Özet

The aim of the present study is to show that the language of the Argippaei, first mentioned by Herodotus, is related to the Mongolic and Para-Mongolic languages. This conviction is based on four words given by Herodotus, which are Ccoxo, and which is the name of a drink in the Argippaean language, is a cognate of the Mongolic *esug, which is similarly used to signify sour beverages and koumiss. Hov-cucoc, which is the name of the tree the fruits of which were used to produce 6o6xo, is related to the Mongolic monasun 'bird cherry'. This article will link the above terms with Old Uygur, ATVXianbei and Pre-Proto-Mongolic, in order to reconstruct elements of the language of the Argippaei.
