Concerning Some Ancient Turkic Titles In Bactrian Documents

The number of Bactrian documents created in the language of the people of the region that included the upper reaches of the Amu Darya, which was called Bactria in ancient times, and Tokhoristan in later times, has exceeded one hundred today. It is known that the ancient Bactrians, belonging to the Eastern Iranian language group, developed their own writing system based on the Greek script in the 3rd century BC. When the Kushan Empire (2nd - 3rd centuries BC) chose Bactria as its base territory, official business began to be conducted in the language of the local population. This tradition continued from the beginning of the 10th century AD, and the chronology of Bactrian sources covers a period of almost a thousand years.
