György Kara studies the languages, historical texts, and cultural history of Central and Inner Asia, with particular attention to Mongolic and Turkic languages. Much of the work involves reading, translating, and analyzing old manuscripts and inscriptions—such as Middle Mongol Buddhist texts, rock inscriptions, and etymologies of words—to understand how these languages and cultures developed and interacted.
