Dear Jalil, would you please join the mailing list here: http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general
Kyrgyz (ISO 639-3 kir), Kazakh (ISO 639-3 kaz) and Uigher (ISO 639-3 uig) are of high interest for our multilingual dictionary Ambaradan ( http://voxhumanitatis.org/content/ambaradan-owm2-storage-engine) and the three languages you mention are certainly among the less resourced ones where still a lot needs to be done. Just yesterday I asked about good fonts for our dictionary and got really good answers from here. Unfortunately your message was in the moderation queue (well I should be happy about this, because otherwise I would probably never have seen this mail). Would you please join us here? I believe it is the most apropriate place to talk. Have a nice day!
