Mahmud ibn Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Kashgari[a] was an 11th-century Kara-Khanid scholar and lexicographer of the Turkic languages from Kashgar.

Al-Kashgari studied the Turkic languages of his time, and in Baghdad,[2] he compiled the first comprehensive dictionary of Turkic languages, the Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk (English: "Compendium of the languages of the Turks") in 1072–74.

It was intended for use by the Abbasid Caliphate, the new Arab allies of the Turks. Mahmud Kashgari's comprehensive dictionary, later edited by the Turkish historian, Ali Amiri,[7] contains specimens of old Turkic poetry in the typical form of quatrains (Persio-Arabic رباعیات, rubā'iyāt; Turkish: dörtlük), representing all the principal genres: epic, pastoral, didactic, lyric

“God Most High caused the Sun of Fortune to rise in the Zodiac of the Turks; he called them 'Turk' and made them Kings of the Age. Every man of reason must attach himself to them, or else expose himself to their falling arrows.”
Mahmud al-Kashgari

“The most elegant of the dialects belongs to those who know only one language, who do not mix with Persians and who do not customarily settle in other lands. Those who have two languages and who mix with the populace of the cities have a certain slurring in their utterances.”
Mahmud al-Kashgari

“سِكُ sik : Erkeklik aygıtı. Mahmut der ki: Tanrının kitabına karşı saygı ve ululama olmak üzere -Türklerden bilgisiz erkekler ve kadınlar yanında- Kur'an okuyan kişi وَاٰتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سِكّ۪يناً ve مَا يَفْتَحِ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَاۚ وَمَا يُمْسِكْۙ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ۜ âyetlerini okurken sesini kısmalıdır; çünkü onlar bu âyetlerin anlamını bilmedikleri için, kendi dillerindeki anlama alırlar ve gülerler. Bu yüzden günaha girerler. Yine bunun gibi إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ âyeti okunurken dahi sesin kısılması gerektir; çünkü Türk dilinde "تِلاقُ tılak = dilâk, "kadının kadınlık aygıtı" demektir. Bunculayın -bilgisiz- Oğuzlar yanında أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ âyeti okunurken soru edatı olan "اَمْ em" kelimesi yavaş sesle okunmalıdır. Çünkü onların dilinde "اَمْ em" kadınlık örgesidir, Kelimenin anlamını bilenler için nasıl okunsa zararı yoktur.”
