Abstract

Relevance. The relevance of this paper lies in the necessity to develop and popularise the Kyrgyz language among the younger generation to preserve the Kyrgyz national culture.

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to analyse ancient Kyrgyz words and texts, compare them with other words where the origin matches contemporary terms, and utilise this information in teaching the history of the Kyrgyz language in schools.

Methodology. The following methods were employed in this study: structural-functional method, dialectical method, synthesis method, logical and comparative analysis, and the method of generalisation.

Results. The study established that the Kyrgyz language is ancient, although some works indicate that Kyrgyz script emerged after joining the Soviet Union. Ancient Kyrgyz is the language of the Yenisei Kyrgyz people. Similarities between the ancient meanings of ancient terms and the meanings used today were observed by comparing ancient words found in written sources with words in modern Kyrgyz language, vocabulary, and literature or studies.

Conclusions. When learning a language in educational institutions, it is essential to pay more attention to explaining lexical, grammatical, phonetic differences, and similarities. Considering that people in different regions speak different dialects, a system of diverse exercises should be developed. The practical value of this study lies in the fact that all theoretical principles, conclusions, and recommendations can be used in educational institutions by teachers and students to enhance their knowledge of the history of the Kyrgyz language and other researchers for detailed investigation of this issue.

Keywords: Orkhon-Yenisei alphabet; Turkic language; Yenisei script; educational process; literary sector
