Türkçe Bir Dünya Dilidir Türkçenin Matematiği Hz.Adem Türkçe Mi Konuşuyordu? Insanlik Asya'dan Mi Yayildi? TÜRKÇE BİR DÜNYA DİLİDİR TÜRKÇENİN MATEMATİĞİ HZ.ADEM TÜRKÇE Mİ KONUŞUYORDU? İNSANLIK ASYA'DAN MI YAYILDI? Türkolog-Yazar: Fatih Mehmet Yiğit TÜRKÇE BİR DÜNYA DİLİDİR: Türkçe Ural/Altay dil gurubunu oluşturan Dünyanın en eski ve en kadim Coğrafi yayılma itibari ile en geniş dilidir.Bununla birlikte Türkçe yapısı itibari ile matematiksel bir dildir. Günümüzde Ural-Altay dil ailesi ile birlikte, bu dil ailesini Altay dilleri ve Ural dilleri olarak ikiye ayırılması da sıklıkla kabul görmektedir. Bu ailenin Altay kolu Azerice, Türkçe, Moğolca, Mançuca ve Tunguzca'dır. Macarca, Fince ve Estonca ise bu ailenin Ural kolundandır. Korece ile Japonca'nın da Ural-Altay dil ailesine ait olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar da mevcuttur.(Talat Tekin, Japonca ve Altay Dilleri, Doruk, 1993.) Günümüzde çoğu dil bilimci Ural ve Altay ailelerindeki benzerlikleri "tarihsel orijin" veya "yakınsama" ile sonuçlanmış karşılıklı etkileşim ile açıklamaktadır. Ural ve Altay dil aileleri arasında ünlü uyumu, sondan eklemelilik, cümlede özne-nesne-yüklem sıralaması ve dillerin dilbilgisel olarak cinsiyetsiz olması gibi güçlü yapısal benzerlikler vardır. Ural Altay Dil Ailesi Bölümleri Ural/Altay dil ailesi konuşanların sayısı 750 milyonu bulur. Ural kolunda (dil ailesi) mensup bir dili konuşanların sayısı 50 milyon, Altay koluna (veya dil ailesi) mensup bir dili konuşanların sayısı 700 milyonu bulur. Ural Kolu Ural dil ailesi üç ana gruptan oluşmaktadır. a. Fin/Ugor dilleri b.Samoyed dilleri c. Yukagir dilleri. Ural Kolu dilleri üç ana gruba ayrılmaktadır. Bunlar, Fin/Ugor dilleri, Samoyed dilleri ve Yukagir dilleri. Ural dilleri günümüzde yaklaşık 50 milyon insan tarafından konuşulmaktadır. 1. Fin/Ugor dilleri Fin/Ugor dilleri kendi arasında iki gruba ayrılır: a. Fin dilleri: Bu diller dört grupta incelenir. Yandaki alanda görülen haritada mavi alan bu grubun yayıldığı coğrafi alanı göstermektedir: 1. Perm dilleri: Komi, Komi-Permyak, Udmurt. 2. Finno/Volga dilleri: Mari, Erzya, Moksha, Merya, Muromian, Meshcherian. 3. Fin/Baltık dilleri: Fince (şive ve lehçeleri: Meänkieli, Kvencr ve Dış İngrî), Karelce, Lude, Olonets Karelce, Livonca, Veps, Võro, Votî ve Estonca. 4. Sami dilleri: Sami/Lâpon lehçelerinden oluşur. Bunlar: Güney Sami, Ume Sami, Lule Sami, Pite Sami, Kuzey Sami, Kainuu Sami, Kemi Sami, Akkala Sami, Inari Sami, Kildin Sami, Skolt Sami, Ter Sami. b. Ugor dilleri: Macarca, Hantıca, Mansice Bu dillerin yayıldığı coğrafi alan yeşil ile gösterilmiştir. 1.Samoyed Dilleri İki dilden oluşmaktadır: Kuzey Samoyedçe ve Güney Samoyedçe. Konuşulduğu alan yandaki haritada turuncu renkte gösterilmiştir. Kuzey Samoyedçenin lehçeleri; Enets, Nenets, Yurak, Nganasan, Tavgy/Tawgi, ve Yurats'tır. Güney Samoyedçe lehçeleri ise Kamasça/Kamas, Mator ve Selkup. 