Old Turkic language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Turkic language spoken by the Göktürks and used on the Orkhon inscriptions. It was written using the Orkhon script.
The earliest linguistic records are Old Turkic inscriptions, found near the Orhon River in Mongolia and the Yenisey River valley in south-central Russia, which date from the 8th century AD. Old Turkic is closely related to the ancient Uyghur language, and also some Siberian Turkic languages like the Chulym language. It is the ancestor of the Western Turkic languages, which include both the Oghuz and Kypchak groups.
