Place and importance of Chinese language in turcologystudies are indisputable Turks and Chinese had ben livedin same geographya long centuries. Still there are 8 turkic etnic groups are living in People’s Republic of China. Both communities had been effected from their cultures because of living together and sharing same geography. In the process of time common quatations had been formed in both two languages. Place and importance of Chinese language in turcology studies are indisputable. Specially in researchs about ancient Turkhistory Chinese language has huge importance. Turks realized settlements by Chinese language as they didn’t recognize writing. As Prof. Dr. Bahaeddin Ögel remarked in his book named ‘History of Great Hun Empire’ we begin to ancient Turk history by Huns (Xiongnu). Huns are specified in Chinese history book as ‘Hu’. This name began to be seen in history books belong to Warring States Period (475 B.C-221 B.C). Huns had been realized settlements by Chinese language because of lack of writing. Because of this Chinese historical records and Chinese language have bir importance for turcology studies. Importance of Sinology department is indusputable in turcology studies. Atatürk noticed importance of Sinology in turcology works years ago and asked to establish Sinology Department. Everywhere in the world turcologists who wish a comprehensivere search should master Chinese language. Turkic World is nor a state, nor a country, neither a region which has definition boundries. But communities speaking Turkic language in the world have boundrieson the map. Turkic languages are been speaking in a large geography from Bosnia to Chinese Great Wall, from Middle of Irfan to Arctic Ocean which creates a large lane between 35th and 55th latitude. This lane has Theresa main region: In the west a narrow region whichconsists Anatolia, North Iran and Upper Caucasus; large region in the east of Caspian Sea and West Turkistan and Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China. Todaythere are eight Turkic nationalities dispersed in provinces of People’s Republic of China specially in Xingiang Uighur Autonomous Region. These Turkic nationalities are speaking their languages and use Chinese as offical language. These nationalities had been living and are living in same geographya long centuries. In Chinese language and languages of these nationalities there are many common quatations.

Because of this Chinese historical records and Chinese language have bir importance for turcology studies. Everywhere in the world aturcologist should master to Chinese language. In China writing had been createdaround 1500s B.C. The oldestwrittenrecords are ‘FortuneInscriptions’ of Shang Dynasty (1450 B.C-1050 B.C). These where short inscriptionsen rolled on tortoiseshells or bones of cattles. Chronicles have big importance in China. As if we think literature French literature comes to our mind, if we thinkcronicles Chinese come to our mind. Chinese had been recorded events day by day. Because of this Chinese records are veryimportant for Turkichistory. Books named as 24 History (Ershısı Shı : 二十四史), (It was remarked as 25 History or 26 insomerecords) are classics of Chinese History. These classics contains detailed informations about Chinese history and history of nationalities.24 History contains events from Yellow Empire(Huang Di-黄帝) (2550 B.C) to Mine Dynasty (1644). It consists of 3213 volumes and 40 millions Chinese characters. 24 History has been named as General History (Zheng Shı-正史) in China. At the end of Qing Dynasty(清)early of Min Guo(民国) Ke Shao Min( 柯劭忞) wrote New YuanHistory ( Xin Yuan Shı -新元史).

Also she had been givenlessons on classical and contemporary Chinese and spent effortsto educate many young Turkish sinologists. Importance of Sinology department is indusputable in turcology studies. Atatürk noticed importance of Sinology in turcology works years ago and asked to establish Sinology Department. Every where in the world turcologists who wish a comprehensive research should master Chinese language. Turkic World is nor a state, nor a country, neither a region which has definition boundries. But communitiesspeakingTurkiclanguagein the world have boundrieson the map. Turkic languages are been speaking in a largegeography from Bosnia to Chinese Great Wall, from Middle of Irfan to Arctic Ocean whichcreates a large lane between35th and 55thlatitude. This lane has Theresa main region: In the west a narrow region whichconsists Anatolia, North Iran and Upper Caucasus;large region in the east of Caspian Sea and West Turkistan and Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China. Todaythere are eight Turkic nationalities dispersed in provinces of People’s Republic of China specially in Xingiang Uighur Autonomous Region. These Turkic nationalities are speaking their languages and use Chinese as offical language. These nationalities had been living and are living in same geographya long centuries. In Chinese language and languages of these nationalities there are many common quatations. Importance of Chinese language is indisputable for turcology studies worldwide. Today Turkey and China are geograpically in different corners of Asian continent. Even so these two big states has common long history. Language is mostimportant mean for historical researchs. For turcology researchs Chine language has bigimportance. Diplomatic relations between Turkish Republic and People's Republic of China were established in 1971. Turkic and islamic minorities living in Middle Asia and China specially in Xinjiang Uighur Aotunomous Region have çölse etnic, cultural and historical relations with Turkey. Because of these relations being in friendly and close relation is very important for Turkish and Chinese goverments. Turkey has importance for China by its effect coming from etnicrelations and specially geographical situation. Developing friendly relations will carry also cultural and economic coorperation forward between Turkey and China which are important powers in their region. This has importance also for revitalizing of historical Silk Road. Because of developingcultural and economic coorperation between two countries there is necessity to human source consisteducation on languages and culture of both countries. Chinese language should be first preference for foreign language of researchersof Turkic language, history and culture. It is unavoidable to dissapear for nations doesn’t know their roots. Turkologists speaking Chinese language will be enligh tend history. Because of this in departments study on ancient Turkic history and language Chinese language should be compulsary lesson. There are deficiany in numbers of teachers in history and ancient Turkic languages departments of our universities. Chinese language is important in turcology studies. Chinese education should became prevalent in universities of our country.
