  • SOME NOTES on the ETYMOLOGY of the WORD Altai / Altay Altai/Altay Kelimesinin Etimolojisi Üzerine Notlar
    ........... SOME NOTES ON THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD altai / altay Altai/Altay Kelimesinin Etimolojisi Üzerine Notlar Hüseyin YILDIZ*1 Dil Araştırmaları, Bahar 2017/20: 187-201 Öz: Günümüzde Altay Dağları’nı adlandırmada kullanılan altay kelimesine tarihî Türk lehçelerinde bu fonetik biçimiyle rastlanmamaktadır. Bize göre altay kelimesinin altun kelimesiyle doğrudan ilgisi vardır. Ancak bunu daha net bir şekilde görebilmek için şu iki soruyu cevaplandırmak gerekir: i) altun kelimesi, Altay dağları için kullanılan adlandırmalarda yer almakta mıdır? ii) İkinci hecedeki /u/ ~ /a/ ve /n/ ~ /y/ denklikleri fonetik olarak açıklanabilir mi? Bu makalede altay kelimesinin etimolojisi fonetik (/n/ ~ /y/ ve /a/~ /u/), semantik (altun yış, chin-shan, altun owla…) ve leksik (Altun Ğol, Altan Ḫusu Owla…) yönlerden tartışılacaktır. Bize göre hem Eski Türkçe altay kelimesinin tarihinden hem de ‘Altay Dağları’ için kullanılan kelimelerden hareketle, kelimenin en eski şekli *paltuń şeklinde tasarlanabilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türk yazı dilleri, Eski Türkçe, etimoloji, altay kelimesi, yer adları, Altay Dağları Abstract: The word altay is an oronym referring to Altai Mountains, but it, in this phonological form, is not attested to have existed in early Turkic works. We consider that the word altay is directly related with the word altun. However, to see this clearer we must answer following two questions: i) Is the word altun used for any denominating system of the Altay Mountains? and ii) Could the equivalencies between /u/ ~ /a/ and between /n/ ~ /y/ phonemes on the second syllable be explained phonologically? This article aims to discuss the etymology of the word altai in following respects: phonologically (/n/ ~ /y/ and /a/~ /u/), semantically (altun yış, chin- shan, altun owla…) and lexically (Altun Ğol, Altan Ḫusu Owla…).

    Typography and Education http://www.typoday.in Bringing Ol Chiki to the digital world Saxena, Pooja, [email protected] Panigrahi, Subhashish, Programme Officer, Access to Knowledge, Center for Internet and Society, Bengaluru (India), [email protected] Abstract: Can a typeface turn the fate of an indigenous language around by making communication possible on digital platforms and driving digital activism? In 2014, a project was initiated with financial support from the Access to Knowledge programme at The Center for Internet and Society, Bangalore to look for answers to this question. The project’s goal was to design a typeface family supporting Ol Chiki script, which is used to write Santali, along with input methods that would make typing in Ol Chiki possible. It was planned that these resources would be released under a free license, with the hope to provide tools to Santali speakers to read and write in their own script online. Key words: Ol Chiki script, typeface design, minority script, Santali language 1. Introduction The main aim of this paper is to share the experiences and knowledge gained by working on a typeface and input method design project for a minority script from India, in this case Ol Chiki, which is used to write Santali. This project was initiated by the Access to Knowledge programme at the Center for Internet and Society (CIS-A2K, whose mandate is to work towards catalysing the growth of the free and open knowledge movement in South Typography Day 2016 1 Asia and in Indic languages. From September 2012, CIS has been actively involved in growing the open knowledge movement in India through a grant received from the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF).
