Algis BITIGI is An Armeno-Kipchak Paryer Book, printed in Lvov 27th February to 20 March 1618. This 168 pages book is the first printed Book in a Turkish Language, as we know because of opposition f Islamic Clerics the Printed books were not allowed in teh Ottoman Empire and Islamic World and the therefore we have only printed books in Turkish from 18th Century, This book from befinning os 17th Century is the first printed book in a Turkish language. It is printed in Arrmenian letters but the language is Turkish.  Armeno Kipcaks were an onscure group of Turks-Armenians who were of Armenian Orthodox church memebrs but their daily language was Turkish. They have left us many literary mostly manuscripts, but this is the only printed book in that language.

 

Dr. Nadejda Chirli form Cukurova University has edited Algis Bitigi In this work, she has tried to make “Algis Bitigi” known in science world and put forth the case affixes in Armenian Kipchak with their all features.

Algis BItigi

The original text is transcripted from the Armenian alphabet to the Roman one. Then the text is "translated" to Turkish. Then the case affixes, their forms and functions with all details by making a card index of the words those got the case affixes are investigated. The affixes with the forms used in Old Turkish., Codex Cumanicus, Golden Horde area, and Mamluk Kipchak are matched . Making sense of the all words used in “Algis Bitigi”, we have arranged them in grammatical form, then we have translated the text in to Turkey Turkish.
