It’s supposed to be Turkish, but I for one don't recognise it.

Janissary And Iayalar

All the best,

yayalar
I think what they defined as "Iayalar" is originally "Yayalar." Yaya basically means a pedestrian (hence, the soldiers travelling on foot). I know that "Yayalar" was one of the corps in the Ottoman Army.
