An Etymological Dictionary of Altaic Languages
Starostin S.A., Dybo A.V., Mudrak O.A.
Koninklijke, 2003. - 490 pages.This is a first attempt at an etymological dictionary of Altaic languages. The history of Altaic comparative studies is a difficult one. Even now there is still no consensus among scholars on the very problem of the existence of Altaic as a genetic unit. We sincerely hope that this publication will bring an end to this discussion, which has lasted for more than 30 years.
