@article{2019,title={LOCALIZATION OF ORTHOGRAPHY TRADITION IN 17TH-19TH CENTURY EASTERN LITERARY TURKIC},abstractNode={Eastern Literary Turkic was established after the invasion of the Mongols, in the centre of Chaghatai, Ilkhanid and Golden Horde empires which were founded by the children of Cenghis Khan in the 12th-14th century and gained a classical character in the time of Amir Timur in the 15th century. In the post-classical period in-between 1600-1921, it continued to be processed in different cultural centres of widespread geography in variable political fluctuations. It was used as literary and culture language in Central Asia till the middle of the 19th century, and has evolved into the emergence of contemporary Turkic dialects beginning from the 20th century. Although some distinctions in the eastern Turkish literary language can be observed with the influence of Oghuz-Kipchak elements up to the 15th century, the major transformations begins after the establishment of the classical structure by the increasing spread of the local elements over the literary language of the 17th century. The both usage of the classical literary language features and the local elements are observable in the writings after this century. The texts of this period have not been fully researched yet, as their atlas of dialects have not been entirely identified. Uighurs, living in East Turkestan, have received numerous writings in Eastern Turkic in-between the 15th and 20th centuries. These writings were taken away to various countries by missionaries, travellers or researchers, are nowadays in the collections of various libraries in Sweden, Russia, England and Germany. The writings are recently being studied in Turkey, Sweden, China, Uzbekistan and elsewhere. The purpose of our article is to identify the criteria of localization in the post-classical period of the Eastern Turkic by considering the distinctions in the pamphlets, tezkires and literary texts that we have focused on within this broad collection of Uighurs. },author={Serap ALPER},year={2019},journal={Turkish Studies - Language and Literature}}
