The study is based on manuscripts and manuscript editions covering the period between the 17th and 20th centuries. Special attention is paid to the relative chronology of the phonological changes. A periodization of Western Karaim is also proposed.  }, doi = {10.4467/20834624SL.15.016.3937}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-linguistica-uic/artykul/a-historical-phonology-of-western-karaim-the-process-of-its-diversification-into-dialects} }
