Gabelentz died on September 3, 1874 at his family home in Lemnitz near Triptis .
His Eléments de la grammaire mandchoue (Altenburg 1833) are the fruit of several years of study . In the magazine for Die Kunde des Morgenlandes , which he co-founded , he provided articles on Mongolian and then published, in conjunction with Julius Löbe (1805–1900), a new critical edition of the Gothic translation of the Bible from Ulfilas, along with grammar, a Greek-Gothic dictionary and a Latin translation ( Leipzig 1843, 2 volumes).
Later he turned to the languages of the Finnish linguistic tribe, the first in Germany to work on them according to rational principles. In the aforementioned journal (Volume 2) he published a Mordovian grammar and (Volume 4) a comparison of the two Cheremiss dialects , and soon afterwards the basics of Syrian grammar (Altenburg 1841).
His Brief Grammar of the Cherocean Language in Höfer's Journal for the Science of Language (Volume 3), the articles on linguistics , of which the first three volumes (Leipzig 1852) Grammars of the Dayak -, Dakota - move in a language area that is almost new to us . and Kiriri language, as well as its grammar with dictionary of the Kassia language (Leipzig 1857).

The reports from the Society for Research into History and Antiquity in the Osterland also contain numerous and valuable contributions from him to the knowledge of the history of his closer fatherland. After his death there was also published: History of the great Liao, translated from the Manchu (Saint Petersburg 1877). The number of languages which Gabelentz researched more or less thoroughly and of which he first worked on a large part scientifically was over 80; since 1846 he was a full member of the Academy of Sciences in Leipzig . In 1868 he was accepted as a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg .
