Finally, it's
out - the dictionary that we've long been waiting for! The new
1,695 page English-Azerbaijani volume, compiled by Professor
Oruj Musayev, contains 130,000 terms-more than twice the size
of its 1998 companion volume-the Azerbaijani-English dictionary
of 645 pages which has 45,000 terms. Both dictionaries are published
in the new modified Latin script, the official alphabet of the
Republic of Azerbaijan since late 1991. The publication of both
volumes has been sponsored by Exxon Azerbaijan.
The publication of this dictionary signifies yet another milestone
in the linguistics history of the Azeri language. It also means
that Azerbaijanis will no longer have to learn Russian to have
strong language resources available to facilitate their learning
English. The substantial work of Musayev, 74, represents the
accumulation of studying the English language and grammar since
the university, and is an enormous legacy to both present and
future generations in strengthening ties between Azerbaijanis
and the English-speaking international community.
