Reviews
"Uyghur: An Intermediate Textbook by Gulnisa Nazarova and Kurban Niyaz perfectly builds on the skills developed in Uyghur: An Elementary Textbook. Once again the authors have compiled an engaging set of practical exercises and interactive activities to motivate students in their continued study of the language and culture of Uyghurs. The beautiful images throughout the text provide a cultural context to complement the language study."—Rebecca Clothey, Associate Professor, School of Education, Drexel University Table of Contents Scope and Sequence Preface Note to the Student References Preliminary Chapter: My Uyghur Name Is Yalqun 1.
