Bu makale, bugün artık konuşuru tükenmiş bir dil olan Haliç Karaycasından iki metin sunmaktadır. Karayca, bugünkü sınırları itibariyle Litvanya, Ukrayna ve Kırım’da bulunan Doğu Avrupa
Karaylarının dini topluluklarında (bir zamanlar) konuşulan Kıpçak Türkçesinin ortak adıdır. Museviliğe ait mezhepleri, İbranice Eski Ahit’in okunmasını esas almaktadır. Kayıtlar 1990’lı
yıllarda Köln Üniversitesinde Alman Bilimsel Araştırmalar Kurumu tarafından finanse edilen bir araştırma projesi çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Metinler, Johanson (2021)’de önerilen
Türkolojik çevriyazı, satırarası morfolojik açıklamalar ve İngilizce çeviri ile birlikte sunulmaktadır. Karaycanın söz konusu değişkesinin belirgin özellikleri kısaca açıklanıp metinlerden
örneklerle ortaya konmaktadır.

Southwest (Halich) Karaim

Öz

This paper presents two texts in the Halich Karaim language, which is today practically extinct. Karaim is the common denomination of the Kipchak Turkic varieties once spoken in the religious communities of Eastern European Karaites in today’s Lithuania, Ukraine, and Crimea. Their Mosaic confession is based on reading the Hebrew Bible. The recordings were made in the 1990s in the framework of a research project financed by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft at the University of Cologne. The texts are presented in a Turcological transcription of Johanson (2021) with morphological glosses and English translation. Selected specific features of the variety are briefly described and illustrated with examples from the texts.
