Yarkend Hanlığına Ait Dört Yarlık

Abstract

The word Yarlık has been used for centuries in the written texts of both Turks and Mongols in the sense of 'command, order, edict'. The orders of the first Mongolian khan are verbal. The idea of writing orders over time emerged through Uyghurs. The fact that the scribes were mostly Uyghur Turks paved the way for the Uyghur language to increase its influence especially in the Altin Orda state. Edicts are historical documents that can be accessed in many subjects such as the language of the period they were written on, on the one hand, and its social structure, geography and culture. Especially the trophies regarding the Altin Orda state shed light on the history of that period. The yarns, which preserved their existence in the state tradition of the Turks, were also taken into consideration by Yarkend inns as a registration document. In this article, four texts of the Yarkend Khanate that existed in the history scene between 1514-1696 were obtained from Harvard University Houghton Library records and presented to the attention of researchers. These four halves were removed in the name of Muhammed Han (1591-1609), Şücaüddin Ahmed Han (1609-1619), Abdullah Han (1636-1667) and Muhammed İsmail Han (1670-1680), who had been the Yarkend Khanate, and sealed according to the Turkish calendar with 12 animals. The language of the yarns is heavy. Turkish word numbers are also low. However, although the number of Turkish words is low, many words belonging to this culture have been used, especially in the rivers containing orders given for waterways, rivers and their branches. In addition, many titles, place names and words about social life used by the Turks living in Yarkend and its surroundings at the time of writing were also included in the competitions. In the study, notes about the words and structures that have the term we encounter in the texts are given. The text of the four halves we used in the review was added to the end of the study.
