Turkish Language Structure in the Interpretation of Local Intellectuals

Abstract

Although rich material has been collected on the history of
Turkic linguistics, the works of local authors on the Turkic (Uzbek)
language at the beginning of the 20th century still need to be studied. True,
although we do not consider the work that is the object of our research
in this work as a full-fledged scientific work, as the first work created in
the Uzbek language of this period in linguistics, it is important for science
and for giving a critical assessment to it. we would be kidding. The work
is called «Turkish rule», but it is based on the facts of the Uzbek language.
It was known that at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the
20th century, the concept of Central Asian languages prevailed, and the
use of the concept of «Turkish language» rather than the name of concrete
languages was widespread. Because of this, Muhammad Karimkhoja
was forced to name this work as above, and he used the Uzbek language
in it, including, in part, the materials of the Tashkent dialect, but he did
not use the term Uzbek anywhere in the work. The work mainly reflects
the grammatical structure of the Uzbek language, but it belongs to the
category of theoretically empty works. It could be studied only in this
period as a grammatical work created in one of the Turkic languages.
