Abstract

The studying of the case category in the Old Turkic language has a long history in linguistics. This category, which is important in the sentence structure of Turkic languages, is thoroughly examined in most grammars and monographs of a general character. Despite this, there are very few researches on the case paradigm of nominal declension. Studies on the language of one of the small and poorly studied groups of the corpus of runic texts – Central Asian findings are very few as well. None of the scientists have yet conducted special research on the case category in them, have not reconstructed their case system.This article is dedicated to filling this gap to some extent. It discusses about the case forms in Turkic runiform inscriptions from Central Asia. The attempt to reconstruct the case system of Turkic dialects spread in the region has been taken on the basis of the collected data.According to the taken results, there were six case forms in Turkic runiform inscriptions from Central Asia of VIII century. All of them are similar with the forms that were identified in other corpuses of documents in Old Turkic language – Orkhon and Yenisey texts.At the same time, some of case forms determined in Orkhon and Yenisey texts were not found in mentioned inscriptions. The article contains some versions of explanation for this situation.
