 Today, the inhabitants of Anatolia are mostly native speakers of the Turkish language, which was introduced with the conquest of Anatolia by Turkic peoples and the rise of the [[Ottoman Empire]] in the 13th century. However, Anatolia remained multi-ethnic until the early 20th century. A significant Kurdish ethnic and linguistic minority still exists in the south eastern regions.
