Abstract

The article is relevant in determining the role of modern Kyrgyz language as one of the ancient Turkic languages. The purpose of this article is to determine the level of words used in the modern Kyrgyz language described in the dictionary “Divanu lugati t-turk” by Mahmut Kashkari, including names of diseases, and linguistic phenomena in the transformation of words. Research objects are translated words in the M. Kashkari’s dictionary. The study is based on the historical-comparative method. As a result of this study, it was found that the names of physical structures and diseases in the dictionary by M. Kashkari in the modern Kyrgyz language are subjected to phonetic changes (öt - gallbladder, köz - eye, head - head, eyelash - eyelash, iriη - pus, etc.), but some of them are subjected to phonetic changes (bugin - joint, bögön - lump, azaq - foot, foot, ämik - breast, ärnäk - toe, sigil - wart, etc.) and some words have other names that are not used at all (tilaq - female genitalia, ozluq - bone marrow, kösri - chest, bagiriaq - rash, etc.).

1. Introduction

The article is relevant in determining the role of modern Kyrgyz language as one of the ancient Turkic languages. The purpose of this article is to determine the level of words used in the modern Kyrgyz language, described in the dictionary “Divanu lugati t-turk” by Mahmut Kashkari (Usmambetov, 2016; Isabekova, 2017), to determine the level of linguistic phenomena in the transformation of words, to compare changes with related languages (Davlatova, 2019).

This study is based on the historical-comparative method, where study objects are translated words from the following dictionaries: 1) Mahmut Kashkari. Divanu lugati-t turk. Turkic language vocabulary, translated by Abduvaliev et al., Bishkek: Biyiktik, 2013a, 512 pages; 2) Mahmut Kashkari. Divanu lugati-t turk. Turkic Dictionary of languages, translated by Abduvaliev et al., Bishkek: Biyiktik, 2013b, 304 pages; 3) Mahmoud Kashgari. Dictionary of Turkic languages, translated by Tokoev, T. and Koshmokov, K., Bishkek: Avrasya Press, 2011, 906 pages.

The dictionary “Divanu lugati t-turk” written by the linguist-encyclopedist Mahmut Kashkari in middle centuries which is famous until today, is invaluable linguistic and historical monument of all Turkic language people. Scientist Malov noted about the Dictionary by Mahmut Kashkari: “a wonderful philological combination” (Malov, 1951). This valuable dictionary is an important source in the study of Turkic languages, including the Kyrgyz language. Linguist-scientist B. Oruzbaeva noted in her article named “Dictionary by Mahmud Kashgari as a source for study the Kyrgyz language lexicon in historical plan”: “Divan by M. Kashgari contains valuable material for differential, deep study of the Kyrgyz language history, for establishing of its some specific regulations, formation of grammatical and lexical-semantic peculiarities” (Oruzbaeva, 2011; Isaeva, 2019).

Therefore, the dictionary plays an important role in historical study of the modern Kyrgyz language lexicon. This article collected words related to the body structure described in the dictionary, and explanations based on comparison with words given in the modern Kyrgyz language. In addition, article is considering similarities and differences in appearance of certain words in other related Turkic languages (Johanson, 2020). It was found that most of words related to the body structure in this work used in the modern Kyrgyz language; some of them were changed phonetically; a few words were not used in the modern Kyrgyz lexicon, and had other meanings.

We used the comparative-historical method in this article, which is determining similarity of languages and study of the diachronic development in related languages. The article uses a comparative-historical method of research, which includes the following methods: 1) external reconstruction based on common words finding, morphemes in the cognate language and revealing their phonetic changes in the ancestral language; 2) internal reconstruction characterizing by discovery of phenomena and interactions in the language system, which were evidence of certain elements characteristic of the earliest stages in the language history.

In connection with the dictionary “Divanu lugati t-turk” by the great linguist Mahmut Kashkari, the famous scholar from Azerbaijan, Rahimov Arif Rahim oglu conducted a special study, and compared materials of the dictionary with the lexicon of the modern Azerbaijan language. He examined features of the words used in Mahmut Kashkari’s dictionary in the modern Azerbaijan language and its dialects, and divided them into three groups:

1) Modern Azerbaijan language in the lexicon of “Divan” and words used without change in dialects;

2) Phono-morphological changes in the words “Divan” in modern Azerbaijan language and dialects;

3) The use of the words “Divan” in modern Azerbaijan languages and dialects through phonetic changes (Ragimov, 1985).

