Lonely Planet Central Asia Phrasebook (Lonely Planet Phrasebooks)

Rating:
Summary: A useful, easy to use book!
Review: I strongly recommend that anyone going to Central Asia get this book. It is full of necessary phrases that will help you get where you need to go. It is very compact and can fit easily into a pocket. It is also very comprehensive, containing large sections of phrases in Uyghur, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Pashto, and Tajik, plus smaller sections on ten other regional languages. Also, it has a section outlining the history of Central Asian languages and certain grammatical/linguistic essentials.

Again, if you are going to Central Asia, invest in this book!

Rating:
Summary: A reasonabley good effort
Review: I thought that the structure of the guide is such that it makes it rather difficult for a person to begin to construct his own phrases with what has already been given. There should be more information about the basic grammer of turkic languages.
