On Secondary Long Vowels in Mongolic Loanwords in Kirghiz
Abstract Regardless of the modern settlement of their speakers, the South Siberian Turkic languages evidence the largest number of Mongolic loanwords. At the same time, the layer of the loanwords in these languages varies greatly. Interestingly, the Kirghiz language has quite a few Mongolic borrowin...

For example, Kirghiz has an early characteristic feature in the length patterns - a γ u-, -a γ a-, -o γ a-, i γ u-, -egü-, -öge-, -u γ u -, -igü- , which can be attributed to the middle period of the Kirghiz language. In Kirghiz, strong labial vowel harmony is clearly and consistently implemented, especially in the Northern Kirghiz dialect. This might have influenced the long vowel patterns in Mongolic loanwords. This type of vowel harmony affected the development of the long vowels in the Mongolic loanwords due to the loss of intervocalic guttural consonant g . Long vowels in Mongolic loanwords in Kirghiz are observed only in those cases where the long vowels arose from the patterns -a γ u-, -a γ a, -o γ a-, -i γ u-, -egü, -öge-, -u γ u, -igü- .
