Abstract:

In most of Anatolian dialects which included in West Oghuz groups, it is known that, basically Oghuz clans, especially groups, like Avşar, Bayat, Kınık, Salur, Bayındır, are effective. When dialects in Kilis are examined by dealing with the history of the region, it seems that both of the Oghuz Clans and except Oghuz Clans, also Kıpchak Clans are effective. Among the Oghuz Clans that effective in existence of Kilis Dialects, there are Avşar, Bayat, Bozcalu, Beydili, Harbedelü, İnallı, İzzeddinli, Alayuntlu, Yüreğir and Bayındır clans. Since the longlasting effectiveness of Mamelukes, in the region that including the Kilis and called as Biladü’ş-Şam, Kıpchak Turkish also impressed. Also, Kilis Dialect shows a dialect feature that we can accept as the one of the last orbit of East Oghuzs, which is connected with İran, Iraq, Syria dialects which included in East Oghuz in West Turkish, on West Oghuzs. Four effective layers has been determined in this region. The Oghuz clans settled in this region constitutes the main layer. The secondary layer is the sporadic elements of Kıpchak Turkish elements, and the elements of İran, İrak, Syria and Azerbaijan Turkish accepted in the East Oghuz Turkish which is in the Western Turkish. Tertiary layer points out the effect of standart Turkish, and the fourth layer shows effect of neighbor languages, especially Arabic, on Kilis dialect.
