Abstract
The article reveals the features of the vocab- ulary of the Bargut dialects (the language of the old and new Barguts of the IMАR of the PRC) in a comparative study with the Buryat and Mongolian languages. Drawing these lexical parallels reveals and reveals the actual Bargut words and phrases. The subject of the study includes the semantic features of the original vocabulary of the Barguts. The purpose of the work is to identify the actual Bargut vocabulary. The work uses the works of domestic, Chinese and Mongolian linguists, the author’s field materials obtained during research expeditions, the Dictionary of the Bargut dialect, republished by the author in 2021 in a five-language format with Russian and Mongolian (Khalkha-Mongolian) equivalents. In addition, various dictionaries of the Mongolian languages, Chinese and Manchu languages, lexical material from scientific literature on Mongolian studies, Mongolian lexicology, and dialectology were used. In the course of the work, such research methods as the method of analysis, generalization, continuous sampling, descriptive, comparative-historical, lexicographic and comparative were used. As a result of the study, a fairly large layer of Bargut native vocabulary is found that has no analogues in other related Mongolian languages, which, firstly, confirms the high degree of uniqueness, originality and richness of the language, and secondly, demonstrates a fairly high degree of stability and preservation of the language in complex multicultural conditions, thirdly, indicates an im- pressive lexical foundation for enrichment, further harmonious development of the language.
