Good resource, but wish it were a little bigger
25 Oct 1999
My first thought on seeing the book was that it wasn't nearly big enough. About an inch thick, and I'd expected a huge volume. Looking into it confirmed this. I was specifically looking for the word "eclipse", and it wasn't there. On the plus side, GREAT comparative study between these languages. Separate sections for each language, then a comparative word list. Overall not bad, but wish it were a little more comprehensive.

Greatly needed; needs larger vocabulary to become landmark
7 Nov 1999
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. 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. 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.
