Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers brought together in the present volume deal with grammatical, lexical, onomastic and historical issues of non-Muslim Turkic languages and dialects spoken in South Siberia, in Mongolia and in China, and with the areal and genetic relationships between them. All of these varieties are socially dominated by non-Turkic languages; many of them are acutely endangered and, in general, insufficiently described. A number of the articles deal with the oral traditions (i.e. epics, proverbs) of the peoples speaking these varieties. Some typological issues concerning the Turkic languages of the area are also touched upon.

Download or read book Peculiar Proverbs written by Stephen Arnott and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2008-12-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peculiar Proverbs is a hilarious and enlightening collection of genuine proverbs from around the world that ignores the sayings we are all familiar with and focuses on the more obscure. Some are deft, witty, and colorful, others are just plain weird, but they are all fascinating. The proverbs are grouped in topics ranging from work (or reasons not to), family life, love, food, age, religion, money, and many more. Humor and wisdom characterize these bizarre and quirky sayings, and they reveal much about their countries of origin, and plenty about human nature. Peculiar Proverbs includes sayings you won't find in any other collection, sometimes so surreal they defy you to decipher them, providing hours of entertainment. Remember: The man who tickles himself can laugh when he chooses. *Dogs and rude people have no hands (Italy) *God preserve us from pitchforks, for they make three holes (Switzerland) *It is not necessary for priests to marry as long as peasants have wives (Germany) *A mother-in-law, like the yucca tree, is useful underground (Cuba) *Better the gurgling of a camel than the prayers of a fish (Egypt) *Give a dog an appetizing name, and eat him (China) *There are two good people: one of them is dead, and the other one was not born (Estonia) *Mediocrity is climbing a molehill without sweating (Iceland) *You cannot drink water, it is not vodka (Russia) *A cow pat is wider when trodden on (Ireland)