2.Yukagir Dilleri İki lehçeden oluşmaktadır. Kuzey Yukaghir ve Güney Yukaghir. Konuşulduğu alan pembe renkte yandaki haritada gösterilmiştir. Altay dilleri Altay dil ailesi Altay kolu dillerini konuşan insanların sayısı 700 milyonu bulur ve Ural dağlarının güneyinden Japon denizine kadarki bölgede konuşulur. Bu dil ailesi üç ana gruba ayrılır. Türk dilleri, Moğol dilleri ve Tunguz dilleri. Tartışmalı olmakla birlikte Japonca ve Korecede bu kola dahil edilir. Fakat son zamanlarda yapılan karşılaştırmalı çalışmalar, Japonca ve Korecenin bu gruba girdiğini göstermiş ve bu tartışmalı durum ortadan kalkmıştır.(Talat Tekin, Japonca ve Altay Dilleri, Doruk, 1993.)başta olmak üzere uzman dilcilerce teyid edilmiştir. 2008 yılında Washington Üniversitesi'nden Edward Vajda ve Alaska Yerli Dil Merkezinin yapmış olduğu akademik çalışmalar sonucu Athabascan-Eyak-Tlingit (Dene) dil gurubunun Ural-Altay/Türkçe Yenisey dili ile akraba olduğu aynı dil gurubundan olduğu tespit edilmiştir.Bu dil gurubu Kuzey Amerika'nın batıdaki güneyinden Meksika sınırına kadar uzanan Amerikan yerlilerinin en büyük dil ailesidir Türkçenin bir kolu olan bu dil gurubuna Denesey ya da Dene-Yenisey dilleride denmektedir. 1.Türk dilleri: a. Bulgar grubu: Çuvaşça. b. Kıpçak grubu: Karaimce, Kumukça, Karaçayca, Balkarca, Kırım Tatarcası, Tatarca, Başkırtca, Nogayca, Karakalpakça, Kazakça, Kırgızca, Urumca, Mişerce, Barabaraca,Bereberece c. Oğuz grubu: Türkiye Türkçesi, Azerbaycan Türkçesi, Türkmence, Gagavuzca, Horasan Türkçesi, Kaşgayca, Aynullu, Salarca, Afşarca, Songori, d. Uygur grubu: Özbekçe, Uygurca, Yugurca, Aynuca, Tarançi,Ili Turki, Lop. e. Sibirya grubu: Yakutça, Dolganca, Tuvaca, Tofalarca, Hakasca, Altayca, Şorca, Çulimce, Fuyü Gırgıs. f. Argu grubu: Halaçça.Galaçça-Xalac 2.Moğol dilleri b. Moğol oluşur: Khalkha (Halha Moğolcası) Mongolian, Urdus, Oirat (Kalmyk), Darkhat, Buryat, Khamnigan Mongol, Dagur veya Daur, Monguor, Kangjia, Bonan, Dongxiang, Doğu Yugur (Shira Yugur), ve Moghol. 3.Tunguz dilleri c. Tunguz dilleri: Evenki (Tunguzca), Solon, Manegir, Nanai, Akani, Birar, Kile, Samagir, Orok, Ulch, Oroch, Udege, Mançuca ve Şibe dili. 4.Japon ve Kore dilleri Japon dili ve Kore dilinin de Altay grubuna dahil olduğu da bilim çevrelerinde kabul görmektedir. Samuel Martin ve Miller'ın 1960'lardan sonraki çalışmaları sonucunda Japonca Altay dilleri arasında gösterilir. Japon dilleri: Japonca, Amami, Okinawan, Miyako, Yaeyama, Yonaguni Kore dili. 5.Amerika Kıtası:Denesey ya da Dene-Yenisey dilleri Ayrıca Prof. Dr. Günay Karaağaç Dünya dillerindeki Türkçe kökenli sözcüklerin 35-40 bin civarında olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Yapılan bilimsel araştırmaya göre Türkçe: Çinceye ……….........307, Farsçaya ……..........2545, Urducaya…….........227, Arapçaya……..........941, Rusçaya……….........1500, Ukrayncaya …........747, Ermeniceye…….....4262, Macarcaya ….........1500, Finceye………......