A fundamental work titled Comprehensive Grammar of the Kyrgyz Language has been published on the international platform Amazon.
This publication was led by Doctor of Sciences, linguist, and international political scientist Mahabat Sadyrbek, who has lived and worked in Germany for many years.
The book, approximately 450 pages long, covers important aspects of the Kyrgyz language, including phonetics, morphology, syntax, and grammatical structure. The materials are presented in English and are intended for a broad academic audience.
According to the author, this publication is not a translation of a previous work in German, but rather an updated and conceptually new study specifically adapted for the English-speaking academic audience.
In an interview with "Azattyk," Mahabat Sadyrbek noted that her goal was to present the Kyrgyz language as an important part of world linguistics, rather than as a regional or peripheral one.
The work on the book took about 15 years and was financed by the author from her own funds.
In choosing Amazon as the platform for publication, the author sees an advantage: the book can be available for global distribution without limitations on print runs, and there is also the possibility of updating and supplementing the content.
This publication can serve as a textbook and scientific reference for students and specialists studying the languages of Central Asia.
