The names of animals (mushel) on the twelve-year cycle in the historical vocabulary of the language

Abstract

In the article, with examples taken from ancient dictionaries and scientific works, a special place is given to the Kazakh calendar in the Kazakh cultural tradition - the twelve-year reckoning of Mushel, which is an example of the ancient Kazakh language dating back thousands of years. This model is compared with other related Turkic languages, the Turkic-Mongolian language associations. An analysis of the languages of related countries revealed the main patterns in the nomination of the twelve-years that make up Mushel.
