Turkic people are really interesting folk, don’t you know?

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

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.

Xiongnu kingdoms as well The history of the Gaoju is given in the respective entry in WS 103 + (pp. 2505-2508); until the beginning of Text 1.056/B it is extracted as follows. 高車,蓋古赤狄之餘種也初號為狄歷,北方以為敕勒,諸夏以為高車、丁零。 其語略與匈奴同而時有小異,或云其先匈奴之也。 The Gaoju are probably the remaining tribes of the ancient Chidi [lit. 'the red Di']. Initially they were called Dili. People in the north called them Chile, whereas people in China proper called them Gaoju or Dingling. Their language is roughly the same as that of the Xiongnu but at times has minor differences from that. Some say that their ancestors were the nephew of [i.e. indirectly related to] the Xiongnu.

Turkic people triggered several historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Eastern Roman Empire.

[@smtuscany]

Not to mention the fact that the establishment of Ottoman Empire caused a surge in customs duties for Europe-India-China silk road, thus pushing Atlantic countries like Portugal and Spain to seek alternate routes to reach those countries. Consequently, Portugal started to explore the route circumventing Africa and Spain tries to reach Asia by going west. Final results of this initial event were African colonization and the conquest of the Americas,

An interesting fact: When we the Hungarians aka Magyars moved south from the Ural Mountains thousands of years ago and mixed with the Nomadic Horse Archers even adopting Tengrism from them, before moving to the Carpathian Basin, The Byzantines asked for help from the Magyars to help defeat the Bulgars, Then in retaliation the Bulgars asked the Kipchaks for help to attack the Magyars, Then later the Magyars formed an alliance with the Kipchaks against the Byzantines, Then during the Mongol invasion the Magyars gave refuge to the Cumans and even allied themselves against the Mongols, but then the Cumans raided the settlements in retaliation for the people attacking them out of fear. Then later when the Hungarians fought against the Turks, but after occupation later on the Hungarians joined the Turks to fight against the Austrians.

The Hungarian language is the most important source for reconstructing the West Old Turkic language spoken west of the Ural in the 5th-12th centuries. The study by Arpad Berta and Andras Rona-Tas deals with the etymology of about 500 Hungarian words which are or may be of Old Turkic, in some cases of Middle Turkic origin. The Hungarian-Turkic contacts began in the 5th century and lasted a long period. The earliest loanwords were copied from a Western Old Turkic idiom; the latest loanwords were borrowed from the language of the Cumans who settled down in Hungary in the first half of 13th century. The authors excluded the Ottoman words from the corpus. In all cases the authors give the etymology of the Turkic word, the reconstructed copied form, the form as adapted by the Hungarian language and the history of the word. The detailed introduction focuses on the former research, the historical setting and the technical framework. In the concluding chapters the authors reconstruct the Ancient Hungarian language at the time of the Turkic-Hungarian contacts and outline the structure of the West Old Turkic language. A bibliography and several indices help the reader to use the book. West Old Turkic: Turkic Loanwords in Hungarian, László Károly András Róna-Tas, Árpád Berta, László Károly

There is a lot of stuff missing, sure. But there are enough sources to reconstruct their history in general, their culture, lifestyle and especially politics.

Most of it are in Persian and Chinese sources, who were fighting them to the teeth. Their only friends were Sogdians, who were ironically also Iranic, but genocided by Mongols and Chinese alike for collaborating with (China)/softening(Mongols) Turks. And no way your arch enemies (Persia, China) will tell your stories.

[@KhansDen]

The Greaco-Turkic alliance which culminated in a victory against the Sassanids in 627-629, after which the Byzantine and Göktürk emperors even partied at a feast, comes to mind regarding having "friends" - and no, the Turks did not make that one up, it were Armenian witnesses who wrote that down. But the Turks did write their own history in the Orkhon Inscriptions, which seemingly no one has ever heard of judging by these comments. If one does not attempt to read the Göktürks' own written sources, how can they even claim to understand Göktürk history, @@brainblox5629?

