Abstract
The authors have constructed semiautomatically a Japanese-Uighur dictionary consisting of about 20, 000 items. This paper describes the process of generating our Japanese-Uighur dictionary from an available Uighur-Japanese one. We have investigated the vocabulary of our dictionary and found it includes about 80% of 2, 000 high-priority words of Japanese. We have also investigated the reasons why each word of the remaining 20% of 2, 000 high-priority words is not included in our dictionary, and have classified the words not included to five groups according to the reasons we found through our investigation.
