Argımak Attar - Altai Song

[@faryafaraji]

Arrangement & vocals by Farya Faraji. The Altai are a Turkic speaking ethnicity inhabiting the Altai Republic of Russia. Their traditional and historical culture was based on livestock and a nomadic or semi-nomadic structure, in which horses played an important, even central part, as seen in most of the mythologies of the steppes Turkic peoples and similar cultures. The instrumentation consists of a topshur (also called dombra in other countries), possibly the central instrument of Altai music, as well as many of the folk Turkic traditions of the steppes, such as Kazakhstan, (although the shape of the topshur can change from country to country, even culture to culture. The specific dombra I have is a Kazakh one). The dombra is often played in a rapid manner using the index finger, in order to produce a sound reminiscent of the galloping of horses. Khoomei and related forms of singing form an essential part of the music of this region. Lyrics in Altai: Attar, attar, siler kaydan mantap bardıgar? Attar, attar, siler neni sezip turıgar? Argımak attar siler kayda bardıgar? Baatırlar kaçan da mında cuvlaşkan, Kanı akturıp jerge jayılgan, Argımak attar siler kayda bardıgar? English translation: Horses, horses, where do you run? Horses, horses, what do you feel? Noble horses, where are you going? Once here warriors fought, Blood covered the ground, Noble horses, where are you going?

Thank you very much, kozhongchi (singer in Altai language)! You did good work. *Not dombra but topshur.

по-моему алтайский язык по звучанию очень сильно напоминает древнетюркский язык. это связано с тем, что горы Алтая стали надëжной защитой для немногих тюркютов переживших гибель второго тюркского каганата в 8 веке. алтайцы не приняли ислам, их язык не заполнен арабскими и персидскими заимствованиями и они самые прямые потомки древних тюрков..

[@moony7144]

@@uzunhsn2724 отчасти верно. Конечно ислам мы не приняли, но очень активно взаимодействовали с западными монголами, ойратами. Дошло до того, что русские вплоть до 20 века нас называли "белыми калмыками". Есть немного монгольских слов, да и есть парочка кланов явно монгольского происхождения: могол, халха. Ещë возможно монгольские: иркит, майман. На самом деле у нас есть огромное количество родов: от очень древних и исконно алтайских телëсов (от теле) и кыпчаков до более новых сойонг (потомки тувинцев), кыдат (потомки выходцев из Китая), чорос (ойратского происхождения) . Каждый, кто потерпел неудачу и был разбит в степи, нашëл приют в горах Алтая. Помнится на уроках литературы в пятом классе мы расшифровывали тюркские руны (орхоно-енисейская письменность). Вполне успешно.

[@uzunhsn2724]

@@moony7144 конечно надо учитывать что между алтайцами и тюркютами 1250 лет истории и Алтай стал домом не только для тюркютов. Тем не менее алтайский язык очень сильно напоминает древнетюркский язык. Киргизский язык тоже напоминает, но не настолько сильно, как алтайский. Казахский и уйгурский вообще звучат по другому. Огузские языки по звучанию напоминают немного древнетюркский, но перегружены очень сильно арабскими и персидскими словами-заимствованиями.

[@thewarriorfrog]

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.

Another important reason for the success of the Turks was their superior military technology and art of war. These nomads from the steppes could be credited with introducing the age of the horse'. The Turks used iron stirrup and horse- shoes that reinforced their striking power and the stamina of the cavalry, while horse- shoes provided greater mobility to the horse, stirrup gave the soldiers a distinct advantage.

[@akeeMM]

What? The age of the horse was always around since the days of the Seleucids who defeated several Roman armies with the use of Horse archers. The only meaningful victory the Turks ever had was over a crumbling, near bankrupt and constant civil war enduring empire. The 'Turks' then got their ass wiped by the Venetians, Romanians, Russians and the Spaniards. Stop changing history because you can't handle facts.

Before the rise of Genghis Khan Mongolic was spreading at westward and absorbing Turkic speakers (Janhunen, 2008). During the Mongol expansion, Turkic speakers whose tribes and states had been incorporated into the Mongol empire were so much more numerous than Mongols that, although Mongolian was the language of command, it was Turkic rather than Mongolic speech that was chiefly spread across Central Asia and the central and western steppe.

[@kutalbey]

Cengiz Han'ı yükselten Kıpçak Türkleri idi.

[@Wff646]

Only the Mongolian language of the Chagatai ulus and its successor Mogolistan retained its original language until the 16th century until the latter were pushed aside in the city of Fergana and Kashgaria by the closest and related Altai people known as the Kyrgyz. The reason for such a long preservation was simply that a large number of Mongols migrated there compared to other parts of the empire and Turkic speakers were only in the cities and valleys of Altai and Irtysh.

[@ShamanismCulture-S.C]

70% of the Mongolian army consisted of Turks. And the army language was generally Turkish
