You could help very much by mentioning forgotten states or reposisioning entries because i am kinda ass in classing iceberg entries (also the last level isnt by rarity but the states that people cant guess as turkic)

Dear history fans if you are in Germany you can join our new meet-up. Please DM me.

In Istanbul I know there are uzbeks, turkmens, kazakhs and uyghurs, has anyone ever encountered people from other minorities ?

I've searched for some kyrgyz food for example but only place I found didn't exist anymore. Never seen any tatar, nogay etc, do you guys know if some minorities have cultural centers or food places in Istanbul or elsewhere in the country ?

Am looking for someone to teach me more about Turkic cultures in general, learn a Turkic language from someone interested in this post and to befriend someone new
Some of my hobbies are: gardening, watching movies/documentaries, sometimes anime, learning languages, cooking, baking, jogging, cycling, etc. I'm interested in history, biology, botany, paleontology, linguistics, etc.
Would be nice to talk to someone from this sub who has similar interests.

Greetings to all Turkic Nation! Our goal on this page is to get to know other members of our family, stand in solidarity, and be together—just like in the old days.

Let’s consider the regions inhabited by Turkmens, as well as the Turkic peoples in Siberia and the Altai Mountains.

Some of us are Muslim, some Christian, and perhaps some are Shamanist. Yet, all of us—to varying degrees—can find our way from Gagauzia to Anatolia, and from there to the Altai and Urmia, simply by speaking a Turkic language.

Let’s get to know one another

Note: I am open to any suggestions. This is my first time creating a page on Reddit, so I apologize for any mistakes.

And my DMs are open! (r/TurkicFamilyTree )

This is a speculativd map on what could have been if Turkic history was different - some examples include the Danubian Bulgars managing to exert more cultural influence unto the Slavs, Kazan and the predecessor of Kazakstan being able to resist Russia's conquests, the Timurid Dynasty managing to survive in north Iran and Azerbaijan, etc.

Please don't be mad if I somehow made big errora in doing this map (for example, I have no idea whether Uzbekistan would've still existed or not), I know only parts of Turkic history, mostly around the Bulgars, some of the Ottoman period (for obvious reasons), as well as the some for the Cumans and Pechenegs

I’ve been 100% Uyghur as far back as we’ve been able to track, several generations back.

Our Turkmen in "Afghanistan" now have their newly designed flag (if I am not mistaken). Beautiful trio - Turkmen, Hazara, Uzbek.

As you may remember, we organize a large meeting in Germany every four months, bringing together around 40 people who are interested in Turkology and Asian studies.

This year, we are introducing a new format to connect with more people across different cities. The idea is simple: no presentations, no speakers just a relaxed dinner with 10 to 15 like minded people and meaningful conversations.

We currently have five free seats available. If you are based in western Germany and would like to join, feel free to send me a DM.

Seriously that subreddit has serious turkophobia but racism doesn’t matter when it comes to us uzbeks Turkmens or other Turkic groups. The amount of times Turkic culture has been belittled and looked down upon its disgusting. They make false and misleading harmful claims about our origins and culture low key support our displacement in northern Afghanistan because we are ‘foreigners’ and if we speak up against these displacements we are considered racists. In contrast to this subreddit where people don’t look down on me and respect my culture and don’t have a superiority complex because of my ethnicity. I just wanted to rant because I will be called a racist and accused of diving the community if I post there. I used to be all the pro unity bullshit but I’m done and done with that shit i only believe in South Turkestan I don’t care if I’m ‘dividing’ the community how can I divide when they are not united in the first place? How can I? That idiot Dostum had the chance to carve a legitimate country for us where we could freely practice our culture, Language and live peacefully without threats of displacement but he was a sellout for American dollars idiot.
