Central Eurasian Language Grammars project/organising

<accesscontrol>CELG</accesscontrol> This page is here for organising thoughts for the Central Eurasian Language Grammars project.

Language Organisation

Languages are broken down by what volume they should occur in, and then genetic affiliation. Ideas for contributors are included with each language

Medium Density languages

• Turkic
  • Kyrgyz — Jonathan
  • Kazakh — last resort: Jonathan
  • Qaraqalpaq
  • Uzbek
  • Uyghur
  • Tatar
  • Bashqort
  • Chuvash
  • Tuvan
  • Sakha
  • Turkmen
  • Azeri
  • Turkish
  • Unsure: Qırımtatar, Khakas,
• Mongolic
  • Khalkha — Andrew

Low-density

There should be some better way to distinguish low-density and moribund languages...

• Turkic
  • Shor
  • Altay (maybe should be divided up into it "dialects": Tuba kiži, Qumandı kiži, etc.)

Moribund

These are *really* moribund or maybe recently dead languages.

• Turkic
  • Fu-yü Ğırgıs
  • Khotong
  • Middle Chulym

Extinct / Historic

Most of these won't be able to have full grammars written on them, and many won't be able to have more than "present level of knowledge about the language" written. Maybe this volume should be of a slightly different nature.

• Turkic
  • Orkhon/Yenisei
  • Old Kirgiz?
  • Old Uyghur
  • Karakhanid
  • Bulgar
  • Khazar
  • Cuman
  • Chaghatay
