Similarities Between Turkish and Yakut (Siberian Turkic language)

Can Turkish speakers understand other Turkic languages such as Turkmen, Uzbek, Uyghur, Kazakh, Yakut, and others? In this episode we showcase some of the similarities between Yakut (Sakha), a Turkic language spoken in Yakutia, a federal Russian Republic in Siberia, and Turkish. A list of words and sentences will be given to Eray (a Turkish speaker from Turkey) and Artem (Yakut speaker from Yakutia) to see how well they can understand one another. The words share a common Turkic root.

The Turkish language, which is also referred to as Istanbul Turkish, is the most widely spoken of the Turkic languages, with most of its native speakers living in Western Asia, and significant group of speakers in Germany, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Northern Cyprus, Greece, the Caucasus, and other parts of Europe and Central Asia. Ottoman Turkish, which was a variation of the Turkish spoken today, influenced many parts of Europe during the time that the Ottoman Empire expanded. When the modern Turkish republic was established, one of Atatürk's Reforms consisted of changing the Ottoman Turkish alphabet with a Latin alphabet. Today, Turkish is recognized as a minority language in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Iraq, Macedonia, and Romania.
The Yakut language (known also as Sakha, Saqa or Saxa) is a Turkic language primarily spoken in Sakha (Yakutia), a federal republic in the Russian Federation by the Yakuts.
The Turkic languages consist of over 35 different documented languages, originating from East Asia. Turkish has the highest number of native speakers out of all Turkic language. There is a high degree of mutual intelligibility among the various Oghuz languages, which include Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, Gagauz, Balkan Gagauz Turkish and Oghuz-influenced Crimean Tatar.
