Summary/Abstract: The article presents an attempt to systematize the phonetic changes of vowel ү (front labial vowel /ü/) in the Turkic words loaned to the North Caucasian languages. The recording and analysis of the reflections of the Turkic phonemes in each of the Caucasian languages or the related language groups reveals a complex picture. It turns out that information about the phonetic adaptation makes possible to single out the vocabulary borrowed from various Turkic sources in almost every language.
