Mehmet Kanar (born 1954) is a Turkish writer, scholar, lexicographer, and translator specialising in Persian language and literature and Ottoman Turkish. His academic path joins dictionary making, historical language study, textual scholarship, and translations from classical and modern Persian. Farhang-i Fārsī be Turkī represents the reference-work side of a career devoted to making Persian vocabulary and texts accessible to Turkish readers. Its structure offers a practical view of Kanar's lexicographical method. His wider bibliography leads toward Ottoman Turkish dictionaries, Persian grammar, modern Iranian literary history, and the editing or translation of texts that move between two long literary traditions, making language study and literary history complementary parts of the same scholarly project.
