Etymology
[edit]From Common Turkic *yāzuk, from Common Turkic *yāz- (“to err; to make a mistake; to miss out”).[1]
Cognate with Old Uyghur [script needed] (yazuk), Karakhanid یازُوکْ (yāzuq, “sin”), Kipchak yaxuc (yazuk), Ottoman Turkish یازیق (yazïq, “what a shame”), Gagauz yazık, Turkmen ýazyk (“sin, wrongdoing”), Crimean Tatar yazıq, Kumyk языкъ (yazıq, “pitiable”), Bashkir яҙыҡ (yaźıq, “sin, wrongdoing”), Tatar язык (yazıq, “sin”), Kazakh жазық (jazyq), Uzbek yoziq, Khakas чазых (çazıx), Southern Altai јазык (ǰazïk), Kyrgyz жазык (jazık). Compare also Yakut сыысхал (sıısqal, “mistake”).
Has been compared to Chuvash ҫылӑх (śylăh, “sin”) which, if really cognate, would warrant a Proto-Turkic reconstruction; the Chuvash word is, however, rather from *yaŋïl, i.e. cognate with Azerbaijani yanlış, yanılmaq, etc.
The Old Turkic 𐰖𐰔𐰴 (yazïq, “plain, steppe”)[2] is from *yaz- (“to spread out, to lay”), thus unrelated.
For the semantic development of 'sin' → 'sinful' → 'miserable' → 'poor, pitiable', compare the developments in the modern descendants of Old Norse synd (“sin”).
