Beskrivning
There are many excellent books dealing with Old Turkic, Preclassical and Classical Mongolian and Literary Manchu individually, but none providing in a single volume a comprehensive survey of all the three major Altaic languages. The present volume attempts to fill this gap; at the same time it reviews also the much debated Altaic Hypothesis. The book is intended for use by students at university level as well as by general readers with a basic knowledge of linguistics. The 39 language texts analysed in the volume are discussed within their historical and cultural context, thus vastly enlarging the scope of the purely linguistic investigation.

"...the book represents the best traditions of classical philology (...) it is comprehensive and of very high quality. Students and teacher who will use this book will get a good philological foundation for their studies in Altaic philology." – András Roná-Tas, in: Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. 64/2 (2011)"Vieles, was ich aus Anfängertagen zu ‘kennen’, gar zu ‘wissen’ glaubte, wurde mir hier neu erschlossen und die souveräne Beherrschung des gesamten Stoffes durch die Verfasser bietet praktisch auf jeder Seite reiche (und manchmal beschämende) Belehrung. Das Buch ist hervorragend zum Selbststudium geeignet und ist selbstverständlich auch eine ideale Grundlage für Lehrveranstaltungen. (…) Das Wissen, das es vermittelt, kann quasi als ‘Goldstandard’ für die Ausbildung angehender Altaisten betrachtet werden (…) und das dem erfahrenen Altaisten eine Fülle neuer Erkentnisse und Einsichten bietet (…) mit Abstand das beste, das Rez. je gesehen hat, kurz gesagt: Ihre Reise durch das Labyrinth der altaischen Philologie beginnt mit diesem Buch." – Stefan Georg, Bonn, in: Ural-Altaische Jahrbücher 25 (2012/2013)
