Turco-Dravidian

While comparing Proto-Dravidian and Proto-Turkic, I noticed four numbers that are suspiciously similar: 6, 7, 9, and 100. Today, Dravidian languages are concentrated in southern India, but many scholars believe that they were once spoken more widely across northern India. It seems that the Proto-Turkic speakers may have interacted with the Proto-Dravidians in the distant past.

Proto-Dravidian and Proto-Turkic:

  1. PD *cāʈu - PT *altı

  2. PD *eɻu - PT *yẹti

  3. PD *toɭ, toɳ - PT *toquŕ

  4. PD *nūʈ - PT *yǖŕ

The similarities appear even more striking when comparing modern Tamil and Turkic languages:

  1. Tamil "āru" - Kyrgyz "altı"

  2. Tamil "ēɻu" - Azerbaijani "yeddi"

  3. Tamil "toɳʈu (obsolete) - Kyrgyz "toɣuz"

  4. Tamil "nūru" - Volga Bulgar (Proto-Chuvash) "jür"

Ashina tribe and Orkhon inscriptions

The Ashina were a prominent Turkic clan that formed the ruling dynasty of the Göktürk Khaganate, the first historic state to officially use the name "Turk." Originating as metalworkers in the borderlands of northern China, they rose to power in 552 CE under Bumin Qaghan.

Chinese historical records first mention the Ashina in 439 CE. Their tribal origins are heavily tied to mythological "wolf tales," tracing their lineage to a grey she-wolf According to some researchers (Duan, Xue, Tang, and Lung) the House Ashina descended from the Tiele confederation

Chinese historical sources and genetic studies indicate a predominantly Northeast Asian ancestry, with the clan originally serving as metalworkers and vassals to the Rouran Khaganate Chinese dynastic chronicles such as the Book of Zhou associate the Ashina with the Xiongnu confederation

The Orkhon inscriptions, located in modern-day Mongolia, are stelae erected by members of the Ashina clan to record their legendary origins, history, and political philosophy

They were created by Yollig Tigin to honor the royal Ashina leaders of the Khaganate

the turkic rulers that were mentioned in inscriptions were:

  • Bumin Khagan
  • Istämi Khagan
  • Issik Khagan
  • Taspar Khagan
  • Ilterish Qaghan
  • Tonyukuk
  • El Bilga Khatun
  • Bilge Qaghan
  • Kül Tigin
  • Yollıg Tigin

Photos from the Aksaray Kültür Evi. Most of these are late Ottoman donations from Turkish families but we saw Kurdish and Greek donations too. Ignore the characteristic scary mannequins- they’re everywhere in these low budget culture houses.

The forgotten first Turkic women in medicine who went to the West to become doctors. Today, in most developed countries and particularly Eastern Europe, women now outnumber men in medicine.

Story of Dumrul the Mad - the Turk who battled Azrael

Are you familiar with this story or the Dede Korkut stories in general in your country? I always hear that they exist in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan too but the stories in written manuscripts are signaling a lot more towards Caucasus/ East Anatolia/West Iran Turks.

But at the same time, the written versions we have aren’t some OG or final official versions. They are just some versions that were put to paper, with political reasons of some Sultanetes.
