khakas vocabulary - Turuz.info

Note that k and g occur in front-vocalic words, and x and gh in back-vocalic words.
The letters b, d, j, z, g, gh, ñ, l, r and y do not occur in word-initial position (except for
loanwords); the Kyzyl dialect allows sh and y in this position.
The Khakas-English vocabulary presented below is based mainly on the Khakas-Russian
dictionary edited by Baskakov and Inkizhekova-Grekul (1953). Many of the Russian loanwords
have been omitted here. To these materials, the words of the Sagay, Koybal, Kacha and Kyzyl
dialects in Radloff's dictionary (1893-1911) have been added. Occasionally, words form other
sources have been included.
Etymological references are being noted (as time goes by).
