Abstract

The article highlights the increasing scholarly attention to linguistic data from ancient and medieval written monuments in relation to the historical development of languages. These sources are systematically compared with materials from modern languages used in everyday communication. Language is thus regarded not only as a means of communication, but also as an important resource for studying the history and worldview of its speakers. Research activity in this field intensified particularly after independence. One of the key challenges in historical linguistics is the relationship between comparative and anthropocentric paradigms. Since the history of a language is closely connected with the history of its people, the study of glottogenesis must also take into account issues of ethnogenesis. The worldview and cultural identity of any ethnic group are inevitably reflected in its language. In this context, written monuments play a crucial role in reconstructing obsolete or semantically obscure expressions. Overall, linguistic data provide a valuable basis for tracing continuity, ethnocultural unity, and historical connections among modern related languages.