…118, Rumenceye….......1700, Bulgarcaya….........3500, Sırp-Hırvatçaya....8742, Çekçeye………...….248, İtalyancaya…….....146, Arnavutçaya….....3000, Yunancaya ……....3000, Almancaya…….....166, İngilizceye………...470 kelime vermiştir. TÜRKÇE MATEMATİKSEL DİLDİR Türkçe yapısı bakımından sondan eklemeli ve sözcük türetmeli bir dildir. Temel özelliği kök sözcük bir veya birden fazla heceye sahip kelimelere çeşitli ekler getirilerek yeni kelimeler türetilmesidir. Bu ekleme esnasında köklerde herhangi bir değişiklik olmaz. Ayrıca ekler bazı dillerde kelimenin başına, bazı dillerde ise sonuna gelebilir. Türkçede meşhur “göz” örneği: göz, göz-lük, göz-lük-çü, göz-lük-çü-lük gibi.Yine Türkçe; az sözcük ile çok şey anlatabilen matematiksel bir dildir! Türkçe dinamik anlamlandırmaya dayalıdır. Türkçede anlamları sözlükteki tanımlar değil, kelimelerin cümle içindeki konumları belirler. Türkçenin bu yapısı ile ilgili Max Muller : "Türk dilini incelerken insan zekasının dilde başardığı büyük mucizeyi görürüz. "Demiştir. Türkçenin az araç ile çok iş yapmasının sırrı matematikte yatar. 0'dan 9'a kadar 10 tane rakam, artı, eksi, çarpı, bölü dört işlem işareti ve bir ondalık ayracı virgül, yani 15 simge ile sonsuz sayıda işlem yapılabilir. Türkçe de benzer özellikler gösterir. Türkçe matematiğe dayalı olmaktan da öte, neredeyse matematiğin kılık değiştirmiş halidir. (Ahmet Okar) Konu ile ilgili Prof.Dr. Oktay Sinanoğlu ise şunları söylemektedir: “Türk dilinin yapısı matematik. Dünya üzerinde böyle bir dil daha yok. Türkçe, matematik gibi bir dil. Bunu ben değil, Alman dilbilimciler söylüyor. Sanki birtakım matematikçiler oturmuşlar, şöyle matematiksel yapısı olan, kuralı düzgün bir dil icat edelim diyerek Türkçeyi bulmuşlar. Halbuki bu dil en az 10 bin senelik. Şimdi iddia ediyorum ki, eğer Türkçe bilim yapar, yanımıza da bilgisayar teknolojisinin inanılmaz imkanlarını alırsak, matematik gibi olan bu dille harikalar yaratırız” (Ortadoğu, 08.01.1995). Belçikalı dil-bilimci Johan V. Walle 1983 yılında Türkçenin matematiksel olduğunu, her harfin karşılığı bir rakama tekabül ettiğini, BEN demek için 011, SEN demek için 010, O demek için 000 demenin kafi olacağını, ama Türkçe den başka hiç-bir dilde matematik olmadığını belirtmiştir. Alman Dil Bilgini Friedrich Max Müller (1823-1900), 1854 yılında yayımlandığı kitabında, “Türkçenin bilimselliğini” vurgularken, “bu dili yaratan insan zekasına sonsuz hayranlık duyduğunu” belirtmiş ve şu değerlendirmeyi yapmıştır: “Yabancı kelimelerden arındığında Türkçe kadar kolay, rahat anlaşılan ve zevk verici pek az dil vardır. Türkçenin başka dillerde olmayan birçok özelliği vardır. Bunlardan biri de Türkçenin çok zengin bir “devrik cümle” olanağına sahip olmasıdır. Cümlenin ögelerini cümle içinde istediğiniz yere koyabilirsiniz. Oluşan yeni cümle yine anlamlı olmaya devam edecektir. Üstelik cümle yeni anlamlar ve nüanslar kazanacaktır. Çok az dilde vardır bu