Free introductory-level textbooks for Pashto, Tajik, Uzbek and Uyghur can be found at the Centre for Languages of the Central Asian Region website.
I think the textbooks are meant to be used in a classroom or are meant to be used in conjunction with another learning resource. Nevertheless, it's nice to see some resources for these languages as it's very hard to find any other resources for them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I thought the same thing, but i think this all the video for uzbek: http://www.indiana.edu/%7Ecelcar/uzvideoaudio/uzbek.swf And if you click on the 'multi media cd rom' link, there's some material for Uyghur Tajik and Uzbek. This seems to just be demo material. Also weekly podcasts in 5 languages and uzbek video podcasts. Plus they seem to have put WMV of all their uzbek classes online in the video archive section. So for anyone interested in uzbek, loads of stuff. If you're interested in other c asian languages, it doesn't look usable stand alone, but worth checking back later... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I had went to the link a while ago and was pretty impressed. Of course, since I had an old 20 gig audio only Ipod, I did not download... I just had a birthday, and finally recieved my dream Ipod, the classic 160 gig video.
Now that I have enough room, I have been returning to all these posts and trying to add the things I had my eye on. Sadly this link is broken. Any one have a new one--especially of the class videos? Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here's the current site:
http://www.indiana.edu/~celcar/ They've changed the site around, and have both eliminated and added stuff, from what I can see. They also now sell introductory textbooks, of a sort, with audio and (I think) video. My impression, based on having seen the draft of one of them in advance, is that these materials have a lot of colored photos and other gimmicks for in-class conversational activities, but are short on explanation, and don't cover the entire grammar. They're intended for classroom instruction and not self-study, so despite my interest in the languages in question, I haven't bought any of them. But the materials on the site itself are free. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

They want you to register but it's free and there are resources for many languages.
