Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 15
By Ilhame Isabalayeva - Trend:
A common terminology collection of the Turkic languages will be created, Deputy Chairman of the Terminology Commission under the Azerbaijani Cabinet of Ministers, Sayali Sadigova told Trend on Nov. 15.
According to her, the common terminology will cover various spheres, such as technology, computer science, etc.
"Works on creation of a common technological terms glossary are already underway. The first volume of this glossary will be published in 2013, and the second volume will be published in 2014," Sadigova said.
According to her, the creation of the computer science terminology glossary will commence after the completion of the technical terminology glossary.
She said that following the creation of this terminology, common terms will be used in Turkic speaking countries. Sadigova added that now most of the Turkic languages borrow terms from the English language.
The commission's deputy chairman also added that some 90 per cent of the words created today both in Azerbaijan and in other Turkic speaking countries are terms. So the terminology issues should be discussed in order to develop the language.
The commission's deputy chairman also said it is necessary to define ways of appropriating terms entering the Azerbaijani language.
"Many terms of Arabic and Persian origin entered our language at one time," she said.
According to Sadigova now in Azerbaijani these words denote the meanings that they do not stand for in Arabic and Persian.
"Defining the future development of the language is first of all connected to the terms. Thus, this problem is being discussed not only in Azerbaijan but also in all Turkic speaking countries and works are underway in this sphere," Sadigova underlined.
