Özet:

Great Uzbek poet and thinker Alisher Navoiy carried out artistic creativity and scientific activities and wrote a number of risales (letters). In the work “Mohakemat al-lugateyn” written by the poet at the end of his life was dealt with interesting and valuable thoughts about linguistics and turkology. Author in his work compared the Tukish language with Persian and noted that there is no equivalent of one hundred verbs of his native language in Pesrian language. In addition in the risales (letters) is emphasized that there is no equivalent of a number of ethnographic words in Persian language and for this reason they are transferred to that language as they were. One of Navoiy’s interesting ideas in his work as linguist-turkologist is that he brought forward some morphological features and word-building power of Turkish languange. Navoiy showed to his Turkish-speaking compatriots that Turkish language for a number of features is superior to Persian and called them to write in their native language.
