ANTHRO-3 is an electronic comparative-typological system of German, Uzbek and Russian personal names.
Names in the three languages are classified by the same criteria: shared international names are told apart from the national-cultural layer, and a comparative table is built by etymological and semantic groups. The results help develop intercultural competence in teaching German, Uzbek and Russian.
