Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider
adding a topic to this template: there are already 970 articles in the
main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide
copyright attribution in the
edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an
interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Russian Wikipedia article at [[:ru:Теленгитское наречие южно-алтайского языка]]; see its history for attribution.

Turkic language
Telengit is a Turkic language spoken in the Altai Republic in Russia by the Telengits.
The Telengit are also known as the Telengit-kiji or Chui-kiji.
Internal classification
It is classified as a Siberian Turkic language. It is considered to be a dialect of the Southern Altai language, along with the Teleut and the literary varieties.
Dialects
The Telengit language can be divided into two main dialects, the Telengit-Teles and Chui dialects.
Linguistic characteristics
The Telengit language differs from the literary form of the Altai language in phonetics and morphology.
Instead of the initial [ш], [ч] is used. For example, Telengit "чирдек", Altay: ширдек, English: felt carpet. Also, in the roots of words, [ш] is used instead of [ч] (Telengit "тепчи", Altay: тепши, English: bowl)
Alphabet
An alphabet for the Ulagan dialect was proposed in 2016.
