ALI SHIR NAVÂYÎ’S INFLUENCE ON THE TURKIC WORLD

Abstract

In terms of linguistic geography, it is possible to divide the contemporary Turkic world into two as the Northern Turkic World, where Kipchak dialects are spoken, and the Southern Turkic World, where Oghuz dialects are spoken. Again, in terms of linguistic geography, it is possible to divide the Southern Turkic world into two parts as the South East Turkic world and the South West Turkic world. In this case, there are Uzbek and Uyghurs in the South-East Turkic world, and the Turks of Turkey and Azerbaijani Turks in the South-West Turkic World. Scholars have determined the language border of South East Turkish and South West Turkish as Khorasan. It is known that nazires were written on Ali Shir Navâyî in these geographies. In this article, the influence of Navâyî on the Turkish world is emphasized, and examples of the poems written by the poets are given under the titles of parallels of Navâyî Poems by Anatolian Poets and Azerbaijan Poets.
