I'm Turkish and he not only screwed up with his prononciation, many of the facts he states is factually wrong. Uygurs never used Aramic, they use Arabic alphate but write in Turkish. Also, Subutay, Ogeday etc have easy explanation with their names. Ay means moon in Turkish. The author totally disregards TurcoMongol culture and have orientalist colonialist view of history. Thank God in Turkey, we learn true history. It's time for nations of Central Asia to do the same.

My father was from Kalmykia. He spoke both Mongolian and Kalmyk. He wouldn't let his children learn the language. He wanted us to be American. I regret to this day that I never learned how to speak my father's native tongue. He knew quite a few languages as he was born in 1931 during all the turmoil his family was marched around a lot. He spoke polish, Russian, German English and some that I've forgotten.

I am a native Chinese speaker. When we were learning about both ancient and middle poetry and writings, we often met the literature of the northern horde. Whenever it mentioned the word "emperour", it would always be written in "可汗", which is pronounced as Kè Khán. I found this is very similar to the xaxan you mentioned in this video. Because in the literature, they spelled the word "emperour" with two syllables, and so do "the middle Mongolian" in the video. Perhaps there was actually a transition period of the language when consonant omission started to taking place.

則鳴黃 as Turkish we say “Cengiz Han” and we call the Superior Emperors of small Central Asian Nomadic Leaders of tribes in “Kağan” (Kagan) ğ is soft g from the throat. We still use the name Cengiz Han. (In fact I have a friend named that way). I also have many friends named Kaan, and Kağan as well. So it most likely sounded that way, the way you say it is how it mostly goes for us right now! And the sounds you mention such as ıı (I from the throat) are really familiar to us and I have a hard time explaining it to my western friends. Awesome!

Naimans, kereits, merkits and Khan's tribe itself, the great Tore dynasty. Before 20th century, only Tore descendants could rule the steppes. Also, old kazakh law has had exceptional treatment for them. For instance, if average nomad would get hanged on for horse stealing or murder, these guys were just fined for few thousand sheeps and easily getaway from hard punishment.

As a native Mongolian speaker, I’ve been wondering this question all my life. Ever since I was a little kid, I would fantasise going back to the 12th century with a time machine and hanging out with my ancestors including Chingis Khaan (which btw you pronounced really well). And when we read the script, the Хаан becomes Хаган which we pronounce as hagan and I never heard of the Kahan variation which is interesting. Anyways, cool video as always :)

This is an excellent video regarding the Mongolian language and its evolution. The writing (calligraphy) can be beautiful. Having learned some very basic Mongolian script some years ago, I can recommend using a wedged felt tip calligraphy pen when writing in Mongolian. It adds a beauty to the script. There is also a painting style used in Mongolian, as well as other regional languages, called leather brush, where a plurality of colors are placed on various portions of the (wedge-like) leather brush tip to yield a beautiful rainbow-like effect, depending upon the colors applied. [This is why I recommended the wedge felt tip pen; it is somewhat like the effect of the leather brush, but with only one color.] The evolution of spoken Mongolian is an amazing and interesting story. The Manchu language, used throughout the Ching Dynasty, is related to Mongolian, and the writing style is quite similar.

Mori mari - horses and morses We also use that thing in Azerbaijani and Turkish too. I wonder if Japanese and Korean have it Edit: I think most people here have the wrong idea when I said duplication. I meant what some people already said. In Azerbaijani and Turkish, we use Horses and morses to mean "Horses and stuff like that", and not to say "A lot of Horses"

As far as I'm aware Japanese don't use echo words, but they do use other reduplications such as 時々 (toki doki) meaning "occasionally" (where 時 means "time"), and mimetic words (such as onomatopoeic words). I don't know about Korean

I'm not sure if you're aware, but they're used in English too. I'm not even a native speaker so I'm not really sure how to describe it, but Americans tend to repeat a noun with a prepended "shm" to express dismissal of some topic. It would be "Horses shmorses" in this case. I'm not sure of the origin, it sounds like it might be quite recent/stemming from popular literature.

