. . . . . "Old Turkic (also East Old Turkic, Orkhon Turkic, Old Uyghur) is the earliest attested form of Turkic, found in G\u00F6kt\u00FCrk and Uyghur inscriptions dating from about the 7th century to the 13th century.It is the oldest attested member of the Orkhon branch of Turkic, which is extant in the modern Western Yugur language. Confusingly, it is not the ancestor of the language now called Uighur; the contemporaneous ancestor of Uighur to the west is called Middle Turkic."@en . "Old Turkic"@en .
