Abstract (2. Language):
-ьу, -ьц suffixes, which are used for making noun from verb, were first seen in Kutadьu Bilig – one of the oldest Turkic writings. In this article, Mahmut Sarikaya analyses a myriad of words containing these suffixes in South Azerbaijani Turkish.
As a result of this research, he finds out that: 1) South Azerbaijani Turkish is one of the oldest Turkic dialects; 2) In linguistic terms, it is a kind of intermediary between the Eastern [Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Uyghur, Uzbek, Karakalpak, Tatar, etc.] and Western [Turkmen, Azerbaijani, Turkish, etc.] dialects; 3) It has played the role of bridge in the transformation of the Medieval Turkish language into Modern Turkish; 4) The words containing -ьу, -ьц suffixes, which are considered as archaic word in modern Turkish, are very widespread in the South Azerbaijani dialect today.
