1. Compiling Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk

   1072-01-01 · Baghdad, Iraq

   

   In Baghdad, al-Kashgari began compiling the Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, the first comprehensive dictionary of Turkic languages. The work was compiled across 1072–1074. The source gives a 1072–1074 compilation span; this card uses the documented start year because the schema does not accept date ranges.
