Comparative Analysis Of The Section Of “Sky And Related Words” In The Manuscripts Tarjumon Turki And Bulghatil Mushtaq
Abstract
This study presents a detailed comparative analysis of two significant medieval Turkic manuscripts: Bulghatil mushtaq, authored by Jamaliddin at-Turki in the 14th century, and Tarjumon Turki, an anonymous work whose author remains unknown. Both manuscripts function as scientific dictionaries intended to assist Arabic-speaking learners in acquiring the Turkic language, thereby reflecting the historical significance and widespread use of Turkic language in the 14th century. The research explores a range of linguistic features, including vocabulary selection, semantic nuances, lexical differences, and the cultural contexts embedded within the texts.By examining these manuscripts in parallel, the study provides meaningful insights into the development of medieval Turkic languages and scholarly practices of the era. It affirms the enduring relevance of these texts for modern researchers in linguistics, history, ethnography, and cultural studies, demonstrating how medieval lexicons serve as vital windows into the intellectual and social landscapes of the past.