From what I've studied in Korean, there definitely is reduplication (as in Japanese)--although I'm not certain it comes with the same horses and more-ses meaning to it. Again, like Japanese, I've mostly seen it in ideophones (의태어, ŭit'aeŏ) not unlike English 'vroom-vroom'. In Korean, this would be like 훌쩍훌쩍 = hultchŏk'ultchŏk, sniffling while semi-crying. You also see it in some cutesy ways like 멍멍이 (mŏngmŏngi, puppy dog) where 멍 (mŏng) is the sound of a dog barking, plus what might be seen as a diminuitive nominalizer (aka "fluffy widdle bark-bark"). I'm not a native speaker, though, so I could be wrong. I'd gladly defer to someone who knows more! Edit: also forgot to mention the word for horse in Korean is 말 (mal). Definitely not a coincidence~

Ancient Chinese name for Khan since Xiongnu times (before Christ) has always been 可汗 (kehan) until Ming Dynasty, when 可汗 was shortened to 汗 (han). The Qing emperors were also refered to as 汗. Now I am pretty sure that the change in Chinese translation of the word is basically a reflection of the transition of Kaxan to Khan/Xaan.

In fact, it is by far the most connected country. The inner mongolians while they keep their old script are more or less under chinese cultural influence, while buryad-mongolians and kalmyk-mongols are russophied but some of them still know their language. Mongols living in Mongolia never had too face cultural domination from other people, except in Manchu period. But the manchus were very much nomadic people like mongols than han-chinese, so the culture exchange did not end up making us chinese, we just had to take some leaves from the fellow nomads. As a result we have decent amount of shamanism (tengrism), buddism, atheism as religions go. And culturally we are descendants of hunnu, great mongols with all the different tribe cultures, manchu and some european culture (thanks to russians).

I wish I could listen how you are pronouncing "qa". It might be in your accent. In latin tongue "q" sounds as "k". If it is not your another mongolian accent, then reading "ha/kha" as "qa" changes the word you know. Again, even in the old mongolian script still says it is "hagan", because the letter sounds like "h/kh", in cyrillic it is "х". In modern mongolian it is khaan/haan, never says khagan

One thing that I find interesting: Mongolian was in very close contact with various Turkic languages in Central Asia (and later, in Anatolia), and as you yourself mention, there were many Turkic loans in Mongolian (and vice versa). Many of the sound changes that you describe here, like the loss of the x sound in the middle of words, also occurred in most Turkic dialects (like in Anatolian Turkish). The nasal n sound was also eventually lost (again, in Anatolian Turkish, except in a few regional dialects). I wonder if this is because certain sounds are just more prone to evolving into different sounds, or if we can speak of the co-evolution of the two languages (although in the case of the nasal n, the change happened after the Mongols had left Anatolia). Finally, I can note that it is likely that both Genghis Khan's birth name (Temüjin) and his title (Genghis) are also Turkic loans. The former is related to timur-temür-demir, meaning iron, and the latter may be related to deniz-dengiz (with a nasal n) meaning sea, and by extension, infinite space, the universe etc. This is also the origin of the name of Attila's son, Dengizich.

​@Hernando Malinche I wasn't trying to imply that Mongolian and Turkic languages are related. They are indeed separate families, simply with a great deal of borrowing between each other. The same can be said, although to a lesser degree, for Turkish and Hungarian, which were thought to be related by some linguists for a long time; the similarities between the two (not including the words borrowed during the later Ottoman occupation of Hungary) are due to the fact that Turkic and Magyar tribes cohabitated the Ukrainian steppe before the Magyars eventually settled in the Hungarian basin. The word 'Hungary' itself comes from the Turkic on-ogur (ten tribes). By the way, the words for iron, sea, and lion which you mention (and which they would have encountered - iron obviously, there are inland seas and large lakes in Central Asia, and they would have seen representations of lions in China) are borrowings from Turkic into Mongolian, but there are also more 'natural' words including words for family members that have been borrowed between the two. The word for 'older brother' (ağa, later ağabey, in Turkish; aqa in Mongolian) and 'sister/older sister' (bacı in Turkish, baca in Mongolian) are two example. When trying to determine whether two languages are related I think it is a bad idea to look at how 'basic' the words they share are. The (common) Turkish word for fire is from Persian and the Persian word for (once again) older brother is from Turkish; nobody even debates whether they are related.

As examples of Mongolian words borrowed into Turkic/Turkish we can also give: yasa/yasak (law/forbidden), cebe (armour), kurulta/kurultay (council, diet), karakol (outpost, later police station), ödül/öndül (reward). There is also the curious case of Turkic words that were borrowed into Mongolian in Central Asia, then fell out of use or became rare in Turkic, and were borrowed back in Mongolized form or modified when the Mongols invaded Anatolia in the 13th century. Examples are ulus (nation; orig. from Turkic ülüş), ülke (country, from the same root), belge (document; orig. belgü), töre (law/tribal law, from törü. This word is related to the endonym Turk/Türk, indicating that the Turks initially probably viewed themselves as a confederation of tribes sharing the same laws).

