Book information
Description
Swarthmore College, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, 2004. — 18 p.This paper is dedicated to the great Andreas P. Dulson, who pioneered the study of the Chulym Turkic language in the middle of the 20th century. Middle Chulym, the easternmost of the two Chulym Turkic languages is one of the least well-known of Central Siberian languages. In the Russian linguistic tradition, the languages of the Middle Chulym and the Lower Chulym are regarded as dialects of one language, called Chulym Turkic (in Russian, chulymsko-tjurkskij jazyk). The Lower Chulym or Küärik-Käzik people were distributed in the northern and western part of the Chulym territory, in the villages of Tan’kij, Minaevka, and Perevoz near the city of Tomsk. The traditional center of the Küärik (or ‘chipmunk’) speakers was along the Kija river, while the Käzik were found mostly near the town of Mariinsk.
