The
Encyclopedia of Turkic Languages and Linguistics is a unique and comprehensive reference work, offering a systematic treatment of the Turkic languages from Old Turkic to the languages and varieties spoken today. Written by renowned authorities in the field, the Encyclopedia provides authoritative information on all aspects of the languages, today and in the past, from many different angles, as well as on the way these languages have been studied.

- Writing systems used for Turkic languages, their emergence, development, and current use
- The history of Turkic linguistics
- The acquisition of Turkic languages
- Language contact, areal linguistics, and multilingualism