@@Karabulut96 Please tell me, where did you even get the idea that im not turkic in the first place? I'm part Crimean Tatar and Hungarian, so by your definiton im half Turkic because I'm also half Romanian (my fathers half Romanian half Hungarian and my mother is half Tatar half Romanian). If you look at videos comparing the hungarian and the Turkish language, they are nothing alike, except some of the vocabulary but loan words and influence exist. Grammatical structure is more important than vocabulary. For example, Turkish has 6 cases while Estonian has 14, Finnish has 15 and Hungarian has 18. I would say that 18 is closer to 14 and 15 than 6. Also credible sources like Britannica state that hungarian is Finno-Ugric/Uralic. I'm aware the Hungarians shared history with the Turks but the language is not Turkic. When people use that term they usually mean the language family. Also, why do you turanist guys never claim that Finland and Estonia are Turkic countries but Hungary is considered one?

Two things to note on an amazing video: first, linguistic mutual intelligibility among Turkic groups is super-high compared to other primary language families. Within subfamilies, one can easily understand others, but even across subfamilies you can get there with only a little practice. Chuvash excluded; it's... out there. Second, Turkic/Mongolic relations go way, way deeper than what you mentioned. The Altaic theory has mostly been discredited, but all the same, the language families have remarkable similarities borne of millennia of contact, shared heritage, shared culture and political alliance.

[@seannolan9857]

Mostly because they've branched out relatively recently compared to Indo-Europeans and especially Afro-Asiatics. Most Turkic languages would be mutually intelligable less than 2000 years ago.

[@ArdaSReal]

Yep i mean look at indo european, can a german understand an indian? But with Turks, there is so much similarities often it is hard to even seperate the languages and in many places we didnt used to, only after Soviets etc these seperations were made

[@KingKalas]

The Altaic Theory was redefined in 2021 by Dr. Martine Robbeets from the Max Planck Institute in Germany. The real ancestral homeland of Turkic people seems to be close to lake Baikal, sandwiched between Pyongyang and Beijing, where the Jomon people of Japan also originated from. As someone who speaks Turkic, Korean and Japanese I can say that there definitely is a connection, even though they must have seperated much earlier than Indo-European languages for example. The new term for the language family is transeurasian languages. Japanese and Korean split quite early from "Altaic", which was a sub-branch and later split to Proto-Tungusic, Proto-Mongolic and Proto-Turkic languages. Another important comparison is the religion. Korean Muism, Turko-Mongol-Tungusic Tengrism and Japanese Shinto all have their roots in North-East Asian Shamanism/ Animism. Here is a short part from the paper: "The origin and early dispersal of speakers of Transeurasian languages-that is, Japanese, Korean, Tungusic, Mongolic and Turkic-is among the most disputed issues of Eurasian population history1,2,3. A key problem is the relationship between linguistic dispersals, agricultural expansions and population movements4,5. Here we address this question by ‘triangulating’ genetics, archaeology and linguistics in a unified perspective. We report wide-ranging datasets from these disciplines, including a comprehensive Transeurasian agropastoral and basic vocabulary; an archaeological database of 255 Neolithic-Bronze Age sites from Northeast Asia; and a collection of ancient genomes from Korea, the Ryukyu islands and early cereal farmers in Japan, complementing previously published genomes from East Asia. Challenging the traditional ‘pastoralist hypothesis’6,7,8, we show that the common ancestry and primary dispersals of Transeurasian languages can be traced back to the first farmers moving across Northeast Asia from the Early Neolithic onwards, but that this shared heritage has been masked by extensive cultural interaction since the Bronze Age. As well as marking considerable progress in the three individual disciplines, by combining their converging evidence we show that the early spread of Transeurasian speakers was driven by agriculture." The grammer is nearly the same between these languages and many old words are similar. Hence, the language family split first into two groups: Japano-Korean and Altaic, and later into these 5 language groups. Just as an example: After learning one of these languages, learning the rest was easy, even though it seems like the Turkic languages are grammativally more "evolved". One reason might have been the close contact and interaction with Indo-European and Semitic languages(Indo-Aryan Hindi and Farsi, Slavic Russian, Caucasian Armenian and Greek, Semitic Arabic). If we now also consider the fact that a big part of Turkic people became Chinese during the Tang dynasty, including the annexation of Turkic, Mongol and Tungusic lands, which was also a reason for the big westwards migration, there is a high probability of relation between these people.

