A French admirer of Alisher Navoi, Alexander Papas, is a leading expert on Eastern Sufi philosophy. Papas deeply analyzes Navoi's work "Muhakamat al-Lugatayn," noting its complex and coded nature. He emphasizes that the work, where the reader expects linguistic foundations and clear reflections, contains autobiographical memories, educational stories, and divine praises. Papas also explores the references to the Naqshbandi order in the work, highlighting its Sufi aspects. His analysis shows that Navoi viewed language not only as a means of communication but also as a tool for praising the Creator. Papas' works successfully convey Navoi's ideas about language and Sufism to the French readership.
