Abstract
The paper analyzes the graphic and lexical-grammatical features of the use of the medieval written monument «Khusrau ua Shyryn» Kutba. The main feature of this monument is the presence in the alphabetic system of harakats (super-letter and sub-letter signs) and their use instead of several sounds. Not only Arabic but also Persian graphemes are also used. The lexical composition of the monument is very complex. It contains Kypchak, Karluk, Oguz, Arabic, Persian words, as well as archaic elements. Arabic and Persian phrases are used. From a grammatical point of view, the Kypchak or Oguz vocabulary prevails. The parallel use of grammatical endings of the Oguz and Kypchak forms is used. Which of the dialects (Kypchak, Oguz, or Karluk) the language of the monument predominates is determined on the basis of a linguostatistical analysis of each grammatical form? To this day, there is no consensus on the linguistic affiliation of this monument. Some scientists claim that the monument was written in Kypchak-Oguz, and some believe that in the Oguz-Kypchak language. the article discusses these issues in detail and analyzes specific examples.
