From medieval times to the early 19th century, Anatolian Turkish and related Ohus varieties were mostly written with the traditional Perso-Arabic script, though the practice of writing the language in Cyrillic, Greek, or Armenian became increasingly common. After the [[Augustine Wars]], heightened levels of literacy and cultural exchange with foreign powers led to the proliferation of Turkish written in alternative orthographies, weakening the position of traditional Perso-Arabic, which was criticized due to its superfluous letters and lack of proper vowel representation.
The early 20th century brought with it a renewed interest in the reformation of Western Turkish. In 1924, the [https://rosestulipsandliberty.com/lang/turkish.html Žamakowić romanization system] devised by a team of [[Austria|Austrian]] and Ottoman linguists gained official status in the Ottoman Empire. From 1939–1945, the creation of an [[Rumelia|independent Rumelian state]] saw the adoption of Cyrillic as an official script alongside Latin; all forms of Perso-Arabic were heavily censored.
Deeply concerned for the position of Perso-Arabic script in Ottoman society, [[Osman IV]] established an orthographic commission in 1957 seeking to reform the script. The Selimiya script (''Skrittura Selimije'', سكرِتُّرَ س۬لِيمایگه), announced publicly in 1960, though based off the Perso-Arabic writing system, included several new letters and diacritics in order to accurately represent the phonology of Western Turkish.