My country Iran is only comparable with Russia in terms of having the most diverse groups of Turks. We have Azerbaijanis (with all different tribes like Afshar Baharlu Karapapak...), Qashqays, Khalajs, Turkmens, Kazakhs, Khorasanis, and some more. Not even Turkey is close enough. This is a linguistical and cultural heritage and wealth. Unfortunately, due to a lack of education and protection, some of the isolated and less populated ones are in danger of extinction. For example, Khalaj (which as mentioned in the video is a totally independent sub-branch of Turkic languages) and Khorasani are endangered languages right now. Even the bigger ones are slowly being assimilated and creolized; the Qashqai people's language for example is heavily mixed with Persian now. I hope that someday these languages be taught in schools and even made co-official in their respective regions alongside the national official Persian language in order to be protected and used more. Otherwise, in the near future, there won't be much of this cultural heritage remaining. I know some far-right people in Iran would love to see this, but their ignorance is not important.

"Persian Turk" doesn't mean that those dynasties were mixed ethnic Persian and ethnic Turk dynasties (there was generally no mixed heritage or only some but from non-Persian groups, such as Kurds, Georgians, Mongols, etc.). "Persian Turk" simply means "Iranian Turk", as "Persia" was the European name of Iran for centuries. So the dynasties were still Turkic, but they also considered Iran as a land that belonged to them (and not to Ottomans, for example), and gradually they became attached to it as their "motherland" and embraced an identity that was both "Irani" (Iranian) and "Torki" (Turkic).

The Hungarian language is the most important source for reconstructing the West Old Turkic language spoken west of the Ural in the 5th-12th centuries. The study by Arpad Berta and Andras Rona-Tas deals with the etymology of about 500 Hungarian words which are or may be of Old Turkic, in some cases of Middle Turkic origin. The Hungarian-Turkic contacts began in the 5th century and lasted a long period. The earliest loanwords were copied from a Western Old Turkic idiom; the latest loanwords were borrowed from the language of the Cumans who settled down in Hungary in the first half of 13th century. The authors excluded the Ottoman words from the corpus. In all cases the authors give the etymology of the Turkic word, the reconstructed copied form, the form as adapted by the Hungarian language and the history of the word. The detailed introduction focuses on the former research, the historical setting and the technical framework. In the concluding chapters the authors reconstruct the Ancient Hungarian language at the time of the Turkic-Hungarian contacts and outline the structure of the West Old Turkic language. A bibliography and several indices help the reader to use the book. West Old Turkic: Turkic Loanwords in Hungarian, László Károly András Róna-Tas, Árpád Berta, László Károly

[@uzaydaisemekisteyenadam4543]

The diversity of phenotypes among Turks can be attributed to their historical nomadic lifestyle. Turks are a widely dispersed population, spanning from Europe to Asia. Consequently, it's not possible to make definitive generalizations about the Turkish phenotype. We are talking about a population that has been on the move for 3000 years. In other words, being Turkish does not necessitate having epicanthic folds (slanted eyes). For example, the Oghuz Turks may have fewer individuals with slanted eyes, while the Kipchaks might have individuals with fair hair and colored eyes. As I mentioned, Turks are a nomadic people, and therefore, the widespread belief that "Turks are Mongolian and have slanted eyes" is grossly inaccurate

[@harouttorkomian5897]

Not really. One of the major physical features are the eyes. Like the video mentioned, you can have every other physical feature due to mixing, but the main shared physical feature are the eyes. I don't get why there's a systematic and coordinated effort on behalf of turkey and others in trying to deny where they come from. I have my own opinion on that, but im curious as to why you have your specific opinion when clearly it goes against the obvious truth.

[@uzaydaisemekisteyenadam4543]

@@harouttorkomian5897 Slanted eyes are not a dominant genetic trait. It can get lost easily. I'm not making this up. A result you can easily find anywhere.What exactly are you trying to say? I say that Turks are a nation mixed with other peoples because they are nomads. Half Balkan, half Turkish, half Greek, half Turkish. A person can look extremely European but still have Turkish genes because, as I said, slanted eyes are not a dominant genetic trait. What exactly is it that you can't accept about this?

