Linguistic and historical description of the hydronyms of the Kurenbel depression in the southeastern part of the Zhetysu range

Abstract

     Hydronyms, as one of the types of toponymy, are of geographical and cultural value. The hydronyms of the southeastern part of the Zhetysu ridge (Dzungarian Alatau) have remained a little-studied object for many years. Based on the scientific works of Tokpanov E,A, Murzaev E.M, Ayapbekova A.E, Ageeva R.A, Saparova K.T, Julie Tate Andresen and other researchers, we propose the following descriptions of the hydronyms of this region.

     According to the ethnocultural system of names Zhetysu, Dzungarian Alatau, since ancient times, the Kazakh people and the Turkic world in general have firmly taken a place in the system of spiritual values (axiological). In addition, it is the only cultural fact that connects the history of mankind in the Kazakh land from the earliest times, combined with the world legend that floods the Earth [28.5].
