Language contacts of Azerbaijani and Kazakh turkic languages (on the basis of azerbaijanian dialectologist, academician Mammadaga Shiraliyev’s creative works)

Abstract

Turkic literary languages or dialects have very long common roots, and despite various
political and geographical differences, these native languages have preserved their ancient
roots, vocabulary, grammatical structure, and phonetic features. Even today, the carriers of these
languages can easily understand each other in a common language. Dialectological studies while
speaking of the phonetic features of Turkish dialects and language varieties traditionally refer to
both vowel and consonant displacements and phonetic laws. The works, monographs and articles
written by scholars of Turkic peoples are also mentioned when we talk about the idea of forming
a common Turkic language in our modern age. M. Shiraliyev correctly points out that on the
one hand our ancient written monuments, works of our writers of the past, and on the other hand
materials of the Turkic languages, help to identify phonetic events and to refine their forms. In
this regard, the works of the great Azerbaijani dialectologist and Turkish scientist, academician
Mammadaga Shirali oglu Shiraliyev are of great importance. The researcher made a number of
words that are typical for the Turkic languages and dialects, giving a comparatively phonetic explanation.
The scientist has researched specific phonetic phenomena and laws in the dialects and
varieties of the Azerbaijani language and has also touched upon the integration of Kazakh language
and dialects when it comes to location. M. Shiraliyev did not exclude the specific features
of the numerous words used in dialects and dialects of the Azerbaijani language, compared with
the literary language and dialects of the Kazakh Turkish, revealed the similarities and differences
with the skills of a true dialectologist. Here, too, there were positive results.It is also clear that
not only Azerbaijani dialectologists, linguists, but also world Turkology scholars have benefited
and will benefit from the work of academician M.Shiraliyev. M.Shiraliyev’s research on the phonetic,
morphological and lexical features of dialects and dialects of the Azerbaijani and Kazakh
languages is still relevant today.
