Pecheneg language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Pecheneg language is the extinct Turkic language spoken by the Pechenegs in Eastern Europe.

It is most likely a member of the Oghuz branch of the Turkic family[citation needed], but the poor documentation to it and the absence of any descendant languages of Pecheneg has prevented linguists from making a definite classification; most experts would be fairly confident in placing it among the Oghuz languages[citation needed], but would refuse to classify it further. It went extinct by the 12th century.
