This development is another proof that Turkmen-language terminological and academic publications are gaining international recognition.
The Makul Dictionary had previously been included in the libraries of leading universities around the world. In particular, it was cataloged in the Stanford University library system. It has also been placed in the library system of Harvard University, one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
In addition, the dictionary has been included in Google Books. This provides wide opportunities for researchers, students, and translators around the world to find and use it in digital format.
The presence of the Makul Dictionary in prestigious institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, and the New York Public Library, as well as on the Google Books platform, demonstrates that the Turkmen language is gaining an increasingly significant place in the international academic space. This also contributes to making scientific and terminological works in the Turkmen language more accessible worldwide.
