Telengit is a Turkic language spoken in the Altai Republic in Russia by the Telengits. It is widespread in the Kosh-Agach and Ulagan districts of the Altai Republic.

The Telengit are also known as the Telengit-kiji or Chui-kiji.

Classification

It is classified as a Siberian Turkic language. It is considered to be a dialect of the Southern Altai language, along with the Teleut and the literary varieties.

Dialects

The Telengit language can be divided into two main dialects, the Telengit-Teles and Chui dialects.

The Telengit-Teles dialet can be subdivided in to the following subdialects:

  • Balyktuyul
  • Kara-Kudyur
  • Chibilin
  • Saratan-Yazulin
    • Saratan
    • Yuzulin
  • Cholushman
  • Chibit

Comparison with standard Altai

The Telengit language differs from the literary form of the Altai language in phonetics and morphology.

Instead of the initial , is used. For example, Telengit "чирдек", Altay: ширдек, English: felt carpet. Also, in the roots of words, is used instead of (Telengit "тепчи", Altay: тепши, English: bowl).

The sounds , , , , , are not native Telengit and are found mainly in borrowings from the Russian language.

Alphabet

An alphabet for the Ulagan dialect was proposed in 2016.
