В статье рассмотрен научный вклад В.И. Абаева в развитие этно­графической науки по данным Б.А. Калоева. Показана значимость теории субстрата, в разработке которой ученый принимал активное участие с 1920-х гг. Акцентировано внимание на заключении Абаева о том, что в этногенезе осетин превалировал иранский элемент, несмотря на силь­ную местную кавказскую среду, субстрат. В разрезе этой темы проана­лизированы выступления Абаева на конференциях по этногенезу балкар­цев и карачаевцев и осетин. Как значительный вклад в проблему этно­генеза оценена теория ареальной лингвистики исследователя. Изучены работы Абаева в области языка скифов. Выявлены скифо-сарматские черты в материальной и духовной культуре осетин. В качестве важней­шего этнографического источника рассмотрен «Историко-этимологи­ческий словарь осетинского языка» ученого. В нем дано объяснение исто­рико-культурного значения и происхождения многих вопросов общего кав­казоведения, касающихся этногенеза и этнической истории, предметов материальной и духовной культуры, фольклора, мифологии, религии и т. д. Сосредоточено внимание на том, что в словаре большое внимание уделено аланам и осетинским этническим группам. Показан большой вклад Абаева в разработку этноязыковых и этнокультурных контактов алан-осетин с соседними народами Кавказа. Указано на исследование уче­ным аланских элементов в языках и культуре балкарцев и карачаевцев, абхазов, сванов, мегрелов, чеченцев и ингушей. Отмечено влияние Абаева на выбор исследовательских тем Калоевым: этнографическое наследие В.Ф. Миллера, проблема венгерских алан (ясов) и др. Сделан вывод о значи­тельном научном вкладе Абаева в развитие этнографической науки. The article considers the scientific contribution of V. I. Abaev to the development of ethnographic science according to B. A. Kaloev. The importance of the theory of the substrate, in the development of which he took an active part the 1920s focused on the conclusion of V. I. Abaev that in the ethnogenesis of the Ossetians dominated Iranian element, despite strong local Caucasian environment, substrate. In the context of this topic, V. I. Abayev’s speeches at conferences on the ethnogenesis of the Balkars and Karachays and Ossetians are analyzed. V. I. Abaev’s theory of areal linguistics is evaluated as a Significant contribution to the problem of ethnogenesis. The works of V. I. Abaev in the field of the Scythian language are studied. Scythian-Sarmatian features in the material and spiritual culture of the Ossetians are revealed. V. I. Abayev’s «Historical and etymological dictionary of the Ossetian language» is considered as the most important ethnographic source. it explains the historical and cultural significance and origin of many issues of General Caucasian studies related to ethnogenesis and ethnic history, objects of material and spiritual culture, folklore, mythology, religion, etc. Attention is focused on the fact that the dictionary pays great attention to the Alans and Ossetian ethnic groups.

Abaev on the choice of research topics by B. A. Kaloev is noted: the ethnographic heritage of V. F. Miller, the problem of the Hungarian Alans (Yas), and others.

Abstract Today, in carrying out the reforms for the development of our society, there are created full opportunities and conditions for the fulfillment of the tasks set before the Uzbek linguistics, purposeful research work is carried out on the issue of comprehensive study of our language. At the same time, the study of the features of Uzbek dialects, relying on the theoretical bases of areal linguistic research, is defined as one of the priority directions in the historical-comparative and ethnolinguistic aspects.This sphere consists of imperfect, simple descriptive and illustrative aspects, indefinite places need to learn and fill on the basis of new views, from a mental point of view. The article gives an idea of the peculiarities of the Namangan Kipchak and Karluk dialects, the historical genesis of the system of vowels, the issues areal of their prevalence and application. The phonetic-phonological linguistic character of the dialect is a comparative-historical reflection of the processes of events of features and laws. In its turn, there are described opinions about the events of umlaut in the Turkic dialects of synharmonism and Karluk dialects in Kipchak dialects related to the vowels in the Turkic languages. Key policy insights.The study through areal-typological and areal-linguistic methods, which gave Mahmud Kashgariy in Turkic languages, the initial point of any linguistic theory and conceptions, the study of dialects, their specific features, is still one of the important issues today. The emergence of areal linguistics has opened up a wide way to evaluate new issues and concepts in the field of dialectology, to solve them in new ways. Relying on the theoretical basis of dialect and slang areas in the holistic study of the language system, the fact that historical-comparative and ethnologic research is defined as one of the priority areas imposes new responsibilities on Uzbek linguistics and Uzbek linguists.
