MUHAKAMAT AL-LUGHATAYN'S LITERARY AND ACADEMIC ASPECTS

This article examines the significant impact of Alisher Navai's literary works on the revival of Turkic languages, particularly Chagatai Turkic, marking a pivotal moment in the literary renaissance of Turkic peoples. This renaissance encouraged poets and authors to write in their native languages rather than Persian, which had long been the dominant literary medium. Navai's legacy has had a lasting influence, inspiring subsequent generations of writers. His work Muhakamat al-Lughatayn stands out for its innovative synthesis of the Timurid literary language, Chagatai Turkic, with Persian, providing a foundation for future literary and linguistic scholarship. Muhakamat al-Lughatayn is a seminal text that offers valuable insights into the linguistic and cultural dynamics of late medieval Central Asia. It is considered foundational in the field of Turkic philology and has had a profound influence on the development of Turkish literature and the global understanding of the region. The corpus of literature surrounding Navai's work is extensive and continues to shape scholarly discourse
