Tungusic historical linguistics and the Buyla (a.k.a. Nagyszentmiklós) inscription
SEC 20 (2015), 17–46

Abstract
This paper presents a proper linguistic assessment of the Tungusic reading of the Buyla inscription, as proposed by the late Eugene Helimski (1950–2007) who believed that one of the languages spoken by the European Avars was Tungusic. The main conclusion is that the Tungusic reading should be rejected. This outcome partly agrees with the communis opinio whereby the Buyla inscription hides an (unidentified so far) Turkic language.
