Pecheneg is an extinctTurkic language spoken by thePechenegs inEastern Europe (parts ofSouthern Ukraine,Southern Russia,Moldova,Romania andHungary) in the 7th–12th centuries. However, names in this language (Beke, Wochun, Lechk, etc.) are reported fromHatvan until 1290.[3]
Due to poor documentation and the absence of any descendant languages, linguists have been prevented from making an accurate classification. It is placed as unclassified in theKipchak language family inGlottolog and in the Kipchak–Cuman language family inLinguist List.
Byzantine princessAnna Komnene asserts that the Pechenegs andCumans spoke the same language,[4] while Mahmud al-Kashgari considered their language to be a corrupted form of Turkic. Most contemporary researchers conclude that they spoke aCommon Turkic language.[5]
7th - 12th centuries AD.
A few Runic inscriptions have been found from Central Asia across to the Balkans indicating that the Pecenegs inhabited these areas at different times.
