An important work titled Comprehensive Grammar of the Kyrgyz Language has been published on the international platform Amazon.
The author of this publication is Mahabat Sadybek, a Doctor of Sciences, linguist, and international political scientist, who has been living and working in Germany for a long time.
The book, approximately 450 pages long, covers aspects such as phonetics, morphology, and syntax of the Kyrgyz language, as well as its grammatical structure. It is written in English and intended for the global scientific community.
According to Mahabat Sadybek, this publication is not merely a translation of a previously released grammar in German, but represents a new and expanded study adapted for the English-speaking scientific world.
In an interview with "Azattyk," the author emphasizes that her goal is to present the Kyrgyz language as a full-fledged part of global linguistic science, rather than as a regional or peripheral language.
The work on this book took about 15 years and was funded by the author from her own resources.
Mahabat Sadybek explains that the choice of Amazon as a publication platform is driven by the desire to ensure global distribution of the book without limitations on circulation, as well as to retain copyright and the ability to make changes and additions to the content.
The book can serve both as a textbook and a scientific reference for students and specialists studying the languages of Central Asia.
