    I'm Kyrgyz, and I'm from Kyrgyzstan. As for me, my ancestry stayed in Kyrgyzstan under control of Russian Empire. That's why, now I live in Kyrgyzstan. I'm very surprized by this way of living. Probably it must be difficult to live in such conditions. Also, I would like to thank you for your great job there. Actually I've already seen some documental films on this, but I think I've got something new from your video. It was cognitive and interesting so much. Thank you one more time.

      MatrixOfDynamism Certainly, we do. Nowadays Islamic faith is the primary religion in our country. But there was a time when we believed in Heaven as mongolian do. Unfortunatelly Islamic faith in country has started being more likely as tool of dirty political games.

    I am Turkish and understood most of the conversations in Kirgiz (Kyrgyz). I can definitely understand the subject. I always thought Gagavuz and Azerbaijan dialects are closest especially Gagavuz Turkish is the closest. I was surprised at how much I understood. I think it is closer to Tatar Turkish

      This language is not pure Kyrgyz that’s why. It’s a mix of Uzbek and Kyrgyz. They are Kyrgyz who migrated to the pamirs during time of kokand khanate when Uzbeks controlled Kyrgyzstan. Uzbek and Uyghur is easier for Turkish speakers to understand than Kyrgyz. If you listen to modern Kyrgyz music (which has more Russian and pure Kipchak words) it’s very difficult for Turkish speakers to understand.

      @Zardasht Spitama FYI; people in Turkey can relate linguistically and culturally with the people of Central Asia because that’s their origin. They migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia (Asia-Minor) some 1000 years ago. They share some vocabulary due to common cultural influences, but the languages are unrelated and very different. Interesting to know that the Modern Persian language’s origins is traced to Bactria. Bactria /ˈbæktriə/ (Bactrian: βαχλο, Bakhlo), or Bactriana, was an ancient region in Central Asia.

I am so happy to be able to watch first hand on how these people live in such a remote place plus they are so humble and seem really happy with their environment which they adapt to it with no issues eventhough it is indeed very harsh. Amazing bunch of human beings.
    And I do pity the poor horse who slipped and hurt himself - he must have been put to death which is not shown or else how can one administer medical aid on the poor horse as he must have twisted or even suffered broken bones with the fall ... God Bless you for really going all out to reach these people, study their daily lives & culture and to share with all of us who do not have the means nor opportunity to visit much as we want to ...
    I've always been interested in 3rd World Countries and how the people live and its culture. I've had opportunities to travel to Pakistan, Tibet (5x) and Kathmandu (5x) + can say places like Laos, Ladakh surrounds & some parts of India but have never been more fascinated with ppl from Pakistan & Tibet who are lovely, simple people and so rich in their culture.

      i study linguistics and i have noticed something similar among some indigenous people here in my country (Canada). a man who gave a talk to us in Labrador (far east, Atlantic) said that he was able to speak to Cree-speakers in Alberta (middle west -- the last province before BC which is on the Pacific coast). Cree and Innu are both nomadic/mobile people historically. some linguists think that nomadic communities maintain their language similarities for a longer time because they stay in contact with neighbouring relatives for longer than settled communities.
      i don't know much about Turkic history but I know that Turkic communities were often nomadic and travelled long distances. maybe the Turkic languages are very similar for the same reason.
