Telengit is a Turkic language spoken in the Altai Republic in Russia by the Telengits.

The Telengit are also known as the Telengit-kiji or Chui-kiji.

Internal classification[edit]

It is classified as a Siberian Turkic language. It is considered to be a dialect of the Southern Altai language, along with the Teleut and the literary varieties.

Dialects[edit]

The Telengit language can be divided into two main dialects, the Telengit-Teles and Chui dialects.

Linguistic characteristics[edit]

The Telengit language differs from the literary form of the Altai language in phonetics and morphology.

Instead of the initial [ш], [ч] is used. For example, Telengit "чирдек", Altay: ширдек, English: felt carpet. Also, in the roots of words, [ш] is used instead of [ч] (Telengit "тепчи", Altay: тепши, English: bowl)

Alphabet[edit]

An alphabet for the Ulagan dialect was proposed in 2016.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
