Lauren Reacts! *So much I didn't know!* Turkic peoples/countries EXPLAINED!-Geography Now 

the krymchak and karaims probably descended from khazar turks. they were kipchak and converted judaism. (dont know how)

8:22 the empty spots on the maps are mostly gigantic mountains or deserts. it's not like any other people living there (mostly)

If you want to learn more, look at both western and eastern sources. Westerners and Easterners say very different things about Turks.

we pronouce 'g' but 'ğ'(which is called soft g in our language) is completly silent and you can also use it as a subsitute for k for example 'sigara boreği' 'böreği' is actually 'börek' (sorry for not using punctuations but i don't normally use them in my own language too and for those who didn't understand what language i speak it's turkish turkey or türkiye turkish)

i am so turkic, i got a hard on watching this. hope you don't mind (joking, i've lost all hope)

Lauren, you said you wished there was a way to preserve languages other than language apps. There is a band called Otyken that started writing and recorded music to do just that. Based on what I saw in this video they are either Siberian or Northern Siberian Turks that speak a language that will likely die out in the next 50 years or so. They still live primarily by hunting, fishing, and gathering. Their primary source of money has been from harvesting honey from wild bees. That may be different now that they are becoming somewhat popular for their music. It was actually one of their customers that fell in love with their culture and married one of the women who prompted them to start recording music. To get you started I'd suggest 3 songs 1) Altay (this is a collaboration with Ummet Ozcan a Turk from Greece) 2) Storm 3) Belief Reading their Wikipedia page will help have a better appreciation for the group before listening to their music.

I would say the color on the statue is real gold😊

Duo Lingo? It makes learning Finnish to feel like learning to drive again🤡 I've been visiting Turkey Marmaris "Tourist trap" - untill you make friends and look behind veil.
