Telengit is aTurkic language spoken in theAltai Republic inRussia by theTelengits.[2] It is widespread in theKosh-Agach andUlagan districts of the Altai Republic.[1]
TheTelengit are also known as the Telengit-kiji or Chui-kiji.
It is classified as aSiberian Turkic language. It is considered to be a dialect of theSouthern Altai language, along with theTeleut and theliterary varieties.
The Telengit language can be divided into two main dialects, the Telengit-Teles and Chui dialects.
The Telengit-Teles dialect can be subdivided in to the following subdialects:
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, Telengitчирдек (çirdek),Altay:ширдек 'felt carpet'. Also, in the roots of words, [ш] is used instead of [ч] (Teleñitтепчи (tepçi),Altay:тепши 'bowl').[3]
The sounds [ф], [в], [ш], [ж], [щ], [ц] are not native Telengit and are found mainly in borrowings from the Russian language.[1]
An alphabet for the Ulagan dialect was proposed in 2016.[4]
