Özet:

Even though the texts of Karakhanid Turkic belong to the Islamic cultural area, it is seen that the traces of the Arab–Persian cultural environment are not yet comprehensively expressed in these texts, and that the ancient elements in terms of vocabulary persist to a great extent. Over the years, the Arab–Persian cultural environment has affected the Turkic culture, and this has also been reflected in its vocabulary. In this study, the existence and meaning of words whose origins are mostly foreign to Turkic ajun~acun, baçak, bor, burhan, çın, didim, erdini, nāg, nigoşak, nom, muyan, soyurka-, tamu, tıldag, toyın, üjük etc. that belong to the pre-Islamic culture are found in Manichaean and Buddhist Uyghur texts, in such a way that it became known by the term Manichaeism and Buddhism or found existence in this cultural environment, in the texts of the Islamic period that have been examined. The words used in Uyghur texts, mostly of foreign origin, are also used in Karakhanid Turkic texts, despite the change in religion and the cultural environment that developed historically. This situation is a sign of a transitional stage. These words which were found in Karakhanid texts were echoed in historical Turkish written languages. It has been observed that some of these words continued to exist for a while in historical Turkic written languages.