[@naruto1999sakura]

​@@harouttorkomian5897I think most people from the anatolian country named Turkey can't accept the obvious truth that most of them have no relation to the real Turks that once invaded the region, most people from Turkey look nothing like turks exactly because they have little to none steppe nomad DNA, and are instead just Anatolians that got invaded and they got taught a turkic language.

[@subutaykhan9387]

​@@harouttorkomian5897anatolia is melting pot. Turks took anatolia from the romans. Which most of the empire were greek. And during that time those greeks were greekified anatolians. Like hittites, luwians, trojans, Phyrigians, lydians etc. Greeks first appeared in morea. After Alexander's conquest of anatolia those Ancient Civilizations disappeared and became greek . After Turkic conquest of anatolia became Turkish. Italian Merchants called anatolia Turcia after the battle of manzikert. So nobody has pure blood in anatolia and this makes us more valuable. We carry the bloods of Ancient world. And the Turkic blood makes the cherry on top. Personally i am from black sea region and my ancestors founded the first beylik in that region. My fenotipe is central asian like. But i am sure i carry other genes than Turkic blood and i am happy about it. I am happy because i carry the blood of those people of Ancient world. My Turkic part survived the the harshest conditions, they were the greatest warrior nation of human history and my anatolian part made a great Civilization. It is exceptional to have such a mixture.

At 7:44, Razia Sultana (r. 1236-40), one of the few Muslim women in pre-modern times to rule in her own name, is referenced. If you would like to watch a Hindi / Urdu biopic about her, I recommend "Razia Sultan" from 1983 starring Hema Malini. It's a sad but incredibly fascinating story.

Wow very interesting. Something new for me. Good work mate. God bless you

[@editeda]

Very interesting. I dont Often see content about this region, so This was very educational

[@serdarvarol7424]

