||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The oldest inscription in the Türkic alphabet, the Issyk Inscription, written on a flat silver drinking cup, was found in 1970 in a royal tomb located within Balykchy ( Issyk), a town in Kyrgyzstan near Lake Issyk, and was dated by 5-th c. BC. The first known inscription in the related Karosthi script was found in Pakistan and dates to 251 BC. A.Amanjolov's study, in particular, addressed the putative origins of the eastern Türkic alphabets, and came to a conclusion that Aramean origin theory is contradicted by elements of the alphabet that demonstrate much deeper roots, displaying a common origin with the Phoenician, Aramean, and South Semitic alphabets. The parallels between the Türkic and these three alphabets seem to confirm the evolutionary concept and provisions analyzed by Isaac Taylor and published in his book "The Alphabet" in the 1883 (Vol.1) and in the 1899 (Vol.2). During the millenniums of their history on the expanses of Eurasia, the Türkic-speaking people also used other systems of writing. |
