Abstract

This article is about a classification status of the Teleut language according to the Leipzig–Jakarta list. The Teleuts are the Turkic people located in southwestern Siberia, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. According to the 2010 census, there were 2,643 Teleuts in Russia.

Materials and methods. Research materials are words of the Leipzig–Jakarta list of the Turkic languages. These most resistant words were written out from the dictionaries and publications. The Leipzig–Jakarta list is a 100 word list to test the degree of a relationship of the languages. In this survey the comparative method is used as the main one. A quantitative method is applied to count the similarities and discrepancies in the Leipzig-Jakarta list of the Teleut idiom in comparison with the Oghuz and Kipchak languages. Also different data to study the classification status of the Teleut idiom are employed.

Discussions. Teleut as the Altai language dialect was previously considered to belong to the Kipchak languages according to Baskakov’s conception. On the other hand, according to Mudrak’s opinion Teleut was included into the Siberian group of the Turkic languages together with Khakass, Shor, Saryg-Yughur, Yakut, Tuvinian, Altai and others.

Conclusions. Authors come to conclusion that the Teleut language is of the Kipchak Turkic language origin according to the Leipzig–Jakarta list. Also the Teleut language has its own linguistic (phonetic and lexical) features that differ it from the Altai language and this fact proves including the Teleut language to peripheral group along with the Kyrghyz and Altai languages.
