Turkish:

• Uygurcadan Türkçeye bilgisayarlı çeviri. BibTex - We should probably find and cite this, and also look into the other stuff Orhun/Tantuğ/Adalı have been up to.
• Akraba Ve Bitişken Diller Arasında Bilgisayarlı Çeviri İçin Karma Bir Model BibTeX This also has Turkmen-Turkish as a prototype, lacks lexsel. The prose seems to sacrifice intelligibility for the sake of using words with Turkic roots. Also has a corpus of around a million words that we might be able to get our hands on. Seems to be a turkish corpus

Evaluations

Since there seem to have been a number of prototypes, mostly for Chinese-Uyghur, it might make sense to compare these values with any evaluation those systems may have, and also the Turkic Apertium pairs crh-tur, kaz-tur, kaz-tat and gag-tur.

• Adalı &co seem to have worked a good bit on Uyghur analysis and disambiguation, so that would also be a good thing to compare.

Various Potential Corpora

• ELRA Uyghur Text corpus - they're not too eager to provide this
• The development of tagged Uyghur corpus
