WH: What proof exists that it is Turkish in origin? I would have thought that it is more likely to be very old and pre-Ottoman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.1.76 (talk) 15:25, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- The song talks about Üsküdar, Üsküdar was built during the Ottoman Empire, how can it be pre-Ottoman if there was no Üsküdar at that time ? It's Turkish, get over it. 78.161.134.254 (talk) 12:29, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
