A Return to Form?

Well, uh, needless to say, I got so busy with the Uzbek class that I never got around to updating my newly established blog about it ever again. It was a fantastic class and I highly recommend the Critical Languages Institute for anyone interested in learning one of the less-commonly-taught Eurasian languages taught there.

I am now back at my home institution, Georgetown University, and studying Turkish. I'm also in a Central Asian History and Politics course, so it's a double whammy of the Silk Road. I'll try and be more dutiful about updating, especially all of the Uzbek materials I've amassed. I'll also post about Turkish and about the Turkic cultures of Central Asia in general, though I think I'll shy away from politics and current events editorializing here...

I'd like to give a (tiny) shout out to the best Blogger blog out there, in my opinion, on Central Asia: the fabulous Chirayliq by Tinet and Ainur, dedicated to the "handsomeness of Central Asian men".
