Abstract

Background. This article is about the relationship of the Chulym Turkic language to the Kipchak Turkic languages. The article sets questions to which of the modern Kipchak languages Chulym Turkic is related or whether it is a separate Kipchak language group. The relationship of the Chulym Turkic language to Cuman (Ponto-Caspian) is also studied. The Chulym Turks are the people of the South East of the West-Siberian Plain. The number of the Chulym Turks is around 365 people in Russia.

Materials and Methods. Research materials are words of the Leipzig–Jakarta list, phonetic and morphology data of the Turkic languages. The Leipzig–Jakarta list is a 100-word list to test the degree of the relationship between languages. The most resistant words were taken from dictionaries, publications and native speakers. In this survey the comparative method is used as the main method. The quantitative method is applied to count the similarities and discrepancies in the Leipzig-Jakarta list of the Turkic languages.

Discussions. Previously we understood Chulym Turkic to be of the Kipchak Turkic language origin, according to the Leipzig-Jakarta list.

Conclusions. Authors conclude that the Chulym Turkic language differs from the Cuman (Ponto-Caspian) Turkic languages in 2 items. Homogeneity of the Kipchak languages as comparable objects, according to the Leipzig-Jakarta list, is revealed. Detailed analysis of the list of vocabulary and grammar data reveals that the Chulym Turkic language belongs to the Uralian Kipchak languages.
