Book Description
Published in 1934, this was the first Visayan-English dictionary. It contains more than 18,000 words of the Hilig�ynon and Hinir�ya dialects as spoken in and around Iloilo, besides many Spanish words, which, being frequently used by the Visayans, have become part of the Visayan language. Collated by the REV. J. KAUFMANN, M.H.M, parish priest of Igbar�s, Iloilo, Philippines. Today, this dictionary remains one of the best Visayan-English Dictionaries; and is useful to both English students of Visayan, and also Visayan native speakers who require a dictionary of their own language with definitions in English. This work contains not merely a definition of the meaning of each Visayan term, but also English equivalents in abundance. It has been thought better, in translating the Visayan sentences, not to depart too far from the literal meaning; nevertheless English words and phrases have been introduced, which will prove most useful to Visayan students of English. CuriousPages Edition This book is a CuriousPages edition, which has been carefully edited by an experienced literary editor, then formatted to produce a book that is a pleasure to read. These editions are printed by CreateSpace (an Amazon company), which produces exceptional printing quality (of a higher quality than most trade paperbacks) at a reasonable price.

Book Description
This is a dictionary of Cebuano Visayan, the language of the central part of the Philippines and much of Mindanao. Although the explanations are given in English, the aim of this work is not to provide English equivalents but to explain Cebuano forms in terms of themselves. It is meant as a reference work for Cebuano speakers and as a tool for students of the Cebuano language. There is a total of some 25,000 entries and an addenda of 700 forms which were prepared after the dictionary had been composed. This dictionary is the product of eleven years work by more than a hundred persons. The work was edited by John Wolff but the sources are entirely native, and all illustrations are composed by native speakers. To date, this work probably represents the most authoritative dictionary of the Cebuano Visayan language.

Book Description
The Cebuano language, also referred by most of its speakers as Bisaya or Binisaya (English: Visayan), is an Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines by about 20 million people, mostly in Central Visayas, eastern Negros Island Region, western parts of Eastern Visayas and major parts of Mindanao, most of whom belong to the Visayan ethnic group. It is the most widely spoken of the languages within the so-named Visayan language family and is closely related to other Filipino languages.

Book Description
This dictionary contains 20,000 English (eng) terms paired with Turkish (tur) and Northern Kurdish (kmr). It is extracted from our Words R Us multi-lingual data base which is built on Princeton Wordnet of the English language. Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, Italian and other language pairs are available, Visit our website at www.wordsrus.info for availability of the other volumes. Turkish (ISO 639-3 tur) also referred to as Istanbul Turkish, is the most widely spoken of the Turkic languages, with approximately 10-15 million native speakers in Southeast Europe (mostly in East and Western Thrace) and 60-65 million native speakers in Western Asia (mostly in Anatolia). The Turkic family comprises some 30 living languages spoken across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Siberia. About 40% of all speakers of Turkic languages are native Turkish speakers. Outside Turkey, significant smaller groups of speakers exist in Germany, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Northern Cyprus, Greece, the Caucasus, and other parts of Europe and Central Asia. The characteristic features of Turkish, such as vowel harmony, agglutination, and lack of grammatical gender, are universal within the Turkic family. After the foundation of the modern state of Turkey the Turkish Language Association (TDK) was established in 1932 under the patronage of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with the aim of conducting research on Turkish. One of the tasks of the newly established association was to initiate a language reform to replace loanwords of Arabic and Persian origin with Turkish equivalents. By banning the usage of imported words in the press, the association succeeded in removing several hundred foreign words from the language. While most of the words introduced by the TDK were newly derived from Turkic roots, it also opted for reviving Old Turkish words which had not been used for centuries. The past few decades have seen the continuing work of the TDK to coin new Turkish words to express new concepts and technologies as they enter the language, mostly from English. Many of these new words, particularly information technology terms, have received widespread acceptance. However, the TDK is occasionally criticized for coining words which sound contrived and artificial. Many of the words derived by TDK coexist with their older counterparts. Turkey has the 13th largest GDP, well ahead of South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.Virtually all the Turkish people are Islamic. Less than 1% of the population is Christian. Kurdish forms three dialect groups known as Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji), Central Kurdish (Sorani), and Southern Kurdish (Palewani). A separate group of non-Kurdish Northwestern Iranian languages, the Zaza-Gorani languages, are also spoken by several million Kurds. Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji) is spoken in Turkey, Syria, northern Iraq and northwestern Iran by about 15-20 million people. Studies as of 2009 estimate between 8 and 20 million native Kurdish speakers in Turkey. The majority of the Kurds speak Northern Kurdish ("Kurmanji"). Before August 2002, the Turkish government placed severe restrictions on the use of Kurdish, prohibiting the language in education and broadcast media. The Kurdish alphabet is not recognized in Turkey, and the use of Kurdish names containing the letters X, W, and Q, which do not exist in the Turkish alphabet, is not allowed. In 2012, Kurdish-language lessons became an elective subject in public schools. Previously, Kurdish education had only been possible in private institutions. Because of war in their homeland, many Kurds have become refuges in Iran, Irag, Turkey and Germany. Other groups are found elsewhere. The United States currently has a significant population of native Kurdish speakers as does France and the U.K. Virtually all of the Kurdish people are Islamic.
