No thats different, most Turkic people indeed have some foreign genes because even if they not came to densely populated lands like Iran or Anatolia, steppes still had a indo-european population in ancient times, and they're surely consumed by Turkics coming from east.

In Uyghurs case, as far as I know their lands was a major center of indo-european speakers, thats why they have more foreign genes in them then lets say Kazakhs, Krygyz, who inhabits large steppes with historically no sedentary people.

In Krygyz claim, they say they were originally a indo-european people.

@Ahiska

Do you know Russian ?

Nope and im glad not to speak it

 

[Targon]

Does anyone knows Russian ? @telkon @ASQ-1918 ?

@Targon

the topic is too broad. for example there are 11 books on jie people of 2. century AD alone.

Otto Maenchen-Helfen's book on huns is very good. and i think there are books by L. Gumilev which are translated into turkish. gumilev is my favourite. and also there's too much difference between western and russian turkology. first i read russian books, then i read westerners' books and the difference is astonishing. example: westerners say huns are mongols, russians say turkic. westerners say saka are iranian, russians say of mixed or turkic origin.

edit: there's book by faruk sümer named oğuzlar-türkmenler. it's also very good.

And I'm glad I speak it. Its a gateway to knowledge.

I'm learning Russian but I will go nowhere with my laziness and only-study-before-exams tempo in practise, can you find me some visual sources that has relatively easy language and subtitles(subtitles can be Russian as well) like cartoons, visual stories, or anything so I can improve my sentence making and pronunciation.

You can try rosetta stone educational sofware. I studied latin and polish with it. Wasn't bad.

Does it just teaches beginners level ?

Found this

I have books and notes, I need such practices just for pronunciation and sentence making cool stories.

Primsleur is the best language learning source. I learnt German with it. There is also Russian learning material from this same company: Russian, Basic: Learn to Speak and Understand Russian with Pimsleur Language Programs: Pimsleur: 9780743550765: Amazon.com: Books

I recommend this one. It is full package. Also CD and exercises are included. You just one make investment and buy it and you are don't have extra expenses.

Well, it has varying levels for different languages. I can't tell you for sure about russian pack. You can speak to the microphone and it calculates how good your pronunciation is it gives you words and asks to make sentence. At least that was the case with latin and polish.
Sorry, logging from mobile so can't view youtube video.

@Targon
After you learn some russian google translate is good to use when you are wondering what a certain word is when you are thinking of a sentence. I use it alot with my arabic.

Really? I also want to learn Russian because most Turkic peoples speak Russian. I don't have time now but when I have I will try Assimil. If you are handy you can even find free pdf on the net.
