Description

Helsinki, Mémoires de la Société Finno-Ougrienne, 2012Some Persian loan words in the Chulym Turkic dialects have already been discussed by Marek Stachowski (1992–93). Since the Chulym lexical material used as a basis for the discussion there has been extracted only from one monograph by Birjukovič (see LJČ in Sources), we would like to complete his treatment of loan words using sources available to us at present, including the most recent publication by Li Yong-Sŏng (see SMČ in Sources).The present article can be seen only as a preliminary study of the problem. We shall present here those Chulym words whose etymology is not problematic in order to estimate their number and to make further analyses possible. Since direct borrowing from Iranian languages into Chulym is not possible, we must assume Turkic, Turkic–Russian or possibly Mongolic mediation for such words. We therefore point here to the most probable, i.e. Persian source for them.
