    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.

    ведь это же возможно переселить их в тот же Тянь Шань дабы не рушить их образ жизни, но уже на территории Кыргызстана на своей Родине. Братья кыргызы я сам казах, и у меня душа болит за наших соплеменников, их уже осталось чуть более 20 тысяч, поднимите вопрос на высоком уровне о их переселении в Кыргызстан! С уважением.

      @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.

    Thank you so very much dear Jeff Waalkes for making this video and sharing with us ... 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.

    • @SP-sv8ku
      @SP-sv8ku 2 года назад +8

      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.

    Greetings from Turkey ! I’ d ilke to felicitate you, you speak very good Kyrgyz language like a real Kyrgyz.. in the East of Turkey , there is a village called Ulupamir which was built by kyrgyz immigrants from Pamir mountains/ Afghanistan . Maybe someday you will visite it while The olders , aqsakals, originally from Pamir are still in life ..

      Üzüldüm. Niçin bu insanlara Kırgısiztan sahip çıkmıyor? Oysa kocaman ülkeleri var. Yaylaları, otlakları var. Bu Kırgızların bir kısmı Türkiye'ye yerleşti. Türkmenistan da aynı şekilde başka ülkelerde yaşayan Türkmenlere sahip çıkmıyor.

    Sizdin Kyrgyz or Kazak tiliniz ote jaksy eken. I am very impressed with how well you learned the language because a lot of foreigners struggle to acquire fluency in these languages. Of course, it's is for me as my mother tongue, but I have seen many people quite learning Kazakh because it was too hard for them to learn. Good job and good luck! I wish you success in your future endeavors!

I have to say you speak Kyrgyz language better than I do (even though Kyrgyz is my native language) , and so far, you've done much more for my people than any of the Kyrgyz people I know.
