Summary/Abstract: In the Sogdian documents of the first quarter of the 8th century found on Mug Mount (Tajikistan) there are Old Turkic names, titles, terms, directly and indirectly related to the Turkic Khaganate. Despite the fact that there is original information on the history of the Turkic peoples, in particular the Western Turkic Khaganate, in the documents, it was not studied by turkologists and historians. One of the reasons for this fact is controversial reading and interpretation of the terms in the first publications.
