TheUral-Volga Turki[1] (Old Bashkir[2]or Old Tatar) language was a literary language used by some ethnic groups of theIdel-Ural region (Tatars andBashkirs) from the middle of the 13th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
Ural-Volga Turki is a member of theKipchak (orNorthwestern) group ofTurkic languages. The first poem, considered to be written byQul Ghali in Ural-Volga Turki dates back to the period ofVolga Bulgaria andAncient Bashkortostan. It included manyPersian andArabic loans.
In its written form, the language was spelled uniformly among different ethnic groups, speaking different Turkic languages of the Kipchak sub-group. The pronunciation differed from one people to another, approximating to the spoken language, making the written form universal for different languages.
The language formerly usedArabic script and its later updated alphabets ofİske imlâ andYaña imlâ. Ural-Volga Turki language was a language ofIdel-Ural poetry and literature. Along withOttoman Turkish,Azeri,Khaqani Turkic andChagatai, it was one of the few Turkic literary languages used in the Middle Ages.[3] It was actively used in publishing until 1905, when the first Tatar and Bashkir newspapers begun to be published in modernTatar andBashkir language.
