Abstract
The purpose of the work is to analyze the ethnographic features of the manuscript of one of the medieval manuscripts "at – Tukhfa Az-Zakiya phil lugatit turkiya" (translation "gift for the Turkic people"). Several medieval manuscripts were written in the Mamluk-Kipchak language. The purpose of these manuscripts was to teach the Kipchak language to the Arab people, that is, to the Egyptians. Although the vast majority of manuscripts consist only of a dictionary part, that is, a list of words, you can also find manuscripts that also had grammatical and phonetic sections. The phonetic section relatively described the sound differences between the Arabic alphabet and the Kipchak Alphabet in writing. In addition, the grammar sections of the Kipchak language explained the grammar of the Kipchak language in Arabic, comparing the Arabic and Kipchak languages. As tasks of the study, a description of the history of the study, translations of the medieval manuscript "at-Tukhfa", written in this form, is given and analyzed. Research, scientific works from the time of its first popularity in science are presented in a series. Focusing on the structure and translation of the manuscript, he focused on the language units in the monument. The article uses such methods as comparative analysis, description, translation of ethnography. Because the manuscript" at-Tukhfa " is one of the works that widely describes ethnographisms. The novelty is the analysis of words with cultural baggage and comparison with other Turkic languages for the first time. The equivalent of ethnography with a cultural context was shown, translating the comments given by the author of the manuscript. As a result, an explanation of the nature of ethnographisms is given, and it is established that the place of residence, the economy in which the people were engaged, and the culture leave their mark.
