WORDLIST AND REFERENCE GUIDE
There are strong historic links between Ukraine and
Turkey, where Tatar Crimea served as link inbetween.
Crimean Tatars speak nearly the same language as Turks
and for centuries Khanate of Crimea had been an
autonumous land within Ottoman empire. Great part of
southern Ukraine had been part of Ottoman (Turkish)
empire as well. Tatars and Turks ahd been always invading
Ukrainian lands. Many of them settled and were absorbed
among Ukrainian people. These interactions left a
significant trace in Ukrainian vocabulary. Thus many
Ukrainian words were borrowed from Turkish / Tatar
(Turkic) languages. Ukrainian exclamation Hayda!
(Go! Lets go!) derives from Turkish Hayda!
/ Haydi! (Go! Move!)
(compare this term in other Turkic languages: Tatar hayde
/ to go, Bashkir eyde
/ to go and Kyrghyz ayda / to
drive). While similar Russian exclamation Ayda!
was borrowed from Volga Tatar. Ukrainian bohatyr
(hero) also stems from Turkish bahadir
(brave, hero). Ukrainian word hamanets'
(wallet / purse) was also borrowed
from Turkic (where for example in Crimean Tatar hemiyan
or Chuvash haman means leather
purse, bag. In Uzbek it is hamen,
in Uyghur it is Hemiyan, in
Kazakh / emiyan and in Turkmen ham
stands for leather). It is interesting that many
of these Turkic / Turkish based Ukrainian words are used
with stress by Ukrainians to define their
"Ukrainianess", patriotic and national feelings
(example the central sqaure in Kyiv is called Maydan
Nezalezhnosti - Independence Sqaure,
where term "maydan" is Turkic in its origin
(from Turkish meydan - square);
or popular national Ukrainian term Berkut
(golden eagle, also the name for special
intervation security forces of Ukrainian police and Ukrainian
cigarettes brand) which was borrowed from Turkic too
(from Crimean Tatar / Cuman burkut
- golden eagle ).
