LangFocus RUclips channel does an eye-opening discussion of Turkic languages, amazingly, mutually intelligible ... across an area larger than Canada! And now, as you have kindly shown, across more than 2 millennia. Thank you for running this at a speed we can follow. It merits watching several times.
In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.
Sorry? 191 bce? I thought that the beginning was at least 1000 years earlier as it would be almost impossible to spread so quickly with technology available at that time... They might be having a lot of children but also death rate among children was insanely high till 19th century... The population spread couldn't be so quick in ancient time...
altaic people were the first to ride horses, and they introduced cavalry to the world. its easy to make big journeys, and thats how mongols managed to maintain almost all of asia in the 13th cenury
@@ShahanshahShahin didn't they basically get Parsianised because they stayed like 100 year in iran and they recruited Iranians into there ranks ? i am sure they used farcy ans the official state language they even give the name Kurdistan (a parsian name scheme) to the lands they give to there kurdish commanders.
The Turks have constantly been an imperial people. They have made a habit of empire building, and although none of their structures have attained the imposing dimensions of the Mongol achievement, many of them have been far more lasting. The maps show at least a dozen states of the first rank which have been constructed by Turkish peoples, and another dozen built by Turkish leaders, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a military aristocracy of their own race.
From Canada: never too late to learn, and thank you ... about time someone pointed out the depth and profound significance of this culture. I had no idea. Reason enough to welcome Turkey into the EU, maybe?

Indo-Europeans. The British alone probably have done more even I'd hazard to say.
There are a few errors. Oghuz Turks were already in Asia Minor by 1071
Very nice video about Turkic peoples!!!
Turkic now is inside Transeurasian languages family, together with Korean, Mongolian, tungusic and japonic ❤️
Koreanic and Japonic aren’t Altaic at all
@@papazataklaattiranimam what I say is transeurasian languages family
@@augustemma3842 it didn’t exist
That's highly debated, and losing traction every year that passes. Transeurasian is basically Altaic+, just renamed.

very interesting. As a Chinese I feel sorry for those being affected in XJ.
I am glad to see someone who knows the history of the Turks.
I hate to see how Turks stole kurdish land.

I have Turkic DNA in me but it may come from Native American DNA.
nice video, but the Karakalpakh language is Kipchak too, so the northern Uzbekistan should be yellow

What about the Seljuk Turks?
...and the influence of Genghis Khan?
i think those guys were not settled and were nomadic .
Seljuk were Oghuz Turks the yellow ones
