Abstract

In the V century, the entire steppe belt from the Danube to the Irtysh was under Turkic rule or influence. Old Turkic is used for all Turkic variants in this wide region and time period. Old Turkic is divided into two: Western and Eastern. Oghurs, one of the Old West Turks who had a deep-rooted presence in Eastern Europe, had political formations; After the dominance of the Avars in Central Europe; when Greater Bulgaria in the north of the Black Sea collapsed under the pressure of the Khazars, two Bulgarian states were established, the Volga and Danube Bulgarian states. The parallelism between these two Bulgarian formations can also be seen during the Mongol invasion, when many Kipchaks took refuge in both of them. The Oghur period was followed by the Kipchak-Oghuz period. Emphasis is placed on determining the method of researching language transformation over a wide period of time; Attention is drawn to the commonality of Khwarezmian dialects on the one hand and Rumelia dialects on the other.