1. For the love of God, make more videos. You're awesome! I have always longed to find a language-nerd like me, only you're way more knowledgeable and I enjoy learning from you. 2. I strongly believe that the absence of F has similarity to the same thing in Japanese. It's basically considering F and H as "sounds of air" which makes them the same letter. Their L also might have an echo in Japanese. Lately I was thinking that a standard Turkish L can be hard and soft like G and K, only in Arabic script the G and K have varieties while L is just L, but the conflict appears when they write an Arabic word with a hard vowel after L, and that's when they put a sign (which is not on my keyboard). Maybe this echoes something about their L also. 3. I also know that the pronunciation Q (like Arabic hard Q) existed and still exists in middle Asia. I think Kakhan was Qakhan, and also the Kh in the middle can give a soft G (which explains why it is dropped in modern Mongolian). This can be seen in words like Khaqan / Qa'an / Gha'an / Kaan... etc in Persian and Turkish. Also the flip between Kh (X) and Q is common. The Kyrgyz for example are basically Qirgiz with hard I's, but then in an old Ottoman document I saw it as Khirkhiz. This reflects a lot of switching between voiced and unvoiced letters in Turkic languages (and also funnily in Russian), and not only at the end of words but also at the beginning, like Kurush (Gurush) and Dolma (Tolma) and Gelmek (Kelmek)... etc. Also I think with some imagination we can imagine that old Japanese might have had K and Ky (hard and soft) but I was never sure of that guess.

Interesting and curious. As a native Urdu speaker, also speaking Farsi, Arabic and some Turkish, I see possible other links. 1) Modern vs old Mongolian seem to have gone through a similar process in Turkish. Turkish written in Latin alphabet (since 1920s I guess) uses modern pronunciation but written in modified Arabic alphabet, it still retained the--- not authentic but older pronunciation at least from about 13-1400 years ago. Similarly other Turkic languages, when written until early 20th century in Arabic script did not differ substantially from Ottoman Turkish (in writing), though substantially in pronunciation (ignoring grammatical variations); also the Arabic script did not account for vowel harmony. 2) Links to how Mongolian might have been pronounced at the time of Chegiz Khan might be found in Chinese, but also very much in the Turkic and Persian languages, and others influenced by them (e.g. Urdu, Pashto, etc.). What is especially interesting is how, even in the earliest histories, the distinction between modern Mongolian Khan and Khaan is written, in Arabic script as خان and خاقان (Khaan and Khaqaan where kh is a sound that doesn't exist in English but is said to resemble the ch sound in some European languages, and in the Scottish loch and q is a k pronounced from deep inside the throat; in modern Turkish guttural sounds like kh, gh and often q are softened to h or omitted; q is retained but no distinction remains between q and k). Interestingly, in all instances, including "firmans" (decrees) issued by the great Khan and his Islamised descendents who used Persian as a court language, Khaqan as a title is seldom affixed to a name. More often it'd appear as Chengiz Khan, the Khaqan of the land and sea and.... etc. Ottoman and Moghul kings continued this tradition, e.g. Suleiman Khan, the Khaqan of Rome and Arabia, Sultan of Land and Sea, etc. etc. 3) Colonial rewriting and (successful) interference in histories has made these attempts at finding true pronunciations harder. E.g. in official Pakistani and Indian histories, the Moghuls are never called Turks (as they variously called themselves) nor told the word Moghul is derived from Mongol (through their maternal ancestry). Similarly our language, Urdu is erroneously written, talked about, believed, and even castigated (by its native speakers) as the language of armies/ mercenaries (considering one of the meanings of Urdu which is cognate with English horde) but never solving the disconnect between pre-colonial and later usage of the word within the language itself. The court dialect of the language, which initially went by many names, among them Hindustani and Rekhta (meaning that which is being poured, probably describing its fluid nature during the formative phase) and indeed also Urdu was formalised in early 1800s, it was named Zabaan-e Urdu-e Mualla: Language of the Exalted Urdu causing and stupid and perhaps purposefully confusing debate ever since as to why an urdu--either language or army should be exalted. Indeed the same debaters educated in modern schools quickly forgot why the old poets spoke of being granted an audience at the exalted throne as going to the Urdu-e Mualla or the fact that in modern Mongolian and Chaghatai branch of Turkish language, Urdu means both the throne and the household military units attached to protect the emperor's person. This was indeed done with the purpose of alienating British India from increasingly Russian influenced Central Asia, but it's amazing how successfully the were able to disassociate a people from their history within a generation (and indeed a language by declaring it as pidgin dialect of ruffians and mercenaries, ignoring the fact that Urdu has a history so similar to English that even dates variously fall within about half century of each other with a few exceptions).
