Abstract
Old Turkic Inscription Bar-Burgazı II (A 21) on Altay Inscriptions
İn this article have been conducted reading and interpreting experiments on the Bar-Burgazı inscription (A 21) on Altay inscriptions. This inscription was previously read as tutuk and perceived as title. When we do epigraphic documentation emerged that one mark of the inscription which consisting of six marks incorrectly interpreted and another one mark did not read at all. For example, the mark U described by scientists who work earlier on it inscription as the mark notifying sounds o, u. But as a result of our epigraphic documentation was certain that this mark is the mark M which reflects sound m. The Bar-Burgazı inscription in the form dZMtUt has been read as ‘tut(tu)m k(e)d’ and has been translated by us as ‘(I kept) state intact (tight)’. According to this reading and meaning that we suggest the person who wrote this inscription was the governor of tribe
