The instrument was so cool! She was playing the string with her fingers and mouth. Preserving the wisdom.

Their clothings look like Shamanism celebration clothes. According to Chinese literatures, around 1000CE, the region was settled by tribes of Jurchen people who lived hunter gatherer lifestyle. They were noted for training Seahawks (海东青)

That instrument reminds me of one of the instruments if the Tuvans. I think the Tuvans are far away, aren't they? Are the related?

They look like Korean grandma and pa who can be easily seen on the countryside of korea. Very interesting.

[@omggiiirl2077]

Yes I was thinking the same thing they look very Korean! But they also look very inviting as well! I immediately saw a reflection of my Korean half looking at them.

The Nivkh language appears to be an isolate , with no known related languages .

[@TheBookReader-ug9qe]

I always thought the Indigenous people of Sakhalin Island were Ainu. I guess I was wrong 🇯🇵❤️🇷🇺

[@archeofutura_4606]

The Ainu are indigenous to the southern part of the island and the Kurils, while the Nivkh are indigenous to the north and interior of the island

[@MightySparrow-mr]

Their language sounds like Korean

[@MrAllmightyCornholioz]

Not really tbh. They sound Russian.

[@Togolok1]

The older couple speak their mother language, and the majority of people speak Russian.

🤡

[@CynthiaWang808]

They are more like the offspring of Mogolian.

What a shame they were spoken over with translation. Would have been far better to have subtitles. I’d have preferred to listen to the language so haven’t bothered with watching the video. Too annoying.
