housand years ago, Turkic words are found in Akkadian texts. The well-known Turkish linguist
Osman Nedim Tunan, as well as his mentor the German Assur-Sumerologist Bern Landsberg, proved
that Turkisms also exist in Mesopotamian-Sumerian texts.
In modern Turkology, attempts are being made to prove that 2300-2400 years ago, native
speakers of the Turkic language arose in southern China. And after that they separated from the Altai
roots. While in the Akkadian language there are words of Turkic origin (for example: eqru=əyri;
tuppuşu= toppuş; qabaqu= qabaq,ön, which are used in the modern Azeri Turkic language.
Turkisms are used in almost all continents. There are suggestions that tribes such as Maya,
Sioux, Quechua are of Turkic origin. Vocabulary confirms this: saqla = sakal; pak=bak; kok=gok
(Quechua); ik = iki; ket = ket; ari=arık (Sioux); oş=üç; ik=iki (Maya).
The ancient Etruscan language, like the Russian language, is rich in Turkic words, and even
many scholars consider it one of the Turkic languages.
If we talk about Russian, then it is considered that this is the most reliable defender of Turkic
words. There are hundreds of words related to fishing, cattle breeding, army, life, etc. loshad (horse)
= losh at; tovarish (friend) = davar eş; karakul = kara gül; karandash (pencil) = kara daş).
Previously, some Russian surnames ended with Turkic genitive endings -ın, - in: Karamzin =
Kara-mirze / nin, and this indicated which generation this person belongs to.
There are also some Turkic words in English, for example, body= bədən, brain= beyin.
