A dictionary and grammar of Karachay, the Turkic language of the Karachay people of the Caucasus. The language is normally written in Cyrillic; every word here is stored in one canonical spelling and shown in the script you choose — Cyrillic, Karachay Latin, or the spelling of one of the printed sources.
The tables are generated, not typed in. One engine builds every conjugation, case and possessive on the site — 966,156 forms from 8,941 entries — and the search answers from the same forms, so a word met in a real text leads back to its entry. Where a printed source attests a form, the data says so; where a paradigm is unverified, the data marks that too.
Where the definitions come from.
And for the spelling and the grammar.
The three scholars' own Latin spellings are available as display scripts, from the gear in the corner. Definitions are our own English, written from these sources and checked against a corpus of 19.6 million words; the sources' own wording is not reproduced.
