This book, now back in print having been unavailable for many
years, is one of the most important contributions to Turkic and
Mongolic linguistics, and to the contentious 'Altaic theory'.
Proponents of the theory hold that Turkish is part of the Altaic
family, and that Turkish accordingly exists in parallel with
Mongolic and Tungusic-Manchu. Whatever the truth of this theory,
Gerard Clauson's erudite and vigorously expressed views, based as
they were on a remarkable knowledge of the lexicon of the Altaic
languages and his outstanding work in the field of Turkish
lexicography, continues to command respect and deserve attention.
