Summary/Abstract: Only a small part of the vocabulary of Göktürk and Uyghur languages is reflected in old written Turkish monuments, especially in the Göktürk inscription. There are many ideas with the idea that the Göktürk writings are very small in the dictionary and are too small for this. The texts of the Göktürk writings contain about 4,000 words and it is said that the texts of the old Uighur inscriptions are large according to the volume and even the most comprehensive works of art are included. For this reason, it is true that the old Uighur literary language has been well preserved until today. The vocabulary of ancient Turkish writing is so rich that it can be mentioned as an auxiliary material to study the dictionary structure of modern Turkish languages, as well as an independent language dictionary. Folk words and expressions form the basis of the vocabulary of old Turkish inscriptions. Most of the words used in old Turkish languages are preserved and used in modern Turkish. In some of the old Turkish words, the phonetic content remains the same, but is semantically expressed. In some, both its meaning and phonetic structure remained the same, while some words were used in ancient inscriptions, they were archaic for contemporary Turkish languages. In other words, there are words that do not leave marks in modern Turkish languages.
