Khalaj  

Definice

  • Khalaj is a Turkic language classified within the Common Turkic branch. It is spoken mainly in Markazi Province in Iran. Although it contains many old Turkic elements, it has become widely Persianized. The conservative character of Khalaj can be seen by comparing the same words across different Turkic varieties. For example, in Khalaj, the word for 'foot' is hadaq, while the cognate word in nearby Oghuz languages is ayaq (compare Turkish ayak). Because of the preservation of these archaic features, it has been presumed that the Khalaj people are the descendants of the Arghu Turks.
