Subdivisions:


The Oghur languages (also known as Oghur, Oghuric, or Oghur-Turkic), are a separate branch of the Turkic language family.

[edit] Subgrouping

A tentative subgrouping results in the following list of languages:

The languages of this branch are all extinct except for Chuvash.

Little is known about any precise interrelation of these different languages and it is a matter of dispute whether Chuvash might be the daughter language of any of these or just a sister branch (Johanson 1998).

[edit] Known linguistic features

The Oghur languages are characterized by sound correspondences such as Oghuric r versus Common Turkic z and Oghuric l versus Common Turkic š.
