Orkhon inscriptions

Japanese: オルホン碑文 - オルホンひぶん(英語表記)Orkhon inscriptions
Orkhon inscriptions
Inscriptions discovered in 1889 in the Orkhon River basin south of Lake Baikal. Two stone inscriptions dated 732 and 735 were deciphered by V. Thomsen of Denmark on September 25, 1893, along with the Yenisei inscription, and it was discovered that they are the oldest known inscriptions written in Turkish. The first one was a monument to the crown prince Kyor Tegin (闕特勤), and the second one was a monument to the ruler Bilge Khagan (毗輽可漢). Other inscriptions collectively referred to as Orkhon inscriptions include the Tonyukuk inscription on the Tola River, the Ongin inscription on the Ongin River, and the Ikhe-Hoshotu inscription on the Ikhe-Hoshotu River. This has shed considerable light on the state of Turkish (also called Turkic or Orkhon Turkish) in the 8th century, and it has been discovered that it preserves the / * ç / and initial / * b / that are believed to have existed in Proto-Turkic.

バイカル湖南のオルホン川流域で 1889年に発見された碑文。732年と 735年の日付をもつ二つの石碑は,エニセイ碑文とともに 1893年9月25日デンマークの V.トムセンにより解読され,現在知りうる最古のトルコ語で書かれたものであり,先のものが皇太子キョル・テギン(闕特勤),あとのものが君主ビルゲ・カガン(毗伽可汗)の記念碑であることが判明した。このほかトラ河畔のトニュクク碑文,オンギン河畔のオンギン碑文,イヘ・ホショトゥ河畔のイヘ・ホショトゥ碑文などもオルホン碑文と総称される。これにより 8世紀のトルコ語(突厥語,オルホン・トルコ語ともいう)の様子がかなり明らかになり,チュルク祖語にあったと推定される /ç/ や,語頭の /b/ を保存していることなどが判明した。
