QARAIM LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES ONLY

The Qaraim (Karaites) are a religious and cultural group made up of individuals who adhere to the tenets of the Old Testament of the Hebrew Scriptures alone. Their ethnic and religious roots have been a subject of ongoing discussions to the present day.

Over the centuries they have developed their own spiritual and secular literature, creating their own distinct dialects apart from the standard forms of the languages in the areas in which they've lived.

The question is still open as to whether these dialects can be considered independent languages, since they have their own written traditions. These dialects include: Qaraite Hebrew of Constantinople, Qaraite Turkic (several dialects of Crimea, Lithuania, Ukraine), Qaraite Arabic, Qaraite Aramaic, Qaraite Greek of Turkey and the Qaraite Persian dialects.

The number of literary works written in these dialects is enormous, and has hardly been explored. Due to the efforts of their religious opponents, such as the Pharisees, the Qaraim were labeled as an insignificant and unimportant sect.

Since the discovery of the Cairo Geniza, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Avraham Ben Shemuel Firkovich collections, anthropologists and lingusts no longer consider the Qaraim as such anymore. Qaraim studies have become a hot topic in academic circles, but despite this recent revival of interest in the Qaraim, the linguistic and literary aspect of Qaraim culture remains largely unexamined. This blog is focused SOLELY upon research involving the examination and restoration of the LANGUAGES and LITERATURES of Qaraim.

Tuv Taam-Mordehay Qazaz Z.Ç.L

TUV TAAM
Mordehay Qazaznın z.ç.l. kitabı dır.(Transliteratsiya etken Avraham Kefeli)
(Yisrael evladlarına yaş eken ögretmege borc olğan şıyler).

Şeela: Sen hangi millettensin ve-dilin hangi dır?

Teşuva: İvrİ toqumından mın; Avrağamnın oğlı Yıçhaq, Yıçhaqnın oğlı
Yaaqov, Yaaqovnın evladlarından mın. Milletime Yisrael derler. Ve-
dilimiz Leşon Qodeş dır.

Şeela: Yisrael ümmesi ğayrı ümmelerden ne farqı var?

Teşuva: Yisrael ümmesi sünetli dirler. Gerçek, Yişmael ümmesi de
sünetli dirler, lakin eslendikten sonra sünetlenirler Allahın emirin
zıtına. Lakin Bene-Yisrael Allahın emirine göre doğdığının sekizinci
günü sünetlenirler. Ve-ğayrı milletler mazzal höküminin altında dır.
Yisraelge mazzal höküm etmez. A.T. (Allah Taala) gendi höküm ider.
Onun için BENİ BEHORİ YİSRAEL dedi ve onlara Tora ehsen eyladi ve
MEMLEHET KOĞANİM VE-GOY QADOŞ atadı.
