Hali, the modern Turkish word for carpet or rug was written kali in Ottoman Turkish script until late in the 18th Century, as it was in classical Persian and still in modern Persian. It was borrowed from Persian into Urdu and from Ottoman Turkish into Armenian and other Caucasian languages of the Balkans. Its ultimate origin is uncertain; it could be Turkish but might be Sogdian.
