The key techniques and methods for the construction of modern Uyghur language (MUL) corpus are presented. The techniques and methods included MUL corpus, MUL corpus pre-processing, MUL corpus statistics, MUL stemming and MUL data analysis; on the basis of related works we then developed an enhanced modern Uyghur Common Words (UCW)-glossary. We conducted basic inspections upon the words from two perspectives namely the usage frequency and distribution. Upon developing enhanced MUCW glossary we considered the number of word types, word frequency, word length, and the number of texts used as major factors.
