Анализ системы вокализма и консонантизма в первых кириллических книгах на казахском языке
Analysis of the vowel and consonant systems of the first Cyrillic books in Kazakh

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the use of vowels and consonants in six Cyrillic books, which were published within the framework of the Kyrgyz mission at the end of 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The article deals with phonetic and morphological characteristics of the text of the book “Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach” (Kazan, 1891) in comparison with the data of modern dialects and of the Literary Kazakh language. Based on a comparison of the data obtained, it was concluded that the features of the reflection of vowel graphemes in [Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 1891] almost completely coincide with [Kyrgyz-Russian dictionary 1897]. At the same time, they are reflected in the Kostanay dialect, and most of them are represented in the modern Pavlodar dialect. This indicates the proximity of the dialects of Pavlodar and Kostanay, their differences from the Eastern dialects of the Kazakh language, on the material of which the first books were created [Primer for Kyrgyz People 1892; School of Piety 1892; The Baptism of Russia 1892], and correlates with historical information about the centers for creating the first Cyrillic books.
