The Oghuric, Onoguric or Oguric[6] languages (also known as Bulgar,[7] Bulgharic,[8] Bolgar,[9] Pre-Proto-Bulgaric[10] or Lir-Turkic and r-Turkic) are a branch of the Turkic language family. The only extant member of the group is the Chuvash language. The first to branch off from the Turkic family, the Oghuric languages show significant divergence from other Turkic languages, which all share a later common ancestor. Languages from this family were spoken in some nomadic tribal confederations, such as those of the Onogurs or Ogurs, Bulgars and Khazars.[11]
