Khorezmian or Khwārazm Turkish (called Türki by its early user Nāṣir al-Dīn ibn Burhān al-Dīn Rabghūzī) [1] was a literary Turkic language [2] of the medieval Golden Horde of Central Asia and Eastern Europe in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries CE.

Relationship to other languages

Khorezmian is generally thought to have emerged from the Karakhanid language and to have transitioned into the Chagatai language, which would remain an important language of Central Asia until the twentieth century. Khorezmian was based on Old Turkic further to the east, though incorporating local Oghuz and Kipchak words. [1]