Additionally, this article is collecting words related to body structure in the dictionary, and compares them with modern Kyrgyz words, sometimes considering similarities and differences with their appearance in other related languages, and dividing into following types:

1) Body structure names used in the modern Kyrgyz language without changing their appearance in the dictionary;

2) Body structure names used in modern Kyrgyz language with phonetic changes;

3) Body structure names found in the dictionary of M. Kashkari, but not used in the modern Kyrgyz language, and have other names.

The following examples related to body names used in the modern Kyrgyz language, and can be given without changing their appearance in the dictionary:

őt - gallbladder (Abduvaliev et al., 2013a).

kőz - eye (Abduvaliev et al., 2013a). Karacalpak: eye; Azerbaijan: göz; Kazakh: köz; Turkmen: eye contact.

It is clear from the above examples that most of the words used in the ancient Kyrgyz language in their ancient form have undergone only phonetic changes in related languages (vowels, consonants). Phonetic realization of a phonological elements in the Kyrgyz language vary based on range of factors, such as elements position, speech rate, and style (McCollum, 2020). Consonant sounds at the beginning of a word, and at the end of a word should be analyzed taking into account their sonorousness, deafness and sonority (Koshueva et al., 2020). The Kyrgyz language phonetics is characterized by 8 short, 6 long phonemes, primary and secondary length long vowels; the law of vowel harmonization is depending on the sound quality, place of formation, tongue position, labialization, indicating a phonetic, grammatical peculiarity of the Kyrgyz language in comparison with other Turkic languages (Musaev, 2016).

őz - core (part of the body belonging to the esophagus): őzüm ağrıdı - pain in the core (Malov, 1951). This word in the modern Kyrgyz dictionary means internal passages, or the inner part in abdomen.

2. Phonetically Altered Words

ağız - a person’s mouth: ağız jäsä kőz ujažur, the mouth, the eye is ashamed (Abduvaliev et al., 2013a); This word is spoken in the modern Kyrgyz language. Most of words containing long sound oo are involving pronunciation with short vowels in ancient Turkic inscriptions. The turbulent sound г between the two vowels is softened, passed to the diphthong w, and then a long vowel is formed: а + г + ы > оw > оо. Occurs in other Turkic languages these words are following: Turkic: agyz; Uzbek: mouth; Kazakh: mouth; Karacalpak: ағиз,еғиз.

Azığ - jaw (Abduvaliev et al., 2013a). In this example, vowels and consonants formed from a sequence by long vowels diphthongization: ы + г > w > уу.

As a result of this study, dictionary by M. Kashkari “Divanu lugati t-turk” was examined on disease names used in the modern Kyrgyz language, and about their unchanged forms (őt - gallbladder, kőz - eye, baş - head, kirpik - eyelash, etc.), some of them are used with phonetic changes (buğın - joint, bőgőn - lump, ažaq - foot, foot, ämik - breast, ärnäk - toe, etc.) and some with other names (ožluq - bone marrow, kősri - chest, bağıriaq - rash, etc.). These are the facts that prove language as a social phenomenon. The results of this study showed that Kyrgyz language is one of the oldest Turkic languages. Research results obtained in this study can be used as a material for study of Turkic languages history and lexical content including modern Kyrgyz language.

Language is a social phenomenon developing with the progress in society. Some words become obsolete. New words are adopting from other language. M. Mashkari’s dictionary “Divanu lugati t-turk” is a valuable material for historical study of the Turkic languages lexicon. Since the Kyrgyz language is also an ancient Turkic language, its modern vocabulary is studied in the article in order to determine extent relating to ancient time.

In particular, the results obtained from this article are useful as a material for comparative study of words in Turkic languages and their relationship with other words. With the development in society, the languages vocabulary has changed. In other words, research results can be used for determining the differences and commonalities, features in the lexicon of ancient and modern Turkic languages.
