Iraqi Türkmen Turkish is spoken by approximately 3.5 million people, and research on this language has been steadily increasing in recent years. This dialect, particularly closely related to Azerbaijani Turkish, holds significant importance in terms of linguistic diversity. However, certain local dialects, such as Telafer Türkmen Turkish, are at risk of rapidly disappearing. This poses a significant threat to the survival of the language, highlighting the necessity of academic studies aimed at preventing its extinction.
The focus of this paper is the in-depth examination of the phonetic and morphological features of Telafer Türkmen Turkish. Telafer, which belongs to the Y group of Türkmen dialects, exhibits many unique linguistic characteristics. In this context, the texts compiled by Rıza Çolakoğlu from Telafer are of great importance. Çolakoğlu’s works provide a unique resource for understanding the structure and features of Telafer Türkmen Turkish.
This article aims to document the phonetic and morphological features of Telafer Türkmen Turkish with the awareness that such dialects must not be lost and should be preserved. Research like this plays a crucial role in both showcasing the richness of the language and ensuring that this linguistic wealth is passed on to future generations. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that significant linguistic elements, such as Telafer Türkmen Turkish, are thoroughly studied and documented before they disappear. Most of the texts in this article are based on Rıza Çolakoğlu’s book Telafer Folklore.
