Title: Nice, tidy grammatical sketch of Kazakh
Review: Karl Krippes has once again provided a much needed resource in area tremendously lacking in good information. With the importance of Central Asia on the rise, the need for quality publications concerning the Kazakh language for both students and language specialist is clearly evident. The author has made a very nice overview of the grammar of the language.Particularly strong, is the affix list which helps tremendously with tranlsating activities. It is a compact, easily read grammar -- well organized.I would have liked to have seen, a larger vocabulary list (especially verbs) included as part of the book, but I don't think that was in the scope of the author's intention.Overall, a great addition to the Kazakh specialist's reference collection -- well done!
