Abstract
The subject of the discipline is the study of the composition of the dialect systems of the Turkic languages of the Oguz group, to which the main eastern language being studied, Turkish, belongs. The specificity of the Oghuz group of languages is that it consists mainly of idioms, including well-established and often long-history literary languages with developed dialect systems. The dialects of the Oguz languages are quite oriented according to their belonging to a completely specific language system (in contrast, for example, to the situation in the Sayan Mountains). In this case, of course, in a number of cases there is actually a situation of dialect continuity. when some dialects can be attributed, for example, to both the Turkish and Azerbaijani languages; Special attention is paid to such cases.The purpose of the discipline is to create in students a general understanding of the features of the Turkish language and its dialects against the background of the Oghuz languages that are closest to it, the main differences between dialects in the field of phonetics, morphology and vocabulary, traces of the formation of dialect systems in medieval written monuments. This information is needed both for future scientific work and for practical training in the Turkish language in the process of live communication with native speakers.
