Общие фонетические особенности говоров северного диалекта азербайджанского языка в контексте влияния кыпчакской и огузской языковых групп

Abstract

We consider the general phonetic features of the northern patois (patois of the north-western group) of the Azerbaijani language. We analyze long and short vowel variants, offence of the harmony rule, sound transitions, phonetic differences created by consonant sounds in patois, as well as the characteristic features of phonetic changes in morphology and syntax in the compara-tive context of Oguz and Kipchak languages. We also address the problems of naming dialects and patois of the Azerbaijani language. We examine the specific features of the Kipchak language elements in the phonetic characteristics of the northern dialects. We determine that in the 17th-18th centuries the Azerbaijani language developed under the influence of various dialects of the Oguz and Kipchak languages, as evidenced by the peculiarities of phonetic changes. These are, in particular, the more frequent use of velar n, a lot of sonorant consonants, the replacement of the sound ə with e, more stunning vowels, etc. The analysis of the patois vocabulary of the Azerbaijani language northern dialect confirmed the opinion of researchers about the influence of migration processes and the presence of many Turkic ethnic groups in the region on these processes. Some of these features of linguistic influence are observed to this day.
