The earliest Quranic translation in the Turkish or Turkic language dates back to the 11th century.A. İnan, Kuran-ı Kerim’in Türkçe Tercümeleri Üzerinde Bir İnceleme, Ankara 1961, s.8. One of his later translation works is the copy written in the Khorezmian Turkic language in 1363, which is registered in Istanbul's Suleymaniye Library, Hekimoğlu Ali Paşa mosque No:2.J. Eckmann, “Eastern Turkic Translations of the Koran”, Studia Turcica, Budapest 1971, s. 155. This translation in Khorezmian Turkic, like other translations of the Qur'an, is important for language studies. Because the sanctity of the text that is subject to translation will cause the translator to behave more carefully, the errors encountered in the text are not included in such works. Besides, attention was paid to the religious terminology to be understood by the public and that is why Turkic words are given weight.A. Erdoğan, “Kur’an tercemelerinin Dil Bakımından Değerleri”, Vakıflar Dergisi, 1 (1969), s. 47-51. G. Sağol worked on the translation in question.An Interlinear Translatıon of the Qur’an Into Khwarazm Turkish, I. Introduction-Text, Turkish Sources XIX, Harvard University 1993, XL+369[2]s.; II. Glossary, Harvard University 1993; III. Facsimile, Harvard University 1996.
