The written monuments we present here were made with Armenian script in the Qypchaq language in Ukraine (Lvov, Kamenets-Podolsky, and others), Poland, Romania, Moldavia, Crimea and Turkey in 16-17 centuries.
The mixed character of their culture is explained by the fact that many Armenians, being compelled to leave Armenia, lived together with Qypchaqs in Crimea and Bessarabia for a long time.
The Qypchaq language in its origin and structure is close to some Turkic languages such as Crimean-Tatar, Urum, Karaimish, Crimchakish, Karachay-Balkar, Kumyk, Tatar, Kazakh, Noghay, Kyrghyz, Uzbek and others.

As limited as language (Sanskrit included) is in its capacity to convey spirituality, the extent that it does so in terms of theoretical knowledge is often considerable.
