WITNESSING A DISAPPEARING TURKIC LANGUAGE: THE DUKHAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The Dukhans, nomadic reindeer herders living in northern Mongolia, speak a Turkic language which belongs to the Sayan language group in the Siberian branch of the Turkic languages. According to the Unesco Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger, the language of the Dukha is severely endangered. In this research, the present state of the Dukhan language, linguistic attitudes of the Dukhan people towards their language and in case the language disappears, possible effects of such an outcome on the Dukhan culture are examined from an anthropological perspective. The data are based both on the interviews made with 16 Dukhan families during the fieldwork carried out by the author in the summer of 2012 (July-August- September) and on the author’s personal observations. The aim of this article is to emphasize, via the state of the Dukhan language today that once a language gets extinct, what is lost is not merely the words but the human cultural values as well.
