The "Uyghur dictionary", published from 1977 until 1998 by Steiner-Verlag, Wiesbaden, has been retro-digitalized from Dec. 2007 until May 2009 with the sponsorship of the DFG. One part of the material, the verbs, has been updated and is now available in print and as digital version in the Internet. The rest of the material (the nouns, pronouns, and particles) is the subject of the present project. With the beginning of the research project "Wörterbuch des Altuigurischen" of the "Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen" in 2016 the whole material will be available for further research.
