When studying the territory of the distribution of the Turkic languages, it becomes obvious that the Kipchak-Turkic language covers a very vast territory, both in the historical period and today. Written sources that have survived from the Deshti-Kipchak region from the west of Central Asia to the banks of the Danube, the Middle Idil region in the north and the Crimea in the south, as well as the Turkic-Kipchaks, who ruled in the east for centuries, especially in Egypt and Syria, are quite rare.
