History of the Turkic languages (Timeline)

The Turkic languages are a language family of more than 35 documented languages, spoken by the Turkic peoples of Eurasia from Eastern Europe and Southern Europe to Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia (Siberia), and West Asia. The Turkic languages originated in a region of East Asia spanning from Mongolia to Northwest China, where Proto-Turkic is thought to have been spoken, from where they expanded to Central Asia and farther west during the first millennium. They are characterized as a dialect continuum.
Turkic languages are spoken by some 200 million people. The Turkic language with the greatest number of speakers is Turkish, spoken mainly in Anatolia and the Balkans; its native speakers account for about 38% of all Turkic speakers, followed by Uzbek.
Characteristic features such as vowel harmony, agglutination, subject-object-verb order, and lack of grammatical gender, are almost universal within the Turkic family. There is a high degree of mutual intelligibility, upon moderate exposure, among the various Oghuz languages, which include Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, Chaharmahali Turkic, Gagauz, and Balkan Gagauz Turkish, as well as Oghuz-influenced Crimean Tatar. Other Turkic languages demonstrate varying amounts of mutual intelligibility within their subgroups as well. Although methods of classification vary, the Turkic languages are usually considered to be divided into two branches: Oghur, the only surviving member of which is Chuvash, and Common Turkic, which includes all other Turkic languages.
Turkic languages show many similarities with the Mongolic, Tungusic, Koreanic, and Japonic languages. These similarities have led some linguists (including Talât Tekin) to propose an Altaic language family, though this proposal is widely rejected by historical linguists. Similarities with the Uralic languages even caused these families to be regarded as one for a long time under the Ural-Altaic hypothesis. However, there has not been sufficient evidence to conclude the existence of either of these macrofamilies. The shared characteristics between the languages are attributed presently to extensive prehistoric language contact.

Hi everyone. Initially, I didn’t really want to make a video about Turkic languages. But almost every video asked me to do this. Well, I did it. Enjoy the video!

[@Patlichan]

There are mistakes on the spread of Karachay-Balkar, which was not widespread like that before the Circassian genocide. After the genocide, Russian Empire allowed Karachay-Balkar settlers to settle further in the region. Other than that it is a good video. I hope you make something about Caucasian languages.

Ottoman turkish was the langauge of government and contained tones of arabic and persian loan words, the common turks spoke anatolian turkish.

Great video❤!also random question:how did the dobrujan tatars reach dobruja in the 1600s?What caused the migration?

[@iroquoianmapper]

After the Nogai Horde was conquered by Russia, part of the Nogais settled in the northern part of Dagestan (where they live today), and the other part reached Dobruja where they became the Dobruja Tatars.

Strange how Uyghur replaced Chagatai. And Old Uyghur was not its ancestor.

What languages group will be next?

[@iroquoianmapper]

I don't know yet. My videos have been getting few views lately. and I don't want to do anything. But I plan to make Arawak or Maya languages.

Bro who said Turkics predated Greeks. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 respect to turkic history tho

[@leventerylmaz5901]

Not trying to be a supremacist, but Turkic languages must be much older than this. There are Turkic loanwords in proto samoyedic and proto tocharian, indicates this.

[@leventerylmaz5901]

Also respect you too ❤

The Huns were more likely Tungusic / Yeniseian

directly Turk

[@Tokyo2905]

The Turks tribe appeared in Tanais in Ukraine in 450 BC. Birth, Indo-European demagogues want to push the Turks east in order to expand the lands of their Indo-European ancestors.

[@Crxyzen1]

Do you have any sources about these Turkic peoples? I'm really curious.

Посочете един източник, че българите са били тюркоговорящи!

Поздрави от Волжка България-Чувашия. Съжалявам за граматиката, използвам google преводач. В момента сте славяни и не говорите стария дунавски български. Част от тюркските ви предци са били асимилирани от славянските ви предци, това е нормално. Когато Велика България (държава на територията на днешна Украйна и Кубан) се разпада през 671 г., част от великите българи се преселват към река Волга и образуват държавата Волжка България - ние сме чуваши. Друга част от великобългарите се преселват на територията на вашата страна и образуват Дунавска България. Но с течение на времето дунавските българи са асимилирани от славяните и езикът се губи.
