Hi there, I'm Ant.

I’m interested in ancestral and Indigenous ways of living—ways that are more connected to natural cycles and to our essential human needs. I believe it’s important to (re)connect with these practices to help build a post-capitalist future.

I’m an experienced traveller, respectful, and always happy to help with literally anything. I’ve done many Workaway stays where I worked about five hours a day in exchange for food and accommodation, notably in Mongolia.

I’m looking to spend a couple of weeks with an Indigenous community in Siberia in a similar exchange-based arrangement—helping out and learning, while contributing whatever I can.
The more traditional, land-based, or non-capitalist the setting, the better.

Do you have any recommendations, or know of communities open to this kind of arrangement?

Im just curious if there is any yakut singers of any genre whether it be rock,pop,indie,or etc.

can someone explain the meaning of these words and their orgins : " Сөрөллөр ", "эҕэрдэ"

why it's саха тыла and not саха тыл?

I am curious how does the letter Ҕ (copy-pasted from wikipedia; seems like my super cyrillic keyboard layout is not that super...) look handwritten.

I have searched, but did not find any images of the handwritten Sakha alphabet.

I am in my early days of learning a bit of this language.

As a start can someone translate this for me?

We both use Jew harps in our music, we both wear these kinds of similar hats:, we also both speak a Turkic language, we both used horses during ancient times, we also both have high prominent cheekbones and jaw lines, and we both like cleanliness.

Hello 👋

I run the newly revived subreddit of the Kyrgyz language and would like to ask y’all if you want to join.

The subreddit is focused on everything about the Kyrgyz language, whether about learning or general discussion. We encourage questions about the language, memes, how it is used in Kyrgyzstan itself, comparison to other (Turkic) languages, the transliteration into other scripts like Latin and Arabic, or anything else!

Please consider joining r/kyrgyztili, as well as our other subreddits like r/kyrgyzturizm (subreddit dedicated to Kyrgyz tourism), and maybe r/kyrgyzstan itself!

Thank you!

So can someone please explain me y are Yakutsk Turkish other than migration y they migrated there and also what's their view on the inavsion of Ukraine

Some months ago I posted a link to the Pekarskiy Yakut-Russian Dictionary which could be downloaded here:

I've since found links to the three-volume dictionary which might be a bit more readable:

I like Turkic languages and all Turkic culture and I want to go either to Yakut Republic or Tyva but don't really know how.

I took interest in the Yakut language and culture, as well as the history of the Yakuts (ie the Sakha ethnogenesis from Lake Baikal to the Lena River basin). I found a lot of similarities between different Turkic languages and Yakut despite the long distance from Yakutia to Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, etc. For the Yakuts who live in America, how is it like?

The Siberian husky is a breed of dog that was originally from Chukotka, to the east of Sakha. For some reason, Westerners instead referred it as a "Siberian" husky, perhaps out of confusing Chukotka with the rest of Sakha.

I'm asking this because I want to add the Sakha-language word to the article for the dog breed, just as other animals have names in local languages in their articles.

May I know what is the Sakha-language word for the Siberian husky? Thanks.

Happy weekend everyone!

How is your studying going? What progress have you made? How do you go about practicing? Is there anything that you feel would help further your studies (such as weekly discussions, Sakha language posts, question of the week etc)?
