This short volume contains the Proceedings of the 58th Session of the Permanent International Altaistic Conference held in Dunajská Streda (Slovakia) 6 – 11 September 2015. Our local partner was the Vambéry Civic Society the members of which hosted us magnanimously. We had an unforgettable week together and now we are happy to present this special volume containing the materials we got from the participants. I am personally very grateful for the contribution of Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ölmez, Doç. Dr. Tülay Çulha, Zeynep Pınar Can and Dr. Kinga Szálkai who did their best to carry out this uneasy work.

We brought all the materials as they were sent to us and edited them according to the format of the Türk Dilleri Araştırmaları. Nevertheless we were unable to make emendations in the language of texts, so they remained as they were sent to us.

Last but not least we want to express our thankfulneass to our hosts in Dunajská Streda, first of all
