An important work has been published on the international platform Amazon — Comprehensive Grammar of the Kyrgyz Language.
This book is authored by Doctor of Sciences, linguist, and international political scientist Mahabat Sadyrbek, who has been living and working in Germany for many years.
The publication consists of about 450 pages, covering the phonetics, morphology, syntax, and grammatical system of the Kyrgyz language. The material is presented in English and is aimed at the international academic community.
As the author herself noted, this publication is not a translation of the previously released grammar in German, but rather a more detailed and conceptually new study, adapted for an English-speaking academic audience.
In an interview with "Azattyk," Mahabat Sadyrbek emphasized that her goal was to demonstrate the Kyrgyz language as a full-fledged part of world linguistics, rather than as a regional or peripheral phenomenon.
The work on the book took about 15 years and was funded by the author's personal resources.
The choice of Amazon as the publication platform is explained by the possibility of global distribution of the book without limitations on circulation, as well as the preservation of publishing rights and the ability to make changes and updates to the content of the publication.
The book is intended as a textbook and reference guide for students and specialists studying the languages of Central Asia.
