Telengit is a Turkic language spoken in the Altai Republic in Russia by the Telengits.[2] It is widespread in the Kosh-Agach and Ulagan districts of the Altai Republic.[1]

The Telengit are also known as the Telengit-kiji or Chui-kiji.

Classification

[edit]

It is classified as a Kyrgyz-Kipchak. It is considered to be a dialect of the Southern Altai language, along with the Teleut and the literary varieties.

Dialects

[edit]

The Telengit language can be divided into two main dialects, the Telengit-Teles and Chui dialects.

The Telengit-Teles dialect can be subdivided in to the following subdialects:

  • Balyktuyul
  • Kara-Kudyur
  • Chibilin
  • Saratan-Yazulin
    • Saratan
    • Yuzulin
  • Cholushman
  • Chibit

The Chui dialect can be subdivided in to the following subdialects:[3]

  • Kosh-Agach
  • Jazzator - This subdialect has a unique feature that is not typical of other dialects of the Altaic language: affixes with a wide rounded vowel [ӧ] occur after bases with a narrow rounded vowel [ӱ].

Comparison with standard Altai

[edit]

The Telengit language differs from the literary form of the Altai language in phonetics and morphology.

Instead of the initial [ш], [ч] is used. For example, Telengit чирдек (çirdek), Altay: ширдек 'felt carpet'. Also, in the roots of words, [ш] is used instead of [ч] (Teleñit тепчи (tepçi), Altay: тепши 'bowl').[4]

The sounds [ф], [в], [ш], [ж], [щ], [ц] are not native Telengit and are found mainly in borrowings from the Russian language.[1]

Alphabet

[edit]

An alphabet for the Ulagan dialect was proposed in 2016.[5]
