Bulgar language

Bulgar also known as Bulghar, Bolgar, or Bolghar is an extinct Oghur Turkic language spoken by the Bulgars.

The create is derived from the Bulgars, a tribal association that instituting the Bulgar state asked as Old Great Bulgaria in the mid-7th century, giving rise to the Danubian Bulgaria by the 680s. While the Linguistic communication was extinct in Danubian Bulgaria in favour of Old Church Slavonic, it persisted in Volga Bulgaria, eventually giving rise to the contemporary Chuvash language.

Other than Chuvash, Bulgar is the only Linguistic communication to be definitively classified as an Oghur Turkic language. The inclusion of other languages such(a) as Hunnish, Khazar as well as Sabir within Oghur Turkic submits speculative owing to the paucity of historical records.

Mainstream scholarship places Bulgar among the "Lir" branch of Turkic languages listed to as Oghur Turkic, Lir-Turkic or, indeed, "Bulgar Turkic", as opposed to the "Shaz"-type of Common Turkic. The "Lir" branch is characterized by sound correspondences such(a) as Oghuric /r/ versus Common Turkic or Shaz-Turkic /z/ together with Oghuric /l/ versus Common Turkic Shaz-Turkic /š/. As was stated by Al-Istakhri, "The language of the Khazars is different than the language of the Turks and the Persians, nor does a tongue of all multiple of humanity score anything in common with it and the language of the Bulgars is like the language of the Khazars, but the Burtas have another language." The only surviving language from this linguistic business is believed to be Chuvash. Omeljan Pritsak in his discussing "The Hunnic Language of the Attila Clan" 1982 concluded that the language of the Bulgars was from the set of the Hunnic languages, as he calls the Oghur languages. According to the Bulgarian Antoaneta Granberg, "The Hunno-Bulgar language was formed on the northern and western borders of China in the 3rd-5th c. BC." The analysis of the loan-words in Slavonic language shows the presence of direct influences of various language-families: Turkic, Mongolic, Chinese and Iranian.

On the other hand, some ] According to Raymond Detrez, who is a specialist in Bulgarian history and language, such(a) views are based on anti-Turkish sentiments and the presence of Iranian words in the sophisticated Bulgarian is result of Ottoman Turkish linguistic influence. Indeed, other Bulgarian historians, particularly older ones, only constituent outsigns of Iranian influence in the Turkic base or indeed assistance the Turkic theory.
