Yldzlar is a term found in several Turkic-language contexts that generally corresponds to the plural form of the word for “star.” The transliteration yldzlar appears in Latin-script renderings used for Turkic languages that employ diacritics in their standard orthography, and it aligns with related terms in related languages such as Turkish yıldızlar, Turkmen ýldyzlar, and Uzbek/yulduzlar, depending on the language and orthography. In each language, the root word refers to celestial stars and is widely recognized in both everyday speech and literary usage.

Morphologically, yldzlar demonstrates regular Turkic pluralization by adding the suffix -lar to the noun root for “star.” This pattern is common across Turkic languages, reflecting shared phonology and grammar, while pronunciation and exact spelling vary with each tongue’s conventions.

Usage and significance vary by context. In ordinary speech, yldzlar denotes the stars visible in the night sky. In poetry, folklore, and literature, stars often symbolize guidance, aspiration, or the cosmos’ vastness. The term also appears in proper names and place-names in some Turkic-speaking regions, where the celestial image carries cultural or historical resonance.
