Where can Americans learn Turkmen (not Turkish) language in America?

Thanks. Z.O. Dear Z.O.: To my knowledge, the only place you can learn Turkmen is at Indiana University. Here is the information from the CARLA database for this summer’s program. It also looks as if they offer a distance program, although there was no description about what that entailed, so you may want to contact the Slavic Department and speak with Jerzy Kolodziej about it. Indiana University also houses the Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region (CelCAR). Although they have not yet produced anything in Turkmen, I believe there are plans to do so. You need to contact them directly. My guess is that some of the private language schools would also offer Turkmen. You will need to contact them individually. Sorry the pickings are so slim, but there is the perception that if one knows Turkish, then one can get along in Turkmen. Not a very comforting thought. That’s what people used to think of when they mixed up Farsi and Dari in the not too distant past! Dora Johnson Language:
