The Lexical Features of the monument «Kitabi-i intermu-i Terzhuman-i Turki ve ajemi ve mugali»

Abstract

Works written in the ancient Kypchak language have different places of writing, inscriptions used, purposes in writing, historical periods. Not all such monuments have been preserved. One of their groups is considered to be the legacy of the Mamluk Kypchaks. The number of inheritances is small. The text of the Kypchak inscription «Kitabi-i intermu-i Terzhuman-i Turki ve ajemi ve mugali» is distinguished by its scale. This written monument is written in the language of the Kypchaks in the Egyptian state. Arabic script was used when writing the text of the monument. The vocabulary section of the text is completely preserved.

The language of the Mamluk Kypchaks in Egypt is considered an under-studied topic. A research paper is dedicated to one of their groups. But the translation into the Kazakh language and their full study are not implemented. Explanations were given and separate scientific articles were devoted to the monument of writing «Kitabi-i intermu-i Terzhuman-i Turki ve ajemi ve mugali». But a full analysis of the lexical fund of the monument was not carried out. The work «Kitabi-i intermu-i Terzhuman-i Turki ve ajemi ve Mugali» at one time served as a dictionary and textbook for mastering the Kypchak language. This work proves the dominance of the Kypchaks in Egypt and may reflect the vocabulary of the Kypchak language. Therefore, it is important to analyze the lexical stock of this work.
