I open this page with a
Comparative Chart Table of Turanian (200-150 BC to 10
c AD) and Türkic (Kök-Türk, 8 c AD)
alphabets, developed by Azgar Mukhamadiev. It compares alphabets separated by
centuries, enormous distances, and connected with different historical
personalities. The Türkic alphabet, published in 1730 and deciphered by
V. Tomsen in 1893, is well known for more than a century. The deciphering of
the inscriptions in the Turanian alphabet by A. Mukhamadiev cracked open a
window into the history, life, and religions of the Central Asian and N.
Pontic area of the period that includes the European Hunnish Empire. The oldest inscription read the Türkic alphabet, the Issyk Inscription, written on a flat silver drinking cup, was found in 1970 in a royal tomb located within Balykchy (Issyk), a town in Kyrgyzstan near Lake Issyk, and was typologically dated by the 5th c. BC. The first known inscription in the related Karosthi script was found in Pakistan and dates to 251 BC. The inscriptions in Türkic alphabet were not limited to Türkic languages, as is evidenced by Slavic inscriptions of the pre-Glagolic time (before 9 c.). It is also notable that the emergence of the Nordic runic script roughly coincides with the expansion of the Hunnic Empire into the N. Europe and Scandinavia. The latest preserved inscription in the Türkic alphabet was found in Hungary and dates to 1699. During the millenniums of their history on the expanses of Eurasia, the Türkic-speaking people also used other systems of writing.
