Hello, as a Turk of Turkey, I can understand many of the words you speak. However, I understand the Tatar words more clearly. It was nice to see you again. From here, I send my greetings to all Tatar and Yakut peoples.

My mom was Tatar and my dad was Yakut. I imagine they had fun comparing the languages like you did. :-) My Tatar better than Yakut but I speak English and Russian best. Thank you for the video!

As an Azerbaijani, Tatar seemed more close to our dialect almost the same structure, but have lots of common words with Yakutsk as well.Greetings to the whole Turkic world :)🇦🇿

Being a grandson of a Crimean Tatar family, borned and lived in Ankara till 2017, I was delighted to hear you both. How good to see and hear the commonalities between our languages. Thank you ladies. Good job. Keep it running...

I'm Hungarian, it's interesting how the yak resembles Hungarian. The many ö, ü, sounds like. The Hungarian language belongs to the Uralic languages, also to the Ugric branch. Our closest relatives live in Siberia, the Khanty and Manys. We took many Turkish words during our long wanderings. In the video, the word yellow yakut is strikingly similar to Hungarian - sárga- ayakh--- ajak The beard, - szakáll - the jackal, -sakál - the apple, -alma - just to name a few of our words of Turkish origin.

I am an architect from Istanbul Türkiye and I understood every word of Tatar but only some few Yakuts. This means that I can understand almost everything if I live in Kazan of Tataristan. Thank you girls. Selam sizlere.

As a Turkish speaker Tatar vocabulary seemed more familiar to me but for some reason Sakha accent was closer to modern Istanbul Turkish. I think part of the reason can be Tatar language is influenced by Russian. Strange enough I think Tatar language also influenced Russian accent because I can hear similarities. Considering they have been mingling for centuries this makes sense.

As for Tatar, my guess is in Turkey we may have as much as one million Crimean Tatar people (most of them mixed with the diverse Turkish population). Why Crimean Tatars were pushed out of Crimea is another story. Crimean Tatar language is even more similar to Turkish than Tataristan Turkic language due to Crimean Khanate's proximity and relations with Ottoman Empire. Most of the Crimean Tatar descent people in Turkey are scholars, authors, teachers and even politicians (at least two Prime Ministers). Three of the most famous Turkish historians are Crimean Tatar descent (if there's any interest I can list them).

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. 😄 It is so interesting how different but also how similar our Turkic languages are. My mother tongue is Kazakh language and I am really happy how diverse our Turkic languages are 😊🇰🇿!

Наткнулась на это видео вчера и уде посмотрела более двадцати видео. Сама родом из Чукотки, живу в центральной россии. Спасибо за то, что рассказываете на весь мир о быте, красотах, языке и всём прочем. И спасибо за то, что делаете это на английском. Это очень важно для охвата большей аудитории.

Hello, I am Spanish and never before have listened both of your lenguages, I think it's very interesting and they are beautiful. Greetings from Madrid, Spain. 🇪🇸💙

[brettbogie]

Very interesting! Impressive that you both are fluent in three languages and probably more. I recognized so many Turkish words from my travels in Turkey. It's interesting to learn how the Turkic language has moved to different parts of the continent over hundreds of years.

[csongorbatari]

Салем с Астаны от Казахов! Девчонки, Вы это так здорово придумали и сделали! И очень правильно сделали, что на английском! Татарский и Якутский язык Очень похож на наш Казахский язык!Особенно Татарский. У нас в. Казахстане татаров много проживает. Язык почти одинаковый с нашим! А вот, что Якутский язык тоже похоже не знал.. Очень рад за Якутов! АЛГА САХА! ♥️🇰🇿
