Geography of Sharia Courts Records of the Crimean
Khanate and the Historical-Philological Analysis of the
Crimean Toponymy
Oleg Rüstemov
Ardahan University, Turkey
The process of renaming the Crimean geographical names began immediately
after the conquest of the Crimean Khanate. The total character of the process
adopted after the deportation of Crimean Tatars in 1944 year and the abolition of
the Crimean ASSR. In its present form toponymy of Crimea with rare exception
presents no historical or philological value. But preserved in written records,
such as the siege of sharia courts, the historical names of settlements and
geographical features provide rich material for a variety of philological research.
One of the urgent tasks of the linguistic analysis of the Crimean toponomy is the
identification and definition of tribal composition of Crimean Turks coming to
the peninsula at different times. Contrary to prevailing in Crimean history point
of view, the role of the Oghuz Turks in it much bigger than it’s thought before
th’s time.
Keywords: Crimean, Crimean Sidžil’s Toponomy, philological analysis,
geography of Crimean hudžets, origin of slaves, the Crimean Khanate
