Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 01:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Books on Dungan

[edit]
Have to go to Seattle to find these...

In response to your query on my talk page: (1) I doubt that the books on Dungan published in USSR/Kyrgyzstan are available for sale anywhere in the world (other that maybe some obscure second-hand bookstore): there were maybe 10 books published over the last 30-40 years, with very small print runs (around 500 copies). I have only seen them in US university libraries (specifically, those of University of Washington in Seattle - see photo at http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, and Indiana University, Bloomington). Perhaps a major regional or university library in Beijing or Lanzhou or Urumqi can have some of them as well. (2) At least one of Svetlana Rimsky-Korsakoff's book (the one on Iasyr Shivaza, ISBN 3-631-43963-6) is still available on Amazon.com (and possibly amazon.co.uk or amazon.co.jp); it has an overview of the language, and sample texts. Don't know if they would ship to China. (3) There may be some online resources (in Russian, I suppose) linked from the Russian wiki article, Дунганский язык. (4) There may be more stuff published in China in Chinese - try searching on "东干语" on google.cn. Those probably will more likely be articles in some academic journal out of Lanzhou or Urumqi rather than actual books. (5) I have photocopied some pages of the Dungan-Russian dictionary for my use when contributing to the wiki article, so if you want, email me directly on gmail.com (with the same username as in wikipedia), and I can send you some scans by email, under the fair use doctine, so at least you can see what it looks like.
