It’s kinda sad that the Aral Sea is almost completely dried up, it’s one of the worst man made disasters. This was all the fault of Khrushchev, he ordered dams to be put on the rivers that gave the sea water, and to dig new canals to provide the rich cotton fields of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Now there’s nothing but some abandoned ships and the ground has a lot of salt, and because the Soviets experimented nukes and dumped waste into it the winds could pick up in that Area and give people cancer. The Uzbek and Kazakh governments have tried making some new canals, their way of saving it is to make the south sea bigger, and to do that they’re gonna kill the North Sea.
After the sea dried up, medieval ruins were found on the bottom, so it is probably remnant of an old glacial lake meant to to dry up in the end, just like green sahara. Still sad that it happened, and Khruschev certainly didnt help.

Pakistan actually got the Stan name due to the province of Balochistan, which is part of the greater balochistan region that covers parts of Iran as well. It was coined in 1933 by Chaudhary Rehmat Ali

As A Turk,I can confirm that we add “stan” to some countries too.

There are a few more reasons for Pakistan being persianised. 1) Half of ethnic groups of pakistan are Iranian ethnicities(Pashtuns, Balochs, Hazara etc). 2)muslim dominance in Pakistan area.
@@xanshen9011 Wtf has blood got to do with Iranic? Hazaras speak a Persian dialect called Hazargi, follow Shi'ism and are extremely pro-Iran. They are the most pro-Iranian group in Afghanistan. Even more than Pashtuns, Tajiks & Baloch who are actually Iranic people. In fact, most Pashtuns, Tajiks & Baloch are quite anti-Iran.

3:10 Kazakh Khans were Jochids and therefore Merkits who were pseudo Chinggisids. We can’t really say that they were directly Chinggisids due to claiming his ancestry.
I'm Kazakh and you're correct. Nobody likes to accept it but not only we are not related to Mongols in any way, also our royalty was pseudo-Mongolic. I always compare it to how everyone in Europe claimed successorship to Rome, like Germans, Turks and Russians while they obviously weren't Roman successors but used it to greaten themselves
@@siratshi455 Kazakh is a mix of turkic and mongolic tribes mate. So you cant say that, at one point you shared similar religion and lifestyle with Mongols.

Kyrgyzstan is actually really nice. The capital Bishkek has all you need and isn't that big, yet doesn't feel like a village, stuff works decently (sometimes even better than let's say in Latin America), there is some culture to be discovered, lots of different food to eat, many natural places/lakes/mountains/parks/forests to visit, people are usually friendly, the women are beautiful, it isn't that big of a country and if you have a decent job or work online you can have a good lifestyle. My vote goes to Kyrgyzstan. Maga Kyrgyzstan jagat. Luxembourgdan salam.
People got idea than if our endings -stan we similar, but turckic countries ethnicaly and culturaly different, as a kazakh i can see union beetwen turckic countries but not with iranian, FinLAND and EngLAND not similar, same with us.
Pakistan has Iranic, Indo-Aryan, as well as Dravidian, Tibetian, Bantu and even isolated (Burusho) cultural/ethnolinguistic groups, so yeah its very diverse
There are also several nations that have the suffix in the names in Armenian, Persian, or Turkish.

Dont forget that the mughals are from ferghana valley, they were descendents of Tamerlane and the first few generation of emporers even called themselves "Gurkani".Afterwards moving onto the persianate "Padshah", due to persian culture and language being prestigous

