The Preparing Background of Kipchak Written Language with Armenian Letters

Abstract

The Turkish language, one of the ancient languages in the world, has continually evolved and expanded across various geographical regions, establishing diverse historical and contemporary branches through the creation of written languages based on numerous alphabets. The formation processes of these branches of the Turkish language, which emerged gradually over time, are directly related to their ethnological structures, religious and social lifestyles, interactions in the ethno-linguistic field, geographical settlements, political situations and economic conditions. The Turkish language, which advanced as a unified written language between the 8th and 13th centuries, within the Eastern Turkish written tradition, began to diversify from the 13th century onwards, a trend that persisted into the subsequent centuries. Today, the historical and contemporary aspects of the Turkish language, encompassing over 20 written variants, should be examined by subjecting it to studies with an interdisciplinary approach.. Additionally, determining the background factors that led to the emergence of these written languages will enable a correct interpretation of the language’s evolutionary phases. This study aims to unveil the developmental trajectory of the Kipchak written language, which emerged in Eastern Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries through the use of Armenian letters. Determinations and evaluations will be conducted to explore the underlying factors that facilitated the emergence of this written language.
