Editing Excellency (section)

===Turkey===
In the English language, the [[president of Turkey|president]] and the [[Vice President of Turkey|vice-president]], [[Cabinet of Turkey|cabinet ministers]], [[List of diplomatic missions of Turkey|ambassadors]], and some other high-ranking bureaucrats are addressed as ''Excellency''.

In the Turkish language, honorific titles are no longer used since the 1923 modernisation of the language; under [[Atatürk's reforms|Atatürk's Reforms]]. Instead of ''Excellency'', dignitaries are addressed using the Turkish word for ''Honorable (Turkish: Sayın)'' followed by their office.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Unvanlar / T.C.

It is important to emphasise that this distinction only applies when speaking in the Turkish language, not in English. Additionally, in very rare [[Ceremony|ceremonial]] circumstances, the word ''Excellency'' is used in Turkish. An example would be the formal [[accreditation]] of a Turkish ambassador, wherein the letter of confidence authored by the [[President of Turkey|Turkish president]] would address the ambassador as ''Excellency (Turkish: Ekselansları)''.
