You are wrong, in almost all Ottoman official documents "Istanbul" has been called "Istana/Astana" (it means capital/city in Persian language, the new capital of Kazakhstan is also called Astana).

Now i know the word Istana or Astana we use in Malay is from Persian.. cool..



Istana means court in Indonesian, so I'm assuming that is the same in Bahasa Melayu.
Just checked and Astana means cemetery in Indonesian so it would be embarrassing to mix the two up :)
Arrrgh!!"

The origin of the phrase "Motherland" perhaps?

guys plz forget about greek theory of istanbul

it can means so many things it can be full turkic word or half turkic half persian word see this

bul have so many meaning like so many full of becoming  hurry

so istanbul can  means becoming capital (half turkish half persian) or become place of settling

ist/est in persian means stop so it can make an other half turkish half persian word istanbul = the place that become stop place

other theory of istanbul is islambul which means become islam or full of islam

turkmen turkish differences

bul/ol bulor/olur bulmor/olmaz bulde/oulde they just remove the b words they speak modern turkish we speak old ones LOL
