TY - JOUR T1 - Miscellany on the Tumshuqese Documents A1 - Hirotoshi (裕敏 荻原), Ogihara PY - 2020 N2 - Rather than being a linguistic note, Ogihara's article provides a convincing summary of the research into the Tumshuqese (تۇمشۇق/圖木緮克/Tumxuk) dialect of Saka, an Iranian language once located in the western Tarim Basin. With typical accuracy, the author creates typologies of noun classes, quantifiers, terms of address and fixed expressions, based on rarely used contracts in Tumshuqese. To this end, Ogihara also compares the legal traditions and terminology of contracts written in Prakrit, Khotanese, Yarkand Uyghur and Bactrian.
