ПИСЬМЕННЫЕ ПАМЯТНИКИ ЗОЛОТОЙ ОРДЫ КАК ИСТОЧНИК ДЛЯ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ ТЮРКСКИХ ЯЗЫКОВ

The article deals with the written monuments of the Golden Horde era as the main source for studying Turkic languages. Despite the formation of a single Turkic language in the Middle Ages, elements of the Kipchak and Oghuz languages ​​are found in written monuments. However, despite the mixed linguistic nature, one of the languages ​​predominates in the vocabulary of the monuments, depending on the territory of their origin. Specific data are provided in the investigation. In addition, the linguistic processes of the Golden Horde era proceeded in parallel with the processes of creating an independent khanate, which united various clans and tribes that made up the Kazakh people. The investigation of the Golden Horde monuments is necessary, firstly, to establish the continuity of the history of the language and the nation, and secondly, to find out to what extent these monuments are connected with the modern Kazakh language and what contribution the Middle Turkic language made to the development of the Kazakh language. The article analyzes in detail the studies of the works of Qutb "Khosrow and Shirin", Seif Sarai "Gulistan bit-Turki", Khorezmi "Muhabbat-name", Mahmud bin Ali "Nahj al-Faradis". The main goal of the study is to summarize various opinions about the language of written monuments and develop a unified conclusion. The authors present their scientific views. It is proven that written monuments can serve as an important source for the study of modern Turkic languages, including the modern Kazakh language.
