Abstract
Diwan Lughāt al-Turk (Dictionary of Turkish Dialects) by Mahmoud Kashghari is 
the oldest Turkish-Arabic dictionary and the most important source from the 5th 
century of Hijri about the different dialects of the Turkish language. This work 
especially contains valuable information about Oghuz Turkmen and their dialect, 
Oghuz Turkish or Turkmani. Kashghari has described the features of the Oghuz 
Turkmen dialect and pointed out its differences with other dialects in his work, which 
was written with the intention of teaching the Turkish language and introducing the 
dialects of this language to the Muslim nations. The characteristics that Kashgari 
listed for the Oghuzan dialect in his work are enough to show that this dialect had 
enough characteristics to distinguish it from other Turkish dialects at the time of the 
compilation of Diwan Lughāt al-Turk Dictionary. In this article, based on the data 
available in Kashgari's work, we aim to introduce this dialect and mention the most 
important features that distinguish it from other Turkish dialects in the fifth century 
of Hijra.