esneklik. Örnek vermek gerekirse (Araştırmacı Sinan İPEK'in çalışması): Son zamanlarda sık sık duyduğumuz bir cümleden seçilen örnek cümle kombinasyonu: Gerçek İslam bu değil. Normalde dört elemanlı bir kümenin 24 permütasyonu vardır. Bunların listesi aşağıda… {a, b, c, d} | {a, b, d, c} | {a, c, b, d} | {a, c, d, b} | {a, d, b, c} | {a, d, c, b} | {b, a, c, d} | {b, a, d, c} | {b, c, a, d} | {b, c, d, a} | {b, d, a, c} | {b, d, c, a} | {c, a, b, d} | {c, a, d, b} | {c, b, a, d} | {c, b, d, a} | {c, d, a, b} | {c, d, b, a} | {d, a, b, c} | {d, a, c, b} | {d, b, a, c} | {d, b, c, a} | {d, c, a, b} | {d, c, b, a} Şimdi bu cümleyi farklı permütasyonlarda yeniden yazalım, gereken yere virgülü de koyalım ve her defasında anlamlı bir cümle oluşup oluşmadığına bakalım. Ben bu cümle için tam olarak 23 tane anlamlı permütasyon oluşturabildim. (Virgülün de yardımıyla tabii.) Şimdi her birini teker teker inceleyelim: Gerçek İslam bu değil. Gerçek İslam değil bu. Gerçek bu, İslam değil. Gerçek bu değil, İslam. Gerçek değil,

    2019 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 39–44 PHILOLOGICA 3 / GERMANISTICA PRAGENSIA SAMI TEXTS FROM KEMI SÁPMI RECORDED BY JENNY AND SAMULI PAULAHARJU MICHAL KOVÁŘ ABSTRACT Among the folklore texts collected by Jenny and Samuli Paulaharju in the 1920s and 1930s there are a few Sami texts from the area of Kittilä and Sodankylä. The texts are partly macaronic Finnish-Sami, only one or two might be considered authentic Sami. However, due to their small extent it is questionable whether it can be regarded as Kemi Sami, the language that has been believed to disappear about 200 years ago. Keywords: Kemi Sami; Jenny Paulaharju; Samuli Paulaharju; Sami folklore According to their grammatical and lexical features, the Sami languages are divided into two groups – the Western and the Eastern. Three Sami languages are nowadays spo- ken in Finland: North Sami, belonging to the Western group, Skolt Sami, and the endem- ic Sami language of Finland, Inari Sami, both belonging to the Eastern group. Another, namely the Kemi Sami language, belonging to the same group and nowadays extinct, used to be spoken in the territory of Finland between the Kittilä and Kuusamo localities. There is not much data available about Kemi Sami. The most significant represen- tatives are the authentic Sami songs written down by the Sami clergyman Olaus Sirma in the early 1670s.1 Sirma’s translation of Johannes Gezelius’s Catechism from Finnish (probably from 1716)2 and a short glossary compiled by Jacob Fellman during the 1820s3 show the differences between dialects from Nuortti/Nuortijärvi (Skolt Sami), Imandra (Skolt Sami), Kuolajärvi (Kemi Sami), Sompio (Kemi Sami), Inari (Inari Sami), Enon- tekiö (North Sami) and Utsjoki (North Sami), as well as the dialect continuum between Kemi Sami and the bordering Sami languages (Skolt, Inari, and perhaps North Sami as well).

