Toponimys with Ancient Turk Origins in the Balkans
IBAC 2012 vol.2 TOPONIMYS WITH ANCIENT TURK ORIGINS IN THE BALKANS Prof .Ass. Hajiyeva GALIBA Nakhchivan State Univresity, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract One of the sources dealing with the ancient Turkic history are toponyms. Toponymic investigations show that most of the ancient geographical names which have spread in Eurosia, in Central Asia, from North Africa, to Eastern Turkistan even in Siberia and these names were formed before Roman and Byzantine periods. So development of toponymic investigations, study of the history of Turkic peoples and scientific investigation of existing geographical names which keep the history of Turkic peoples have great significance. One of the uninvestigated fields of the Turkic history are geographical names keeping historical facts within are the holy Balkan areas. The toponymic investigations carried on the Balkans show that these territories are the places were the ancient Turkic tribes were firstly settled and possessed. This fact is proved by the Turkic tribe names and by the words of different semantic meaning of the languages of Turkic tribes. The great deal of Balkan geographical names are the names derived out of ethnoniyms thus the names reflecting ancient Turkic tribe names (Astipos//Astepe//Ishtip, Izletdere, Vardar, Sofular, Gilan, Sahsuvar kariyesi, Kosalar village, Tatarli kariyesi, in the Kosova, Uskup, Usturumca, Kumanova, Propishtip, Kochana, Makedonska Kamenika in Makedony, Araz district, Arazli, Azman, Cepine, Coban, Chorlu, Culfalar, Horozlar, Kangirlar, Sakarli, Sungurlar, Karuk, Kaspi, Kaz//Kas, Kazancilar, Kecililer, Kuman, Padarlar, Sofular, Tatar, Uzlar in Bulgaria) show that Balkans historically were Turkic areas. Geographical names are the real witnesses of history. We must pay great attention to the scientific investigations of the geographical names in Balkan states. -
The Case of Romanian in Kazakhstan)
International Journal of Innovation and Research in Educational Sciences Volume 7, Issue 2, ISSN (Online) : 2349–5219 The Role of Etymology in Second Language Acquisition (The Case of Romanian in Kazakhstan) Dr. Nicolae Stanciu Research center "Discourse theory and Practice", "Dunarea de Jos (Lower Danube) " University of Galati, Institute of Romanian Language, Bucharest, Romania, Buketov Karaganda State University, Kazakhstan. Date of publication (dd/mm/yyyy): 05/05/2020 Abstract – Extensive research has shown great interest in the origins and evolution of Turkic cultures and languages underlying the importance of history, language and religion in building the ethnicity of different nations in Eastern Europe. However, less attention was paid to semantic convergences, divergences and evolutions of lexical items in the conceptual metaphors and phrases recovered in Romanian culture through Turkish and other south slavic intermediaries. Accidentally encountered in etymological dictionaries and studies, the Turkic elements have not benefited yet from a multidisciplinary research meant to point out the lines of continuity between old Turkic (Pechenges, Cuman and Tatar), those of Ottoman Turkish and their reverberations in Romanian language. In fact, words almost exclusively labelled as Turkish or those with unknown and multiple etymology, preserved in Romanian as relics found in various stylistically registers (academic, archaic, colloquial, popular, regional) as well as in anthroponomy and toponymy, have been recovered in the folklore and literature of the 19th to the 21st centuries. These have been found disguised in metaphorical expressions and symbols considered relevant for the spirituality of this multicultural space. Integrated into an evolution perspective, the concepts and metaphors analysed and interpreted within this article belong to extended cultural areas, and use symbols common to extremely various linguistic groups. -

Social Change and Marriage Patterns Among Koryo Saram in Kazakhstan, 1937–1965*
Social Change and Marriage Patterns among Koryo Saram in Kazakhstan, 1937–1965* Natalya Yem and Stephen J. Epstein This article considers social forces set in motion when ethnic Koreans of the former Soviet Union (Koryo saram) were deported from the Soviet Far East to Central Asia under Stalin, treating these emerging phenomena as a context for understanding the community’s marriage patterns. Drawing on archival records from 1937 to1965 in Kazakhstan, we show how choice of marriage partner reflects changes in socioeconomic status, places of residence, gender roles and language use. Demographic data about interethnic marriages in Kazakhstan, we argue, serves as a useful tool for exploring relations between Koryo saram and the larger host society; these evolving trends in marriage patterns offer a window into the Korean diaspora experience locally and more broadly. Keywords: Korean diaspora, Koryo saram, interethnic marriage, census, Kazakhstan In recent years, scholars have turned increasing attention to the history of Koreans in the diaspora, outlining distinctive histories and patterns of settlement among Korean-Americans, Korean-Chinese (Joseonjok), Korean- Japanese (Zainichi), and Koreans of the former Soviet Union (Koryo saram) among others.1 With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of * This work was supported in part by the Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies International Scholar Exchange Fellowship for the 2011–2012 academic year. 1.

Michael Clarke* ABSTRACT Despite the turning of the international spotlight on the region courtesy of 9/11, the question as to what drives China’s power and imperatives in Central Asia (as elsewhere in the world) remain a matter of debate. This article argues that there is a largely complementary relationship between what may be termed China’s Xinjiang, Central Asia and grand strategy-derived interests. Key to balancing these interests has been Beijing’s post-1991 attempt to utilize Xinjiang’s pivotal geopolitical position to simultaneously integrate Xinjiang and expand its influence in Central Asia. In particular, the article suggests that the integration of Xinjiang with Central Asia grants China significant security, economic and strategic benefits that serve two purposes – the consolidation of China’s control of Xinjiang and the expansion of Chinese power in Central Asia – which contribute to Beijing’s quest for a “peaceful rise” to great power status. -
Introduction: Ethnic Issues in Central Asia
Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Vol 19, No 1, 2020, 1-5. Copyright © ECMI 2020 This article is located at: https://www.ecmi.de/fileadmin/redakteure/publications/JEMIE_Datens %C3%A4tze/Jemie_2020_1/00_Bober.pdf Introduction: Ethnic Issues in Central Asia Sergiusz Bober* European Centre for Minority Issues The present special issue reflects the ECMI’s renewed interest in Central Asian topics, which grew out of a workshop held in April 2018. The workshop featured prominent international scholars and focused on various aspects of the Central Asian reality (e.g. ethnicity, nationalisM, human rights, cross-border issues). This resulted in several publications, intensification of ECMI’s cooperation with Central Asian partners, participation in conferences, hosting of interns from Central Asian higher education institutions as well as the organization of further events. Before the reader launches into this issue of JEMIE, as the guest editor of this special issue, together with Aziz Berdiqulov, I would like to offer a set of introductory reMarks contextualizing the ECMI’s interest in Central Asia and explaining how it is reflected in the following contributions. Central Asian studies traditionally focus on Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Importantly, parts of neighbouring countries such as Afghanistan or China are also frequently included, not only because of the geographic proxiMity, but also due to a shared history, ethnic and linguistic profiles, or geopolitical * Contact: [email protected] JEMIE, Vol 19, No 1, 2020 challenges. This broader approach to the notion of Central Asia has been adopted by ECMI and, to a certain degree, is reflected in the present issue.
