Abstract :
The primary purpose of the present study is to demonstrate that the donor language of the Turkic loanwords in Hungarian that exhibit sz- [s] in place of the Common Turkic y- was not an Old Bulgar dialect, but an ancient Oguric branch of Turkic with a history that is far older than previously assumed. The antiquity of this Turkic language, called 'S-Turkic' by the author, is mainly proven by numerous Turkic loanwords in languages such as Mongolic, Khitan, Samoyedic, Chinese, and Tocharian. In the paper, each of these loanwords has been presented one by one and discussed in detail.
