janičar
Vojnik turske milicije koju je 1329 ustanovio Orkad od mladih i zdravih hrišćana-zarobljenika, nasilno prevedenih u islam; 1369 sultan Murat je sproveo organizaciju ove nove vojske i dao joj izvesne povlastice, zbog čega su i mnogi Turci u nju stupali. Ova vojska, odlilčno opremljena, pretstavljala je jezgro turske pešadije; docnije se jako osilila, tako da je i samom sultanu bila opasna, zbog čega ju je Muhamed II ukinuo 1826; jenjičar.

A loyal supporter.
Bodyguard of the Ottoman sultan, the Turkish standing army from the late 14th century until 1826. Until the 16th century janissaries were Christian boys forcibly converted to Islam; after this time they were allowed to marry and recruit their own children. The bodyguard ceased to exist when it revolted against the decision of the sultan in 1826 to raise a regular force. The remaining janissaries were killed in battle or executed after being taken prisoner.
