Artin Hindoğlu (Armenian: Յարութիւն Հինտօղլու) was a 19th-century Ottoman etymologist, interpreter, professor, linguist, and writer of the first modern French-Turkish dictionary.
[1][2] Of Armenian descent, Artin Hindoğlu was born in Istanbul and lived there until 10 years old.
[1] His first known publication was in Vienna in 1829, where he published an Ottoman Turkish grammar book for the comprehension of ordinary conversation.
[citation needed] The work was later translated into French and published in 1834 under the title "Grammaire théorique et pratique de la langue turke telle qu'elle est parlée à Constantinople"(English: Theoretical and practical grammar of the Turkish language as spoken in Constantinople).
[1][4] In 1830, he wrote a German-Armenian dictionary and had it published in Venice at the Armenian Mekhitarist monastery at the San Lazzaro degli Armeni.
