THE ROLE OF MAHMOUD KASHGHARI IN ANCIENT TURKIC LINGUISTICS

Abstract

This article examines the role of ancient written sources in the emergence of the Old Turkic literary language. Our written heritage has an ancient and rich history, and its comprehensive study based on primary sources is more relevant today than ever. Regardless of how much the research carried out in this area to date has enriched the treasury of our linguistics, we still have a lot of work on the ancient Turkic language and classical texts in this language.
