description Despite significant progress in the study of Turkisms in Russian and Polish, the Ukrainian language has yet to benefit from comprehensive and accessible research on the Turkic influences in its lexicon. This article seeks to address this gap by presenting a glossary of 280 Ukrainian words of Turkic or Turkish origin, compiled through an examination of three major bilingual dictionaries: Żelechowski (Ukrainian-German, 1886), Onacь kyj (Ukrainian-Italian, 1941), and Andrusyshen, Krett (Ukrainian-English, 1955). The glossary entry for each word provides: (1) data from these dictionaries; (2) comparative information from Russian and/or Polish where applicable; (3) the Turkic or Turkish etymon, accompanied by brief commentary where necessary; and (4) selected references. The Turkisms identified span diverse semantic fields, underscoring their significance and highlighting the need for further systematic research into their role in Ukrainian.
