Khazar was the Turkic language spoken by the Khazars, a semi-nomadic Turkic people from Central Asia. It is also referred to as Khazarian, Khazaric, or Khazari. The language is extinct and written records are almost non-existent. The 10th-century Kievan letter  contains the only extant record of the Khazar language, the so-called runiform recognitio, interpreted as the single word-phrase I have read (it). This appears to be a sign of approval from a Khazar magistrate. Extant texts written in the Khazar Khaganate during the 10th century are primarily in the Hebrew language. The linguistic affiliation of the Khazars has been disputed. Khazar was a Turkic language, however, different scholars take different views whether it belonged to the Oghur (lir) or the Oghuz (shaz) branch of the language family.
