While it is great that Turkmen-English products in the 'new' Turkmen alphabet are available, some more attention could have been paid in the proofreading stages. The thing that immediately jumped out was the appearance of the letter 'Q' in Turkmen words. No such letter in their alphabet.

Having said that, though - It is, indeed, a very useful tool for people learning the language, or in search of a dictionary that facilitates translation of materials written in modern Turkmen (instead of transliterating in your head as you search for words in the old Cyrillic dictionary).

I hope the authors take no offense at my first remark, it is meant to be constructive!

"Very good dictionary, good for foreigners, and the turkmens. We r turkmens, and I have bought it for my wife, We found it very useful and handy, not too big, and not too small!!!"

I have openned this book and surprised by all translations.
I am native Turkmen and this book could be better written by native speaker of this language.