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the Digisami Corpus
    Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the DigiSami Corpus Kristiina Jokinen University of Helsinki, Finland and AIRC, AIST Tokyo Waterfront, Japan [email protected] Abstract Increased use of digital devices and data repositories has enabled a digital revolution in data collection and language research, and has also led to important activities supporting speech and language technology research for less-resourced languages. This paper describes the DigiSami project and its research results, focussing on spoken corpus collection and speech technology for the Fenno-Ugric language North Sami. The paper also discusses multifaceted questions on ethics and privacy related to data collection for less-resourced languages and indigenous communities. Keywords: corpus collection, under-resourced languages, North Sami with new technology applications. The main motivation 1. Introduction was to improve digital visibility and viability of the target languages, and to explore different choices for encouraging Several projects and events have increased research and maintaining the use of less-resourced languages in the activities for under-resourced languages during the past digitalized world. The goals of the DigiSami project are years. For instance, the DLDP-project (Digital Language discussed in Jokinen (2014) and Jokinen et al. (2017). Diversity Project) is to advance the sustainability of Europe’s regional and minority languages, while the Flare- The DigiSami project deals with the North Sami language net network and the LRE Map (Calzolari et al. 2012) have (Davvisámegiela) which belongs to the Fenno-Ugric had a big impact on sharing language resources and making language family and is one of the nine Sami languages speech corpora freely available.

The interdisciplinary study adopts a comparative perspective in regard to the International ILO Convention No. 169 in a Nordic Context with Comparative Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Context with Comparative in a Nordic Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 concerning the rights of indigenous peoples. While the focus is on Nordic countries, particularly Finland, Sweden and Norway, the importance is been placed on evaluating the reporting processes related to the ratification of the Convention. These reports are examined by the Committee of Experts of the ILO (CEACR) and, thus, represent mostly interesting and valuable Latin American examples. Two themes arise within the context of this study: the first are the land rights articles of ILO Convention No. 169, while the second are the subjects, or beneficiaries, of those rights. These two themes are placed within the broader context of the study through the explanation of the system of state sovereignty at the beginning of the thesis. The TANJA JOONA concluding chapter presents liberal perspectives on human rights. It can be argued that indigenous ILO Convention No. 169 peoples’ claims to prior and continued sovereignty over their territories question the source and in a Nordic Context with Comparative Analysis: legitimacy of state authority.

A study of Riddu Riđđu Festivála and its role as a cultural tool for ethnic revitalization Anastassia Valerievna Leonenko Thesis submitted for the degree: Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tromsø Norway April 2008 To Alexandre Descomps and our baby II Acknowledgements This master thesis is a result of the contribution of different individuals and organisations. First, I am grateful to the University of Tromsø that opened my path to an international academic milieu by admitting me to the Indigenous Master Programme where I met my classmates from all over the world, Saami professors with personal experience in the indigenous self-determination movement, and other researchers on indigenous issues. Moreover, the Centre for Sámi Studies played an active role in my educational process, by organising seminars (at Skibotn) and conferences (the Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Studies), trips to Finnmark (Karasjok, Kautokeino, Alta) and to Kåfjord (Manndalen) and finally, funding my research project. My gratitude goes as well to the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen) and the Centre for Environment and Development (SEMUT) for their financial support that made this research possible. My greatest gratitude and thanks go to my supervisor Bjørn Bjerkli, Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at the Tromsø University, who devoted a great deal of his time reading and commenting on my work.

  • International Year of Indigenous Languages – Sami People and Languages in the EU
    AT A GLANCE International Year of Indigenous Languages – Sami people and languages in the EU Indigenous languages are the essence of indigenous peoples' culture and traditions. They constitute the majority of the almost 7 000 languages spoken all over the world, yet, tragically, almost half of them are threatened with extinction. The loss of an indigenous language results in the loss of culture, tradition and ancestral knowledge, mainly botanical, gathered throughout the ages by those who speak it, resulting also in the loss of biodiversity. In light of this, the UN General Assembly declared 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages. United Nations International Year of Indigenous Languages In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, among them their linguistic rights, including their right to education and culture in their own language and to establishing their language media. In December 2016, the UN adopted its resolution on the rights of indigenous peoples and proclaimed 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL), drawing attention to a vast number of endangered languages, particularly indigenous ones, and the urgent need to preserve, promote and revitalise them. The loss of indigenous, regional or minority languages diminishes linguistic diversity and reduces the world's cultural richness. These languages are important for the preservation of indigenous cultures and traditions as well as for indigenous peoples' survival, health, participation in economic and social life, access to justice, and the prevention of abuses against them in the countries they live in. Indigenous peoples and languages There is no single universal definition of indigenous peoples, but Unesco defines them by their descent from ancestral local populations and their distinct social, cultural and economic conditions.
