4.0 out of 5 stars
Greatly needed; needs larger vocabulary to become landmark
My greatest thanks to the authors for compiling an admirable comparative study of modern Turkic languages. However, I would love to see a revision with a larger vocabulary base and guide to inflected forms, conjugation paradigms and suffixes.

Good resource, but wish it were a little bigger

Separate sections for each language, then a comparative word list. Overall not bad, but wish it were a little more comprehensive.

My greatest thanks to the authors for compiling an admirable comparative study of modern Turkic languages.

Expand the size and scope of this work, and I would gladly add the fifth star.

My greatest thanks to the authors for compiling an admirable comparative study of modern Turkic languages. I do recommend it. However, I would love to see a revision with a larger vocabulary base and guide to inflected forms, conjugation paradigms and suffixes. There is such a tremendous lack of adequate published works regarding the languages of the newly emerging Central Asian republics that I can't help but give this dictionary 4 stars.
