context_page_description: Chagatai or Chaghatai, also known as Jaghatai, Turki, or Sart, is an extinct Turkic language that was once widely spoken in Central Asia and remained the shared literary language there until the early 20th century. Literary Chagatai is the predecessor of the modern Karluk branch of Turkic languages, which includes Uzbek and Uyghur. Ali-Shir Nava'i was the greatest representative of Chagatai literature.
  Chagatai literature is still studied in modern Turkey and regarded as part of the Turkic heritage.
