Issues of native language in the works of Jalil Mammadguluzade

ABSTRACT 

The article discusses language issues in the works of well-known Azerbaijani intellectual Jalil Mammadguluzade. It is noted that Jalil Mammadguluzade fought for the development and improvement of the native language throughout his career and did great work in this area. The issue of native language has always been in the center of attention in the journal "Molla Nasraddin", editor and publisher by Jalil Mammadguluzade. With his works written in simple language, he managed to awaken the masses and radically change the foreign attitude to our language. The great writer, who called on ordinary people, illiterate people, to wake up and fight for their rights, had a very strong influence on them and he was able to use his pen as a weapon for this sacred purpose. Of course, one of the main factors that made Mirza Jalil successful in this workwas the simple, clear common language he used.
