 300 years. In addition, some Turks intermarried with the local population and their male offspring were called "[[Kouloughlis]]".<ref>{{cite web |author=Tunisia Today|title=Vient de paraître "Tribus : des origines à la dislocation"|url=http://www.tunisia-today.com/archives/21374|access-date=2012-04-18}}</ref><ref name="UNESCO 2009 loc=13">{{Harvnb|UNESCO|2009|loc=13}}.</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Milli Gazete|title=Levanten Türkler|url=http://www.milligazete.com.tr/makale/levanten-turkler-153681.htm|access-date=2012-03-19|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100223132907/http://www.milligazete.com.tr/makale/levanten-turkler-153681.htm|archive-date=2010-02-23}}</ref> Consequently, the terms "Turks" and "Kouloughlis" were used to distinguish between those of full and partial Turkish ancestry.<ref name="Miltoun">{{citation |last=Miltoun|first=Francis|year=1985|title=The spell of Algeria and Tunisia|page=129|publisher=[[Darf Publishers]]|quote=Throughout North Africa, from Oran to Tunis, one encounters everywhere, in the town as in the country, the distinct traits which mark the seven races which make up the native population: the Moors, the Berbers, the Arabs, the Negreos, the Jews, the Turks and the Kouloughlis… descendants of Turks and Arab women.|isbn=1850770603}}</ref> |

⚫ | The Turks in Tunisia were traditionally a privileged élite in Tunisia who held positions in the military and the bureaucracy.<ref name="Green 1978 loc=47">{{Harvnb|Green|1978|loc=47}}.</ref> However, by the nineteenth century, marriages with the local population linked the ruling families to indigenous notables. At this time, many Turks also turned to commerce and the crafts, initially in the [[Souq el-Trouk]] (the Bazaar of the Turks), where a considerable number of merchants of Turkish ancestry emerged. The Turks also entered the corps of artisans.<ref name="Green 1978 loc=47"/> The [[Ben Romdhan family]], of [[Turkish people|Turkish]] origin, claim much of the notable Tunisian families of [[Mahdia]] such as the Hamza, Turki, Gazdagli, Agha, and Snène families.<ref name="Khouaja 1962 loc=89">{{Harvnb|Khouaja|1962|loc=89}}.</ref> Other prominent Tunisian families of Turkish origin include the {{ill|Bayram family|lt=Bayrams|fr|Famille Bayram}}, {{ill|Belkhodja family|lt=Belkhodjas|fr|Famille Belkhodja}}, El Materis, {{ill|Sfar family|lt=Sfars|fr|Famille Sfar}}, {{ill|Osman family|fr|Famille Osman|lt=Osmans}}, Mamis and the {{ill|Slim family (Tunisia)|fr|Famille Slim|lt=Slim}}s. |

The Turks in Tunisia, also known as Turco-Tunisians[1] and Tunisian Turks,[2] (Arabic: أتراك تونس; French: Turcs de Tunisie; Turkish: Tunus Türkleri) are ethnic Turks who constitute one of the minority groups in Tunisia.[3]
In 1534, with about 10,000 Turkish soldiers, the Ottoman Empire took control and settled in the region when Tunisia's inhabitants called for help due to fears that the Spanish would invade the country.[4] Thus, during the Ottoman rule, the Turkish community dominated the political life of the region for centuries; as a result, the ethnic mix of Tunisia changed considerably with the continuous migration of Turks from Anatolia, as well as other parts of the Ottoman territories, for over 300 years. In addition, some Turks intermarried with the local population and their male offspring were called "Kouloughlis".[5][6][7] Consequently, the terms "Turks" and "Kouloughlis" were used to distinguish between those of full and partial Turkish ancestry.[8]
Demographics
[edit]Families of Turkish origin live mainly near the coastal cities, such as Tunis, Mahdia, Hammamet and the islands (such as Djerba), although there are also many living within central Tunisia as well.[9][10]
Culture
[edit]Language
[edit]In 2012 the Tunisian government introduced the Turkish language in all Tunisian secondary schools.[11]
Religion
[edit]The Ottoman Turks brought with them the teaching of the Hanafi School of Islam during the Ottoman rule of Tunisia, which still survives among the Turkish-descended families today.[12] Traditionally, Turco-Tunisian mosques have octagonal minarets.[12] Examples of Ottoman-Turkish mosques include:
Notable people
[edit]The Turks in Tunisia were traditionally a privileged élite in Tunisia who held positions in the military and the bureaucracy.[13] However, by the nineteenth century, marriages with the local population linked the ruling families to indigenous notables. At this time, many Turks also turned to commerce and the crafts, initially in the Souq el-Trouk (the Bazaar of the Turks), where a considerable number of merchants of Turkish ancestry emerged. The Turks also entered the corps of artisans.[13] The Ben Romdhan family, of Turkish origin, claim much of the notable Tunisian families of Mahdia such as the Hamza, Turki, Gazdagli, Agha, and Snène families.[14] Other prominent Tunisian families of Turkish origin include the Bayrams , Belkhodjas , El Materis, Sfars , Osmans , Mamis and the Slim s.
