Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of the Bulgaro-Tatar literary language. In the course of studying the history of the Kushan toponym functioning, we suggested our own version concerning the origin of the Tokuz-Oghuz elements in the literary language of the Volga Bulgaria. In previous scientific research, the originality of the Bulgarian literary language was associated only with the influence of the Karakhanids’ literary language. Based on the analysis of a number of historical sources, the work proves that the Toguz-Oghuzes (> Uyguro-Oghuz) penetrated into the Volga Bulgaria from the south-east and mixed up with the local population. The article shares the hypothesis, put forward by J. Almaz, that the “mixed language” of “Kyissai-Yusuf” in the Middle Volga region is partly explained by the possible appearance of Oghuz-Uighurs along with the Kypchaks in the pre-Mongol time. The work proves that the appearance of a significant layer of the Oghuz-Uyghur vocabulary in the Bulgaro-Tatar literary language and in the colloquial speech of the local population is a direct consequence of the Toguz-Oghuzes’ penetration into the territory of the Middle Volga region.
