 Muhakamat al-Lughatayn

Muhakamat al-Lughatayn (, literally "Judgment between the Two Languages" or "The Comparison of the Two Languages"; ), was one of Mir Ali-Shir Nava'i's masterpieces.Completed in December 1499, the "Mukakamat" defended Nava'i's view that the Chagatai Turkic language was superior to Persian for literary purposes.It was the writer's last definitive statement on the subject dearest to his heart, and the "Muhakamat" is a perfect example of an author's final work acting also as his last will and testament which was to emphasize the importance of his native language.
