Abstract

Honorary member of the Russian (USSR) Academy of Sciences, Turkic scholar, highly cultured and encyclopedically literated, talented researcher of folklore and history of the Chuvash people N.I. Ashmarin is one of the scientists who devote all their rich abilities to studying the Chuvash language, history and culture.
The study of onomatopoeic words in Turkology begins with the works of N.I. Ashmarin, who wrote a number of works on this topic and studied imitation words of the Azerbaijani language along with other Turkic languages. He was the author of the articles “On the dictionary of Turkish dialects”, “Instructions for the program for collecting materials of Azerbaijani-Turkish folk dialects”, “On a trip to Nukha to collect materials of folk dialects”. The compilation of living Azerbaijani dialects is the first of the measures taken in this area.
In the field of dialectology, N.I. Ashmarin studied phonetics and grammar, as well as the intonation of Azerbaijani dialects. His 1926 work entitled “General overview of the Turkic folk dialects of the city of Nukha” is one of the first steps in the study of Azerbaijani dialects.
