<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 — Arienne Dwyer (recommended by Mahire Yakup (recommended by Eric Schluessel)), [recommendations by Eric: "Reyhangul Abliz (Professor at Xinjiang Agricultural University, co-author of Uyghur: A manual for conversation and De Jong's grammar) rayhan10@hotmail.com, tell her I sent you; Abdurishit Yakup (in Germany, wrote an excellent grammar of Turpan Uyghur); Mahire Yakup (at University of Kansas, teaches Uyghur at SWSEEL, PhD student); Frederick de Jong (very, very senior professor at Utrecht, produced the above-mentioned learner's grammar of Uyghur with Reyhangul and others), frederick.dejong@let.uu.nl, again, tell him I sent you..."]
    • Tatar
    • Bashqort
    • Chuvash
    • Tuvan — Greg Anderson and/or David Harrison
    • Sakha — Nyurguyana Petrova (petrova3@buffalo.edu, native speaker and linguistics student, friend of / recommended by Chris Straughn (U Chicago))
    • Turkmen
    • Azeri
    • Turkish — Kornfilt?
    • Unsure: Qırımtatar, Khakas,
  • Mongolic
    • Khalkha — Andrew
  • IE
    • Tajik
    • Ossetian

Low-density

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

  • Turkic
    • Shor
    • Altay (maybe should be divided up into its "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
