Abstract:

A new period began with the adoption, acceptance and spread of Islam by the Turks, which significantly overlapped with the old Turkish beliefs. With the Islamization movement that officially started during the Karakhanids State, the first Muslim Turkish state, the first works of Islamic Turkish Literature began to be given. The first and most comprehensive of these is Kutadgu Bilig. Kutadgu Bilig, written by Yusuf Has Hacip, was presented to Tavgaç Buğra Khan and attracted great attention. The value of this religious work, written in Karakhanid Turkish, has survived among Turks until today. The new religion brought with it many innovations in life, culture, literature, language, belief, worship and alphabet, and this was reflected in the works of the period. Some of the words related to belief and worship in the work are used in Anatolian dialects today. In this study, the images of some words related to the concept of belief and worship used in Kutadgu Bilig in the dialects of Turkish dialects of Turkey were investigated. It is analyzed whether the words in the work are included in the Turkish Folk Dialect Compilation Dictionary, and if so, their derivations, structures, sound and meaning changes.
