It is one of the Turkic languages spoken by approximately 400,000 people (1989) in the Karakalpakh Autonomous Republic in the northwest of the Republic of Uzbekistan. More than 10,000 Karakalpaks also live in Afghanistan. It belongs to the central branch of the Turkic language family and is very closely related to Kazakh. It is divided into a northeastern dialect and a southwestern dialect, with the former forming the basis of the written language. The orthography changed from Arabic-Persian to Latin in 1928, and then to Cyrillic in 1940, but in 1994 the decision was made to Latinize it.

ウズベキスタン共和国内の北西部にあるカラカルパク自治共和国で約40万人(1989)が使用している、トルコ系諸言語の一つ。アフガニスタンにも1万人以上のカラカルパク人が住んでいる。トルコ語族のうち中央語派に属し、カザフ語ときわめて近い関係にある。北東方言と南西方言に分かれるが、前者が文語の基礎となっている。正書法はアラビア・ペルシア文字から、1928年にラテン文字へ、そして40年からはキリル文字のものを採用していたが、94年ラテン化が決定された。 [竹内和夫] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
