Morphology

Khazarian = Khazar (transparent) = Khazar + ian

Naming a language after the people using '-ian' is a transparent and regular formation (the language 'of the Khazars').

Etymology

The word Khazarian can also name the language of the Khazar people because Khazar plus -ian shows 'belonging to' the Khazars, so it means the speech 'of the Khazars'.
