- In this episode of the Indigenous Series, I travel to the countryside of Anatolia to search for one of the lost Abkhaz villages of Turkey. along the way, I also try delicious produce in Bursa's local market and explore the nature of Pamukkale, Turkey's famous natural sight.
Locations in this video
Istanbul, Turkey
Bursa, Turkey
Rüştiye, Inegöl, Turkey
Pamukkale, Turkey
Where in the world should the Indigenous series go next? 🌎
Go to Greece or Philippines. Greece for best honey, olives, olive oil, yogurt and feta cheese and a good vacation.
Or Philippines where there so many languages like theres a language in each region or province like Ilocos they speak Ilocano or in Visayas most of them speak Bisaya. I say Pampamga in Luzon because there are many foreigners there. But it's best to go there when theres no corona. Stay safe!!
You should look for south america or south east asia. They have a lot of language that they don't familiar with. For example as an Indonesian, Indonesia has many indigenous local languages, but unfortunately the only indigenous local language that I speak only Javanese and I don't speak Sundanese, Batak, etc. I guess that also happened in Philippines and south america, they only know spanish, but not there indigenous language
UK
Saudi Arabia. They have opened up to visitors now. Search for the Faifi Language in the Jabal Fayfa region.
Denis Daniswara I am so excited for my SE Asia and South America series, I have over 100 episodes planned for each of the regions!
These videos are always so wholesome when you chat with the speakers of the indigenous languages that you search for.
The people that I get to meet are so amazing, they are the true reason that I do these trips :)
@@ThePlanetProject That's because a loving person lives in a loving world, and everyone we meet is our mirror. :)
I learn something new everytime I see a new video and changes the way I see the world.....
There are so many things to learn about our world and I’m glad I get to share its untold stories with you!
Your videography and editing get better every video!
I can't stop myself from commenting so much under your videos, but they are always super interesting, since you meet with locals.
Caucasus region is fascinating and although I have to wait a couple of years to travel on my own, if I go to Georgia, I will definitely want to see Abkhazia too. The first thing which comes to my mind is specifically their language, as you said - so many consonants, and as a person who writes in Cyrillic every day it's quite intriguing to see the Abkhaz Cyrillic with so many odd-looking letters.
Abkhaz Cyrillic is so unique and the amount of unique letters to Abkhaz almost makes it feel like an entirely different writing system!

As an Abkhaz myself from Rustiye (Koyarkit in Abhaz) , first I want to thank you for your great work If you happen to visit here would like to welcome you.
Also I must correct somethings one we didnt arrive here after Soviets In fact 53 before they red revolution during caucasus war.
Secondly Abkhazia is not disputed by Russia it@s independence is disputed by Georgians.
yes
Just started watching this channel recently but I’m already loving it . Keep up the great work, I have hope that this channel will blow up.
Love from Circassia
How do you only have 5K subs?? Amazing stuff you’re doing with this project. Keep it up and within a few years I guarantee you’ll have over 100K
My bestfriend here is Abkhazian too ❤ love from Turkey. Abkhazians usually live in Sakarya city
I really love the cinematic level up everytime I watch your vlogs. Soar high TJ!
Everytime you upload a new video, I learn a new thing. This channel is awesome
She was laughing happily
You have a great video quality and a awesome "philosophy" behind this channel, you will definitely go big in the future! I'm 17 and it's fascinating to think about- that someone in the same age can speak about/over 13 languages, meanwhile I'm struggling with five, haha. And it also must be a big pleasure to see all this places and communicate with lots of humans/cultures and learn more about them.
Something I definitely want to goal in life!
Greetings from Germany
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best in Germany 🇩🇪😄
I really enjoyed this video keep up the good work 💪
Well done with your turkish man. It can be quite a difficult language for westerners.
Super cool video! You should upload some of your travel videos as clips on TIktok!
Young Man your doing wonderful work keep it like your videos very much 👍👍 by the way happy Halloween 🎃
great work!
Firstly, i'd like to say what a great video (again!) your video editing gets better every time.
