Abstract

The eighteen letter Old Uyghur alphabet, which was derived from the Sogdian alphabet by the Old Uyghurs, was used for centuries by the Turkish nation and some neighbour nations in Central Asia. Many works are written in this alphabet. In this article, originally published in English in the 269th issue of Journal Asiatique (1981), Nicholas Sims-Williams provided information about the Sogdian alphabet, which is the basis of the Uyghur alphabet, and explained the differences between the Uyghur and Sogdian alphabets. The sounds represented by the letters are clarified in detail and some ideas are put forward as to the way in which the Uyghurs adapted the alphabet.

Özet

Eski Uygurlar tarafından Soğd alfabesinden türetilerek oluşturulan on sekiz harfli Eski Uygur alfabesi, yüzyıllar boyunca gerek Türk milleti gerekse Orta Asya’daki bazı komşu kavimler tarafından kullanılmış ve bu alfabe ile pek çok eser kaleme alınmıştır. Nicholas Sims-Williams tarafından yazılan ve Journal Asiatique’in 269. cildinde (1981) yayımlanan bu makalede Uygur alfabesinin temelini teşkil eden Soğd alfabesi hakkında bilgi verilmiş, bu alfabe ile Uygur alfabesi arasında hangi farklılıkların bulunduğu açıklanmıştır. Harflerin temsil ettiği sesler detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve Uygurların alfabeyi hangi şekilde türettiği noktasında bazı fikirler öne sürülmüştür.
