The third book of the “Makul Language Series” project, aimed at developing the Turkmen language and building a bridge between different cultures — “Makul English & Turkmen Proverbs” — has now been presented to readers through one of the largest book platforms in the United States, Barnes & Noble.
As is known, the books of the Makul dictionary platform are also published via Amazon, reaching a wide global audience. The new publication is now additionally available through Barnes & Noble Press, making it accessible to readers from different parts of the world.
Barnes & Noble is one of the largest book retail networks in the United States, with millions of books and publications available on its official online platform. The platform features works by authors from around the world and is widely used by both academic circles and general readers. Publishing a book on such a platform increases its international visibility.
“Makul English & Turkmen Proverbs” is a comprehensive collection of English and Turkmen proverbs. The book includes explanations of English proverbs in Turkmen as well as Turkmen proverbs with their English equivalents, clearly demonstrating the linguistic and cultural connections between the two peoples. Proverbs reflect the history, life experience, and values of every nation. During the preparation of this work, it was revealed that many proverbs share similar meanings, showing that different cultures often express the same universal ideas.
Prepared by a team of scholars led by Dr. Dovran Orazgylyjov and published with the support of the Makul Hyzmat Translation Center, this book is the third volume of the “Makul Language Series.” It continues the previously published “Makul English–Turkmen Dictionary” and “Makul English–Turkmen Language Handbook.” The series serves not only as a linguistic resource but also as an important guide for strengthening cross-cultural understanding.