Can I ask how old you are? and also could you consider making a video about 1. Tips for travelling (safely)/how you travel. 2. How you learn languages
Thank you for enjoying! Right now I’m 17, and I’ll definitely make a video about how I travel! I did do a video about how I learn languages a few months ago titled “what is the best way to learn a language” if that interests you
Thank you for your video!
It's nice that you are interested in Abkhazia.
Come to our little&friendly country, I hope you would like it and won’t regret✨
I love the prayer sound in muslim countries:)
Thank you
Nice work! Those white crystal rock formations look amazing! Are they made out of salt? Is that a hot spring?
Pamukkale is a series of calcium terraces and there’s water in the basins! It’s such a beautiful spot especially to enjoy the sunset
@@ThePlanetProject Is the water boiling like Yellowstone?
No it’s surprisingly quite cool (I’m pretty sure most of it is just pumped nowadays to keep a constant flow)
You should visit Saudi Arabia because there is a language spoken by a few called Faifi. It is like an old arabic. It is located in the Jabal Fayfa region.
I have been planning to visit once they announced their new visa policy this time last year, and Faifi is high on my list for episodes to make in the Middle East!
Great! I have wanted to go to Saudi Arabia for a while. You are very lucky to be able to travel around the world and meet new people! Good luck to you!
What happened to the Abkhaz speakers video?
In Turkey, by the way, there are a large number of diasporas from the Caucasus, this is due to various historical events(many of which are not very good..) and who live there for a long time and have not even lost their language (which is strange ). At least this is the situation of the Circassians and Ossetians.If you want to find these languages in Turkey it will not be that difficult.
Yeah even in Istanbul I met so many Circassian peoples, when I come back to Turkey very soon I plan to make videos about the Chechens, Laz, Adyghe, and many more unique languages!
@@ThePlanetProject In general, your knowledge of the Caucasus is quite good , people sometimes do not even know what it is and what peoples live there... (especially with the peoples of the North Caucasus so)
Tefvik Esenç who was the last surviving speaker of Ubykh lived and died there.
Turkes has the biggest caucasus population
The second biggest language in Turkey is kurdish, but like u said it was forbidden to speak kurdish, now in public People can speak kurdish but not in school.
Okey wow, at the start i made a weird face bc i was thinking "is that azan? I feel like that's azan" and i was genuinely surprised XD
Love you
Do you reconize Abkhazia as an indipendent country?
Well, from a geopolitical point of view, like the United Nations I would say no because it’s recognized as part of Georgia (and occupied by Russia), but from the perspective of a traveler it’s almost definitely a yes because you have to get a different visa and you get stamped in if you enter from either Georgia or Russia
Are they abazins or abkhazians?
Abkhazians
@@ThePlanetProject thanks
@@ThePlanetProject Abkhazian are Georgian :))) Correct you word abazins apsuan are north caucasus
Sorry i just want correct you something about languages in Turkey, it was not under ottoman empire that they wanted get rid of other languages, it was after ottoman empire when the young turks got the power and build the modern Turkey with secular laws.
Yeah you are very right and I noticed I accidentally said Ottoman Empire instead of Ataturks Republic while editing haha
@@ThePlanetProjectyeah true :) under Ataturk time 😊
Does this man even have school? Also how does this man even afford his travels?
I go to normal public school and travel during breaks and I save up from work and travel on a budget!
well, I have never heard Abkhazian language, but in my opinion what you're talking about is called Laz/Chan language, which is one of Kartvelian languages( Georgian, Svan, Megrelian and Laz) and actually that was Georgia's territory ( called Tao-Klarjeti )from the beginning, but the then, while Russian-Turkish wars they joined this area. It's sad that Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region is also occupied by Russia.
The Abkhaz language is a completely distinct northwest Caucasian language. Laz is a Kartvelian language spoken in and around east Turkey (and is also very interesting!). This is its Wikipedia page en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abkhaz_language
@@ThePlanetProject oh well, my mistake