It is very good that a non-Turkic person has such accurate information about Turks. I congratulate you for this. However, I would like to correct some misinformation and some common misconceptions for those who are interested. 1. The Turkic Khaganate is not the first Turkic state. The Turk Khaganate is the first state bearing the name Turk. In other words, Turks do not consist of the name Turk. For example, the name Kyrgyz is older than the name Turk in historical sources. That is, in ancient times, the name Turk was not the name of all the Turks of today. Turk was the name of a group among today's Turks. Now it is the name of all of us. The Turkic Khaganate is the state to which we owe this. Before the Turkic Khaganate, the Huns and before that the Sakas (Scythians) were Turkic states established in the same geography. So who is a Turk and who is not. How are we going to determine this? There is a very simple and precise way to determine this. Every community whose numbers are "Bir, İki, Üç, Dört..." are Turks. If not, they are not Turks. It is as certain as that. Those whose numbers are "Bir, İki, Üç, Dört..." have a common history and common roots in the past. 2. Oguz Kagan is not the founder of Oguz Yabgu state. It is also claimed that Oghuz Khan was the Hun emperor Mete Khan. However, this is also false. Oghuz Khan is a mythological figure. The story of Oghuz Khan is completely mythological. He is probably a personality from thousands of years ago. The name Oghuz Khan is connected with the name "Öküz". It is connected with the river Ceyhun in Turkmenistan, whose ancient Greek name is "Oxus". 3. Where is the historical Turkic geography? There are various claims about this. But both language, written documents, archaeological and genetic evidence point to a geography. Put Kazakhstan in the center. Expand it in all directions. This is the geography that created the Turks. The world calls it Central Asia today. But the real name of this place is Turkistan. In the oral history of the Iranians, in their oldest works (Avesta, Sherefnameh), the name of this place is Turan. 4. The centers of the Huns and the Turkic Khaganate are in Mongolia. However, Mongolia is not actually where the Turks originated. Turks went to this region during the Iron Age and controlled it. The Turks used to live on the north, west and south sides of the Altai mountains. The Altai mountains and the accompanying Sayan mountains are the border separating the Turks from the Mongols. 5. Although Turks and Mongols have had a very close relationship since the Hun period, Mongolian is not the closest language to Turkic. Among the languages living today, the closest language to Turkic is Hungarian, which is a Ugorian language (Hantis, Mansis, Hungarians). Among the languages that do not exist today, Sumerian is the closest. Sumerian is a Turkic language. Sumerians are a Turkic people. The claim of the Altaic language family is false. Altaic languages have no unity of origin. Turkic and Mongolian-Tungus are not languages separated from one language. They are languages that converged later. In other words, they are not Altaic languages, but an independent family of Turkic languages. 6. If we go to the historical roots of today's Turks geographically, there are actually 3 regions or groups. a. Western Turks : Western Turks have been completely assimilated in Eastern Europe, with the exception of the Chuvash (True Bulgarians). The Chuvash dialect is the most distant from other Turkic dialects. In the oldest period they lived south of the Ural Mountains, in the Kazakh-Caspian north. The closest Turkic dialect to Sumerian is the Chuvash dialect. b. Southern Turks : They are Oghuz. They lived in the south of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan region. c. Eastern Turks : All the rest of the Turks are eastern Turks. Uighurs, Cumans, Kipchaks, Kyrgyz, Sakhas, Bashkirs, Karachay-Balkans, Khakass, Tuvas, Shors, Dolgans....... The Altai Mountains are the eastern border. In other words, let's imagine a triangle to understand Turkism in the Neolithic period. The north-west corner of this triangle, the Idyll River basin, is the area where Western Turkicity was formed, the north-east corner, the Yenisei River basin, is the area where Eastern Turkicity was formed, and the southern corner, the Ceyhun River basin, is the area where Southern Turkicity was formed. You may ask if East Turkistan or Yakutia is not included in the Turkic geography. Uighurs and Sakhas are Altaic Turks. 7. How the first Turkism was formed. If you wonder about that. It is like this. Modern man came out of Africa to Eurasia about 70.000 years ago. First they came to the Middle East. From the Middle East they spread across Eurasia. Some of them spread to Europe through the straits of Turkey (I2 y-DNA Aryans) Some of them spread to Anatolia (G, North-West and South Caucasian peoples) Some of them spread to Anatolia, south of the Caucasus, the Middle East, northern Iran (J, Samyans, North-East Caucasian peoples) Some of them spread to the Indian subcontinent (H, Dravids) Some of them spread to south-east Asia through India and then northwards to China. (O, Chinese and other south-east Asians) Some spread east of Lake Baikal (C2, Mongols and Tungus) Some spread from Tibet to Japan. (D, Japanese, Koreans, Tibetans) Some spread through India and south-east Asia to Australia (M and S, Australia, Guinea Indians) Our ancestors (most likely R1b, more narrowly R1, even more narrowly R) followed a path similar to that of the ancestors of the Ural peoples (N) and Native Americans (Q). Especially with the Native Americans, both the migration path and the timelines are the same. They came from the Middle East to Iran. In Iran, they left one of their siblings (R2 and Q2) behind. From Iran they did not go towards India, but came to Siberia via Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. (Around 25,000 B.C.) Turks settled in Southern Siberia. Uralic peoples and Native Americans settled north of the Turks. The first Turkic was formed in Southern Siberia with a probability of 90% and in the basin of Seyhun and Ceyhun rivers with a probability of 10%. 8. Genetic data today show which Turkic peoples are related to which ancient cultures. For example, the Sakhas and the Dolgans (N y-DNA) seem to be related to the Kitoi, Isakovo cultures west of Lake Baikal. The Oghuz (J y-DNA) with the Anav culture in Turkmenistan. Kyrgyz, Karachay-Balkars, Bashkirs (R1a-Z93 y-DNA) with the Andronovo culture. Nogais (R1b-Z1203 y-DNA) with Afanesyevo culture. Chuvash and assimilated proto-bulgars probably with Yamnaya culture. Hazaras (R1b-M478) with Botay culture...... I apologize in advance to my Turkic brothers and sisters whose names I cannot mention. I do not discriminate, everyone is in my heart. We are just a very big family. It takes too long to write everyone. Greetings from Turkey to all my Turk compatriots and all Turk friends around the world.
