Common Turkic, or Shaz Turkic, is a taxon in some classifications of the Turkic languages that includes all of them except the Oghuric languages.

Classification

Lars Johanson's proposal contains the following subgroups:

Common Turkic languages

Southwestern Common Turkic (Oghuz) Northwestern Common Turkic (Kipchak) Southeastern Common Turkic (Karluk) Northeastern Common Turkic (Siberian) Arghu Common Turkic (Khalaj)

Common Turkic languages

In that classification scheme, Common Turkic is opposed to Oghur Turkic (Lir-Turkic). The Common Turkic languages are characterized by sound correspondences such as Common Turkic š versus Oghuric l and Common Turkic z versus Oghuric r.

Common Turkic languages

Siberian Turkic is split into a "Central Siberian Turkic" and "North Siberian Turkic" branch within the classification presented in Glottolog v4.8.

In other classification schemes (such as those of Alexander Samoylovich and Nikolay Baskakov), the breakdown is different.
