A LOOK AT BABUR'S VIEWS ON LINGUISTICS (IN THE EXAMPLE OF "BABURNAMA")

Abstract

Zahiraddin Muhammad Babur was a great ruler, a magnificent commander, an incomparable writer and poet, historian, literary scholar, and also a connoisseur of the Turkic language. Babur did not have a special work on linguistics. Despite this, in his work "Baburname" the scientist often explains the etymology of some toponyms and provides information about the historical names of this area. The author used all the riches of the Turkic language. "Baburname" is a unique monument of history, classical literature and the Turkic written and literary language. All this indicates that he was a major specialist in linguistics. This article is devoted to the linguistic knowledge of the great figure.
