Abstract

Reconstructing the etymology of ethnonyms are highly difficult philological studies. Many researchers have focused on Oğuz and Türk ethnonyms in the past years but their works need to be criticized in different ways. This article aims to present the etymological explanation of Oğuz and Türk words by providing examples from the oldest Turkish inscriptions.
