Other comments: Khalaj or Turkic Khalaj has a peculiar traditional system uses a base of 50, which is similar to that of the Salar language spoken in Gansu province, northwest of China. Nowadays, Turkic Khalaj often borrow Persian numbers for 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100. Khalaj is a Turkic language spoken in Iran today. Although it contains many old Turkic elements, it has become widely Persianized. In 1978, it was spoken by 20,000 people in 50 villages southwest of Tehran, but the number has since dropped to about 19,000.It has about 150 words of uncertain origin. Khalaj language is a descendant of an old Turkic language called Arghu. The 11th century Turkic lexicographer Mahmud al-Kashgari was the first person to give written examples of the Khalaj language, which are mostly compatible with modern Khalaj. Gerhard Doerfer, who rediscovered Khalaj, has demonstrated that the language was the first to branch off from Common Turkic proper.
