Doğu Türkçesinin, Afganistan çağdaş Özbek edebiyatindaki etkileri
The Influences of Eastern Turkish on Afghanistan Modern Uzbek Literature

Summary/Abstract: Throughout the history, Afghanistan hosted many nations. This region, which met Turkish people and culture at very early ages, still hosts many Turkic tribes within its borders. One of the most crowded nations of these communities is Uzbeks who makes up 9 percent of Afghanistan population. This region, where is the cradle of the Eastern Turkish, hosts a living Afghanistan Uzbek literature at the present time. The Afghanistan Uzbek literature is a follow up of the Eastern Turkish. Those, who are both statesmen and grand masters of Eastern Turkish such as Ali Shir Nava'i, Hussein Baiqara and Babur, lived and they gave unıque works on these lands. Most of their graves are in Afghanistan and influences of their work are continue . Afghanistan had been under the auspices of Russian and Soviet administration in such a short period of time as the effects of it were not observed prominently. This, avoided Russian language to affect Afghanistan Uzbeks’ language and literature. Afghanistan Uzbeks still use the Arabic alphabet. Besides, because of the war and internal disturbance, the technology has not progressed as much as expected in many places of the country. Therefore, Afghanistan Uzbeks are still under the influence of the Chagatai literature in terms of form, genre and patterns. Although there are several poets who are amenable to the modern Uzbekistan literature recently, Afghan Uzbek poets continue to compose poems as a continuation of the Chagatai literature. In this study, we aimed to provide general information on Afghanistan Uzbeks, elaborate the progress of Chagatai and Modern Uzbek Literature and investigate the influence of the Chagatai literature on Afghanistan Uzbek literature.
