Introduction
I'm really interested in working on languages in the Turkic family, and I'm planning on working with William and Visnuk. My preference for which language is:
- Uyghur
- Shor
- Dolgan
Uyghur
- Uyghur is a language spoken by the Uyghur minority group in the Xinjiang autonomous region of China
- Uyghur has around 8-12 million speakers
- It is an agglutinative language with no grammatical gender or definiteness, as well as features such as elision and vowel harmony
- It uses a modified Arabic alphabet
- Many Uyghur speakers also speak Chinese, or another minority language from the region such as Uzbek or Kazakh
Dolgan
- Dolgan is a severely endangered Turkic language spoken in the Taymyr peninsula in Russia
- It uses the Cyrillic alphabet
- Dolgan has around 930 speakers
- Its ISO code is dlg
- One of the reasons why the number of speakers is decreasing is because of the poor linguistic integration among families with mixed marriages
- The language has 3 main dialects, and is also similar enough to Yakut to be mutually intelligible
- Noun categories are determined by number, possession, and case
- It has eight grammatical cases
- Many loan words come from Russian vocabulary
- Some sources include [1] [2],,
