No, it is not different language but your lacking knowledge of how Ottoman Turkish written in Arabic Alphabet. Here are some examples from the poem above: درددن is drddn and should be read as derdden. The biggest problem of Ottoman Turkish is that vowels are often omited and you have to guess the word from the consonants. رب = rb is rab and بر = br is bir. Why not rb is rib and br is bar? دم = dm is dem. - dn in the end of the word عشقدن is the Turkish ablative suffix -dan. It would be -den according to vowel harmony in some another word but yet would be written -dn. Strange? Funny? Or what?
Not using vowels also caused a lot of common errors. One of them is cürüm in this saying: "ateş olsa cürmü kadar yer yakar." Cürüm should be cirim but because both word written in the same way (crm) people changed cirim (volume) to cürüm (crime) which makes the saying sound absurd but no one is aware of this absurdness.
Well
I dont think that is the point here. They could have decided to write the Ottoman in Orhon script and the result would be the same.
The point people trying to make is not very complicated:
There were ´imposed revolutions´ during the first years of our republic.
The approach was from top to bottom.
The language revolution resulted in Turkish people having a cultural cut off with their past.
Simple as that.
