COLT
Annotated Corpus of Old Turkic
COLT is an open-access, lemmatised, multi-layered digital corpus of Old Turkic runiform inscriptions. It adapts to Turkic philology the long tradition of great textual corpora in Greek and Latin studies (the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, the Perseus Digital Library, the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae).
Every line is presented in four parallel strata (runic, transliteration, transcription, trilingual translation), and every token is fully analysed at the level of lemma, morpheme, and etymology, with alternative readings recorded side by side.
