Common Turkic languages


Common Turkic, or Shaz Turkic, is a taxon in some classifications of the Turkic languages that includes all of them except the Oghuric languages which had diverged earlier.

Classification

Lars Johanson's proposal contains the following subgroups:
In that classification scheme, Common Turkic is opposed to the Oghuric languages. The Common Turkic languages are characterized by sound correspondences such as Common Turkic š versus Oghuric l and Common Turkic z versus Oghuric r.
Siberian Turkic is split into a "Central Siberian Turkic" and "North Siberian Turkic" branch within the classification presented in Glottolog v4.8.
In other classification schemes, the internal classification is different.
