The vowel harmony of the Telengit dialect of the Altay language

The Altai language - language of one of the indigenous Turkic people of Southern Siberia. In it two groups of dialects - southern are presented: Altai-Kizhi, Telengi and outside Altai Republic Teleut, and northern: Tuba, Chalkandu and Kumany. The Telengit dialect is one of the southern dialects of the Altay language which distributed on the territory of Kosh-Agach and Ulagan areas of the Altai Republic. Currently in the Altai language is traced to the unification of some dialectal features, but in speeches still remain certain features. The unified phonetic, grammatical and lexical rules imposed by the literary language, create condition for the development of a national language and its dialects leveling, but each locality has a certain language specifics. In the paper united by common features such locality defined as speeches, and called them by administrative area. In Telengits dialect, we distinguish two speeches - the speech of the Kosh-Agach and Ulagan areas. The purpose of this paper is to describe the system of vowel harmony in the speeches of the Telengit dialect and comparison the obtained material from the Altai literary language, which is an accepted norm of the Altai written language. Vowel harmony in the Turkic languages is the rule that defines the sequence of vowels in the word using a limited set inharmonicity models available in this language. The choice of a particular model depends on the quality of the vowel of the initial syllable in the word. The set of all enharmonically models form the enharmonically system of this language (Cherkassky, 1965; Selyutina, 2002). The paper describes the vow el harmony system in the Kosh-Agach and Ulagan speeches of the Telengit dialect of the Altai language. The analysis shows vowel harmony in the studied speeches some more consistent vowel harmony with a narrow vocalism, rather than normalized in the Altai language. Identified enharmonically system of speeches of the Ulagan areas shows such inharmonicity model, not peculiar to the dialect of the Kosh-Agach area and the literary language, where the lip vowel harmony found only in a narrow vocal components. In the speech of the Kosh-Agach area, there are cases where, after a phonemes wide vowel is implemented in labialized vowels that are not traceable in the speech of the Ulagan area and in literary Altay language. The study of vowel harmony in these speeches reveals specific characteristics, on the one hand, combining these speeches, contrasting their literary language, on the other hand, show the features of each of them. In both speeches, the vowel harmony is determined by its differential signs, which are based on various enharmonicity models, which allows them to distinguish among the other speeches of the Altai language.
