Cumbadan Rumbaya, published by Peyami Safa under the name of Server Bedi, is a novel in which the east-west conflict is told in a humorous way, with Deli Cemile from Karagümrük in the center. In the novel, the "traditional" house in the Karagümrük neighborhood of Cemile; her story is told, extending to a "modern" apartment in Taksim. Cemile's neighborhood, house, furniture, clothes and social environment have changed, since she started to live with maids and expensive items in an apartment in Taksim with the opportunities offered to her by the merchant Tahsin Bey from Kayseri. The only thing that hasn't changed is Cemile's style. Cemile cannot escape the slang-wrapped language of the Karagümrük neighborhood. In fact, she doesn't want to get rid of it. Because, according to Cemile, her style is an indication of the purity of the heart. In this study, Peyami Safa's novel "Cumbadan Rumbaya" has been analyzed through female slang. Because women's voices are heard more throughout the novel. Contrary to what is customary in the novel Cumbadan Rumbaya, not men; women speak slang. All women living in the Karagümrük neighborhood, especially Cemile, the central character of the novel, speak slang. When these slang examples are examined, it is seen that insulting slang used during fights and arguments come to the fore. Slang words for female sexuality are very few. The slang that Cemile speaks to her neighbors in Karagümrük and the slang she speaks to the people she has just met in Taksim are different from each other. While speaking more freely in Karagümrük, she tries to pay attention to what she speaks in the modern environment of Taksim. Even when she is angry, it is seen that the slang language she uses in Taksim is more polite. The source of Cemile's slang in the novel is her family and neighborhood, Karagümrük. In addition, the lack of education is among the reasons for speaking slang. Because, according to Cemile, school "makes people mush". That's why Cemile doesn't like those who "talk with the mouth of a clerk" around her. This novel, in which female slang is at the forefront, differs from the others among Peyami Safa's novels with this aspect.
