Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Turkish term or phrase:
Eski Türkçe
English translation:
Old Turkic/Orkhon Turkic
Turkish term
Eski Türkçe
As in the book title 'Eski Türkçenin Grameri'
This is of course perhaps not as straightforward as it seems as Eski Türkçe is older than Osmanlıca and what is more I am not even sure if there exist texts in it - if such texts do not exist we might have to call ıt proto-Turkish. If such texts do exist please tell me where

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations

Old Turkic
Old Turkic
n.
The language of the oldest texts of the Turkic dialects, written in a variety of scripts from the 7th to the 12th century.
However, you should keep in mind that in daily language "Eski Türkçe" is frequently used to mean "Ottoman."

: I don't think Osmanlıca is referred to as "Eski Turkce". I think you confuse it with "eski yazı"

I won't disagree with "eski yazı." It is widely used as well. No confusion. "Yok ben okuyamam o eski türkçeymiş/eski yazıymış" is an expression I have heard thousands of times so far.

I think you need to check the preface of the book to help you determine the period from which the language described originates.
