Map of the distribution of Common Turkic Languages across Eurasia | |
Common Turkic, orShaz Turkic, is ataxon in some classifications of theTurkic languages that includes all of them except theOghuric languages which had diverged earlier.
Lars Johanson's proposal contains the following subgroups:[1][2]
In that classification scheme, Common Turkic is opposed to theOghuric languages (Lir-Turkic). The Common Turkic languages are characterized by sound correspondences such as Common Turkicš versus Oghuricl and Common Turkicz versus Oghuricr.
Siberian Turkic is split into a "Central Siberian Turkic" and "North Siberian Turkic" branch within the classification presented inGlottolog v4.8.[3]
In other classification schemes (such as those ofAlexander Samoylovich andNikolay Baskakov), the internal classification is different.[4][5]
