Semantic parallels of archaic Crimean Tatar musical terminology with the musical vocabulary of “Divan Lugat at-Turk” by Mahmud al-Kashgari in the context of the Turkic musical culture of the early Middle Ages

The process of the formation of the Crimean Tatar musical culture can be divided into post-Byzantine-Golden Horde, Tatar-Seljuk and Nogai Kypchak (Nogai) – Ottoman periods of the cultural genesis of the Crimean Tatar people. The fact that the ancestors of the steppe Crimean Tatars are the Turkic tribes of the Kypchaks and the ancestors of the southern coastal Crimean Tatars are the Turkic tribes of the Oghuz, from the earliest centuries of their history were ethnic groups with a developed musical culture, written evidence from ancient Turkic authors and, in particular, the dictionary “Divan Lugat ata” – Turk “Mahmud al-Kashgari”. This article attempts to determine, based on the lexical analysis of the text of the vocabulary, the direct connection between the semantics of musical terminology in the language of modern Crimean Tatars with the semantics of the musical vocabulary of their Oguz and Kipchak ancestors, as well as identifying patterns of Oguz and Kipchak musical vocabulary in lexicon of the Crimean Tatars by the time of Mahmud Al-Kashgari has written his creation.
