The present book is an etymological dictionary of the basic vocabulary of Turkic languages. Under the basic vocabulary in this case we refer to the so-called Swadesh lists collected for most of the Turkic languages and dialects. The Swadesh list includes 100-110 English words with relatively simple meanings, presumably related to a pre-cultural vocabulary. Based on the presumption that words are often borrowed together with the realities ( objects and concepts related to the word's meaning), scientists believe that words translating entities from the Swadesh list in various languages of the world are borrowed significantly more rarely than the other vocabulary. Here we try to reconstruct as much as possible for each item from Swadesh list , which word could fill it in the Proto-Turkic language, and how the forms and meanings changed to the words caught in Swadesh lists for new languages and dialects. This work, on the one hand, helps to clarify the methods of comparative-historical reconstruction for lexics, on the other hand, the reconstruction of Proto-Turkic basic wordlist provides more accurate estimation of external (Altaic) relations of Turkic languages. Contains an English resumee with some examples.
