A bibliography essay on iranian turk dialects
Abstract
Iran is among the countries with the highest Turkic population. The fact that the country was ruled by the Turkic states for centuries and its location have enabled many important works in the Turkic world to emerge from these lands. The dense Turkic population living in the Iran and the importance of the Iranian geography in the Turkic history have attracted the attention of many researchers. Consisting of different groups of Turks, the Iranian Turks have been the subject of many studies. Especially, studies on the Iranian Turks have increased recently. In this study, the works written about the Turks of Iran and their languages are included. The examined studies were divided into two groups; sources that generally take all the Turkic groups in Iran, regardless of any dialect, were placed in the first group and in the second group, the sources examining the Turkic dialects in the Iran were discussed under the titles Azerbaijan Turks, Turkmen Turks, Qashqai Turks, Khalaj Turks and Khorasan Turks. Each title was classified under three separate subtitles as books, articles and theses. The literature of Iranian Turkic dialects were excluded from the subject of this article. In this paper, a general bibliography of books, papers, and thesis in Iran and Turkey was tried to be formed in a historical order.
