Imagine a country where the president is like "REALLLLY" trying to reclaim your traditional roots while simeltaneously rebuilding everything out of marble and rapping with his grandson. That's only a SMALL piece of #Turkmenistan.

It doesn't sound very convincing, maybe he is a Lo'qay or O'zbek, if you are a Qozoq and understood this guy from Tojikston, then he is a Lo'qay, because you, Qozoqs, will not understand the Farg'ona dialect (literary) of the O'zbek language, and the Lo'qay language is a bit like the Qozoq language, but for Qozoqs, the Lo'qay language may sound like O'zbek because of persian borrowings

She clearly has the time of her life co-hosting the episode, and she's really good at it, so it makes me orders of magnitude happy that we will see her again.

Thank you very much for the video :) My grand grandmother lived and was a doctor in Turkmenistan during Soviet times. She had to fake her death during an earthquake to flea the country and come back to Russia. Her daughter (my grandma) really liked wearing the tahya hat. She still keeps it. I would really like to go there someday maybe through work, we’ll see.

bro that Pishme looks like the Gujarati snack of "Sakkarpara" 😄😄❤️ edit: also we have that stealing of shoes is also a tradition in India too 😂😂

[@jpbatsu]

Great co-hosting by Malika there. And it’s nice that you had used the traditional country music as the outro, instead of the usual whistle. You should do that in the following countries somehow. ü

This episode deserves to be called one of the best! Turkmenistan is really an amazing country. Thank you for this episode.

Actually, I've been to Turkmenistan in 2019 on a transit visa as an independent traveler. I was able to move around freely and I even hitchhiked :)

[@Szymek1243]

Lucky. My goal in the future is to travel here however visa process is extremally hard and expensive. Wish me good luck.

When the Seljuk Turks conquered Anatolia they didn't only bring their language & culture but also life-forms with them, Tulips and Turkish Shepherd dog breeds have their origin back in Turkmenistan 🇹🇲🇹🇷

Etymological explanation of the word "Telpek". In fact, this word is rooted in the word Tepe. Tepe=Top, Head Tepe-lik =All kinds of clothing, hats placed on the head. It has evolved into Tepelik-Telpek with the change of place of the first and second syllables, which is frequently encountered in Turkmen, Turkey Turkish and Azerbaijani Turkish. As a matter of fact, the name "Kalpak", which is given to the same hats in Turkey Turkish, was formed by the same kind of word change. Kapa or Kafa (Head) = Head, Kapa-lık = Everything worn on the head, hat..

13:20 "Süýtli çaý" or "milk tea" is a default type of tea in Kazakhstan and India, as far as I know. To have the tea without a milk you need to explicitly say so. But in Turkmenistan it's not the default tea type, you need to say that you want a tea with milk.

Ethnogenesis of the Turkic peoples. Languages, peoples, migrations, customs. Andrey Tikhomirov, 2020 "The Turkic peoples are formed on a vast space in the Altai Mountains. In the process of development of Turkic peoples - their carriers, dialects and languages were formed, characterized by similarities - as a result of the unity of their origin and by differences, which are explained by the collapse of the common base language into dialects, and then into separate languages and groups of languages." The term Turkic represents a broad ethno-linguistic group of peoples including existing societies such as Altai, Azerbaijanis, Balkars, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Crimean Karaites, Gagauz, Karachays, Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Khakas, Krymchaks, Kyrgyz people, Nogais, Qashqai, Tatars, Turkmens, Turkish people, Tuvans, Uyghurs, Uzbeks, and Yakuts and as well as ancient and medieval states such as Dingling, Bulgars, Alat, Basmyl, Onogurs, Shatuo, Chuban,Pannonian Avars, Göktürks, Oghuz Turks, Kankalis, Khazars, Khiljis, Kipchaks, Kumans, Karluks, Bahri Mamluks, Ottoman Turks, Seljuk Turks, Tiele, Timurids, Turgeshes, Yenisei Kirghiz, and Huns, Tuoba,Tauri and the Xiongnu.[24][25][26][27][28]

Thank you very much guys. I've been there twice already and going again next week. Fascinating country, I love it very much. I think what you didn't mention is the natural beauty of Turkmenistan. The Darai-dere, the cave systems of Kutinanga, the dinasour imprints on the rocks. Very few people get to see these, these are incredible and utterly mindblowing.

I visited 3 of Sovietstan republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan) and there're 2 remaining ; Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Turkmenistan is hard to visit as visa is costly and its so hard to get and on top of that, you need to be accompanied by a guide. I hope they will open Turkmenistan and make it easier to visit as the country seems to have amazing history.

I saw Malika's content on TikTok, she's more Uzbek than Türkmen. Her father is deeply influenced by Uzbeks and his language is not even real Türkmen, it sounds like Uzbek. And she even doesn't know Türkmençe. The clothes and stuff are okay but they misrepresented us. There should be real Türkmens in the video... Anyways, congrats 😏

[@akylrysgal6242]

That’s right, Malika identifies herself as Uzbek, and she does not know Turkmen, though her father speaks a Khwarezmian dialect of the Turkmen language which is influenced by the old Kypchak language. There was another presenter in this video, Maral, a girl from Turkmenistan who probably should have been the lead Turkmen narrator here. Having said this, Malika’s efforts in presenting Turkmenistan in the best possible way should be appreciated.
