so i just looked up kazakh via the "languages tab". you can search languages by name, top-level family, macro area, number of child dialects, latitude, longitude, and, if you happen to know it, ISO-639-3 or glottocode (the website's own code).

I searched via language name, and when I clicked Kazakh, I got this:

a handy tree that shows me where exactly the language is located within its language family. if I scroll down it'll tell me whether or not that language is endangered, AND, IF I SCROLL FURTHER DOWN:

it gives an entire list of resources for that specific language!!! I cropped the screenshot for readability purposes but the columns in this table are name (as in author), title (of the resource), any field (idk what that's supposed to be sorry), year, pages (as in how many pages does the resource have), doctype (e.g. grammar, dictionary etc.), and provider. the latter refers to the source bibliography that the resource was taken from.

a highlight:

rough translation into english:

"Fear is fought with hope. That is the contrary effect. You have to give the people hope. Considering this, the understandable, reasonable accusations [against the people in russia] are politically without perspective. Again: They are understandable, reasonable, and legitimate, but politically without perspective. We are dealing with people who are convinced of their own helplessness and are terrified, and you want to put two kilogramms of guilt on top of that. What is supposed to come of that?"
