Introduction

This dictionary is, to our knowledge, the first comprehensive

Turkmen/English dictionary to be printed. It consists of over 10,000

words and definitions and is intended as a general-purpose dictionary.

This dictionary was conceptualized, researched, and written as a

secondary project of Peace Corps volunteers living in Turkmenistan,

aided by Peace Corps staff and local counterparts. Its first printing

was funded by a Small Project Assistance grant from the United States

Goverment through Peace Corps Turkmenistan. We hope that it will aid in

communication and mutual understanding between the people of our two

countries.

Please direct any comments, corrections, or ommissions to Turkmen

Dictionary Project, c/o Peace Corps Turkmenistan, P.O. Box 258,

Krugozor, Central Post Office, Ashgabat 744000.

Notes on Method

Every attempt was made to find the most reasonable and accurate

translation for all words. In cases where a single Turkmen word has no

single equivalent in English, multiple possible translations are

separated by a comma, i.e.:

çekisme discussion, debate

When a word has various meaning in Turkmen, the multiple meanings

are separated by numbers, i.e.:

gujak 1. embrace 2. armfull

When a two completely different words are spelled alike, their

different meanings are separated by Roman numerals, i.e.:

saz I. music, musical II. accurate, intact
