^#smrgSAHAF Kurtuluş Yolunda: A Work on Asian Litarature in a Turkish - Uzbek Mixed Language -

This book presents an analysis of a text written in the 1930s on a number of Central Asian Turkic poets of the early part of this century. The text is of significance due to the "mixed" nature of its language. It presents the first and only written evidence of a system that evolved from a mixture of Turkish and Uzbek, the native language of the two authors respectively. In addition to the manuscript itself, the book contains a linguistic analysis of the text-language, notes on the historical events of the period covered in the text as well as commentary on some of the poets mentioned therein.
