Aydyn speaking Tuvan | Siberian language | WIKITONGUES

Aydyn Oorzhak speaking Tuvan, a Siberian language with Turkic roots from the Tuva Republic in Russia.

This video was recorded by Sildis Oorzhak in Mongolia. Tuva, Tuvin, Tyvan, or sometimes Tuvinian, is primarily spoken in the Tuva Republic. Its several dialects include Central Tuvin, Northeastern Tuvin (Todzhin), Southeastern Tuvin, Tuba-Kizhi, and Western Tuvin. The Tuvan people have been nomadic cattle-herders for thousands of years and have developed rich musical and religious traditions. Today they maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle. Due to a history of rule by the Chinese, Russian, and Mongolian empires and extensive borrowing, there is substantial lexical overlap between Tuva and the languages of Mongolian, Tibetan, and Russian. History and geography have also resulted in many Tuva speakers being bilingual in Mongolian and Russian near the border. Although at one time there was an independent Tuvan's People's Republic, the nation of the Tuvan people currently exists under the sovereignty of the Russian Reservation, but the Tuvans maintain strong local ties to their language and culture, and the will for separatism persists. The Tuvan communities of China live primarily in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region and are included there as Mongolian nationals.

Tuva is spoken by around 280,000 people internationally. Tuva is a Northern Turkic language.

How beautiful! Sounds like she’s reciting poetry

[thiccaf]

I'm tuvan, and I can tell that she is an ethnic tuvan from Mongolia, she have heavy mongolian accent, that's why it sounds like more mongolian.

[shelookstome]

Ahhh the trills! 😍 What a beautiful Turkic language. It sounds like Kazakh and Mongolian had a baby haha. I love what she's wearing too, a stunning outfit to match the language 😊

[Moshbearpig]

She is Tsengel-Tuvan from Bayan Olgii in western Mongolia! That's why her accent is distinctly Mongolian, because she is multi-lingual!

[anawkwardsweetpotato]

It was so peaceful to listen to her speak. What a beautiful language!

[sagex]

If you want to experience more Tuvan culture, I recommend the Tuvan folk band Huun-huur tur. They're amazing.

[ayselm]

As an Azerbaijani turk I understand only a few words, but it's so beautiful ❤️

Hello from Turkey to brother and sisters.

[gogeyeryuzune]

I am Turkish and in this video, I picked up a few Turkic words and common suffixes (plural form "ler- lar"), the equivalent of the word "of" (nın, nin, nun, nün), the Equivalent of the English word "at" (de-da) present in all Turkic languages along with the suffixes that denotes personal pronouns in verb conjugations. The endings of her words which are suffixes in Turkic languages sound very familiar.

Ata, Ana, Jurt-Yurt, Uyku, Erten (Ertesi), Gün-Kün, Jürek-Yürek, Ulu, Dağ, Kişi, Dil, Ben, Yaşımda, Gök, Ağzı are some of the Turkic words I recognized. Her name "Aydyn" also means enlightened in Turkish.

My list on some Turkic languages from most intelligible to least intelligible is as below:

1- Azerbaijan Turkish
2- Gagauz Turkish
3- Crimean Turkish
4- Turkmen
5- Uzbek
6- Karachay - Kumyk - Nogay
7- Uyghur
8- Kazakh - Kyrgyz
9- Bashkir - Kazan Tatar
10 - Altai
11- Hakas
12- Tuva
13- Sakha
14- Chuvash :) (Pronunciation sounds quite different)

Her voice is soothing and calm! As an aspiring game, web, and full-stack developer who dreams of being a multilingual person that wants to save the world’s endangered languages, I want to create a translator with over 300 languages.

Beautiful language! Love Turkic languages. Really like languages like Yakut (Sakha) and Kazakh as well, generally like the sound of the languages in this language family.

[ChiyokoMcNair]

I’ve never heard anything quite like this before. It’s delightful. It strikes me as a language exceptionally replete with vibration and intonations.

[tuvatuva]

Yengelerim ablalarım diye başlıyor tuvayım deyip yüreğimin kızıl ateşinde. Tuva dilimiz unutulmuyor.
Kız diline ve ülkesine methiyeler düzüyor.

[janetgayda]

sounds like my language! Love from Yakutia ❤ ❤

[johnhelms]

What a lovely young woman! She has a beautiful voice, and she makes the Tuvan language sound almost magical!

[Snestorm]

Turkish speaker here: I can pick out the grammatical sentence structure and some grammatical structures fairly easy (like the -m at the end of some words which is the possesive suffix for "my"), also a few words here and there. So if I didn't know anything about this language, I would still be able to tell that it's a Turkic language but other than that, it's quiet incomprehensible to me. Plus, her name Aydyn (Aydın) is a fairly common name in Turkey as well, there is even a Turkish city called Aydın, which is so nice to see that across such a vast geography and thousands of years after seperating, we still have shared personal names!

[auroralightday]

Before she mentioned it; I thought the languages reminded me so much of strings being plucked on a harp. I loving this so much!

[Soldatus_Crafts]

She’s very beautiful though. Her voice, her face, her eyes, her hair

[ShepStevVidEOs]

This has to be one of the most beautiful languages I've ever heard.
