  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Hindi, an Indo-European language, is the official language of India, spoken by about 40% of the more than one billion citizens of India. It is also the official language in certain of the territories where a sizeable diaspora settled such as the Republic of Mauritius1. But the label ‘Hindi’ covers considerably distinct speeches, as evidenced by the number of regional varieties covered by the category Hindi in the various Censuses of India: 91 mother tongues in the 1961 Census, up to 331 languages or speeches according to Srivastava 1994, totalizing to six hundred millions speakers (Bhatia 1987: 9). On the other end, the notion that Standard Hindi, more or less corresponding to the variety used in written literature and media, does not exist as a mother tongue, has gained currency during the seventies and eighties: according to Gumperz & Naim (1960), modern standard Hindi is a second or third speech for most of its speakers, being a native language for a small section of the urban population, which until recently was itself a small minority of the global Indian population. However, due to the rapid increase in this urban population, Hindi native speakers can no longer be considered as a non-significant minority, as noticed by Ohala (1983) and Singh & Agnihotri (1997). Many scholars still consider that the modern colloquial language, used for instance in popular movies, does not differ from modern colloquial Urdu. Similarly, many consider that the higher registers of both languages are still only two styles of one and the same language. According to Abdul Haq (1961), “the language we speak and write and call by the name Urdu today is derived from Hindi and constituted of Hindi”.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus (1922) ⸪ In the last decades of the nineteenth century, Indians effectively stopped producing Persian prose after over eight hundred years of using the language for literature, statecraft, and science.1 At the public level, the obvious turning point was Persian’s administrative replacement by the East India Company with English and the vernaculars between 1832 and 1837.2 As Tariq Rahman This essay is dedicated to the memory of Omar Khalidi with whom I had hoped to write a short book about travelers from his beloved Hyderabad.

Persian, Farsi, Dari, Tajiki: Language Names and Language Policies Abstract Persian is an important language today in a number of countries of west, south and central Asia. But its status in each is different. In Iran its unique status as the only official or national language continueso t be jealously guarded, even though half—probably more—of the population use a different language (mainly Azari/Azeri Turkish) at home, and on the streets, though not in formal public situations, and not in writing. Attempts to broach this exclusive status of Persian in Iran have increased in recent decades, but are still relatively minor. Persian (called tajiki) is also the official language ofajikistan, T but here it shares that status informally with Russian, while in the west of the country Uzbek is also widely used and in the more isolated eastern part of the country other local Iranian languages are now dominant.

  • Turkic Lexical Elements in the Bulgarian Language DOI
    Albina G. Khayrullina-Valieva* Turkic Lexical Elements in the Bulgarian Language DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/LC.2020.015 This article is devoted to the study of Turkic loan words in the vocabulary of the Bulgarian language. „By Turkic lexical elements we mean all the originally Turkic words that entered the Bulgarian language from any Turkic language, and words of any other origin (Arabic, Persian, Greek, Italian, etc.), that have entered the Bulgarian language through the Turkic languages” (Czumbałowa 1986: 8). Famous Bulgarian scholar Samuel Bernstein points out that the beginning of a serious study of Turkism in the Bulgarian language was set by Franz Xaver Ritter von Miklosich with his fundamental researchDie türkischen Elemente in der südost- und osteuropäischen Sprachen. He distinguished three periods of intensive influence of Turkic-speaking peoples on the languages of south-Eastern and Eastern Europe: the initial period – the first centuries of our era; the second period – at the end of 7th century; the third 205 period – the arrival and settlement of Ottoman Turks in the Balkans. This influence was not limited only to lexical borrowings, but there are also traces of the influence of Turkic speech on word formation and syntax. So far the periodization proposed by Nikolay Baskakov has been the most successful. According to it, the first period was characterized by „the penetration of the Hun tribes 1(33) 2020 into Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region, the earliest of which are known as the Huns, Avars, Sabirs, Suvars, etc., and at a later time, beginning with the 4th–5th centuries AD, under the name of the Bulgars and Khazars”.
