Abstract

The Shor are a small indigenous people of Western Siberia. In total, there are 13 thousand representatives of this nation in the world. The ethnos was formed in the 6-9 centuries. Kuzbass – the largest coal cluster in Russia – is a home for a significant part of the Shor population, being the indigenous minority of the region. The development of mining operations (mainly coal and iron ore mining) negatively affects the territory of the Shor people habitation. Therefore, the preservation of their cultural traditions, including the original language, is an important part of the sustainable development of the mining region Kuzbass. The suggested study is based on the Shor language material, which belongs to the Turkic branch of the Altai language family. The purpose of the study is to describe the synthetic type of complex sentences in the Shor language, which is designed to help preserve their culture in the system of sustainable development of Kuzbass.

Summary

Introduction

Until 1926, all the tribal groups of the Shors were called Tadar-Kizhi, which means “Tatar man”. The name "Shors" stuck to the people after the 18th century, as they were called by the Khakass and Altaians. The Russians called the people “Kuznetsk Tatars”, “Abintsy, Mras and Kondomsky Tatars”. The main occupation of the Shor people until the 19th century was iron forging and smelting. It is the Shors who are the indigenous founders of the mining cluster in Kuzbass. From the 18th century, they began to sell iron products to Russian merchants, who called them Kuznetsk people, and the places where they lived, Kuznetsk land ( it is Kuzbass)
