The Chulym Turks are the people of the South-East of the West-Siberian Plain. The number of the Chulym Turks is around 365 people in Russia. Materials and Methods. Research materials are words of the Leipzig-Jakarta list of the Turkic languages. These most resistant words were written out from dictionaries and publications. The Leipzig-Jakarta list is a 100 word list to test the degree of a relationship of the languages. In this survey the comparative method is used as the main method. A quantitative method is applied to count the similarities and discrepancies in the Leipzig-Jakarta list of the Turkic languages. Also an interdisciplinary approach and different data to study the classification status of the Teleut (as peripheral) and Siberian Tatar (as Uralian) idioms are employed. Discussions.