In the classical Persian literary tradition - the entire vocabulary of which consists of stock phrases and images - "Turk' and 'Tajik' are stand-in terms for easily recognizable social stereotypes: one simple but violent; the other wily but civilized. Rūmi turns this on its head, however, in the following couplet: Attack upon attack came the darkness of night/Be strong like a Turk, not soft like a Tajik' (Yek hamleh va yek hamleh, āmad shab va tārīkī/chosti kon va "Torki' kon, na narmī va ‘Tājīkī'). Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di: 'Maybe they'll tell the King/"Your Turk (i.e., your Beloved) has spilled Tajik blood" (Shayad ke be padshah begüyand/Tork-e tö berikht khūn-e Tājīk), or elsewhere, 'Show your Tajik face, not Abyssinian black/That the Heavens may obliterate the face of the Turks' (Ru-ye Tājīkāna-t benmā, tā dagh-e habash/ Asman chehre-ye Torkān yaghma'i keshad). Since Turkic men often ‘married up’ and started families with Tajik women, the bloodlines tended to become increasingly mixed over the generations. (Recent DNA studies in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have shown no notable genetic difference between modern Uzbeks and Tajiks.) And since children typically spent their first years within the harem, the influence of Tajik mothers in constructing the identity of their mixed-race children was surely much greater than is admitted in the patriarchal written sources of the time. Military figures in particular often made much of their tough Turkic heritage, even as they sought to demonstrate their own cultivation by speaking Persian and patronizing Persian courtly culture. The Tajik scribes, for their part, were naturally required to flatter their patrons, but they flattered themselves as well in whatever subtle ways they could. - Richard Foltz, Chapter 4, Tajiks and Turks, The Turk-Tajik symbiosis
Strange fact: there's also same last name as "Stan" from people like dream Stan, kpop Stan, meowbahh stan and more. It's strange that people call Stans instead fans
Ikr Sanskrit gave Many countries there name like china and all the stan countries stan is a sanskrit word And most of the southeast Asian countries name too
Technically Afghanistan is now one of the largest territories not controlled by a UN member. Edit : I'm looking up all the non-UN territories I can think of and Afghanistan seems to be THE largest.

Thanks a lot for the recognition dude. Just one correction K2 has been part of Pakistan since 47 as it’s located inside the Pakistani controlled territory not near the border much love tho
Fun fact many other countries also have names ending in Stan in languages like Turkish, Urdu, Persian and Hindi. Such as Hindustan (India), Englestan (England), Mongolistan (Mongolia) and Yunanistan (Greece) etc
There are more words with 'Stan' such as 'kubristan' which means grave yard and 'gulistan' which means garden or a land with flower because gul means flower
Another fact about Uzbekistan is that is one of the only two countries that are double-landlocked. (Meaning that it's also surrounded by landlocked countries
Actually its kinda cool From all sic turkic countries 4 have stan a persian word Azerbaijan is a completely persian word too! Meaning all except turkey has something to do with Persians:)
Kyrgyzstan is my favourite country cuz it's my *motherland* ☭ xDD but if no joke, then Kyrgyzstan, although it has big problems, for example a horrendous corruption.

Also, Kyrgyzstan is the only fairly democratic country among Central Asia, with a normal turnover of power and a multi-party system. Greetings from Kyrgyzstan guys 🇰🇬 :D Sorry for my bad english, if I made grammatical mistakes
Turkey is not the origin of Turks. It’s not their influence on stans, but the ancient heritage of nomads of those lands. Ancestors of Turks just migrated from Central Asia while others stayed
Her point still stands. It's odd for the -stans to have Turkey put over it as though it's influence is derived from them when it's the exact opposite. @@katitobyt
Fun Fact: In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, you can find several ethnic Koreans (known as Koryo-Saram). They were deported from the Russian Far East to Central Asia by Stalin in the 1930s in fear that the Koreans living there were spies for the Japanese Empire (Korea was under Japanese annexation at the time). I'd also love to see a video explaining the Koryo-Saram in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
In india we don't use hindustan but actually "hindusthan", stan is persian while sthan is a sanskrit word ,even in Pakistan they do write Pakistan but actually pronounce it with h in middle(pakisthan). It's an indo European language word and can be found with variations like Stan(persian)=sthan(indian)=stay(english).

We all stan nations should make an alliance kinda similar to the europian union it can help us dominate on them lame non-stan nations, the supremacy of the stans, the ultimate Stanistan...
This was exactly the ambition of the Muslim League following the creation of Pakistan. Only the name propsed at that time was 'Islamistan'. However Europe didn't approve of it, neither did the other Muslim nations concerned themselves as they saw clearly that the proposed Islamistan would be heavily dominated by the Punjabis & Pasthuns (an allegation levelled against the Pakistani establishment itself by Sindhis, Balochis & Muhajirs) & such astate would easily break down (like Yugoslavia).
All Central Asian countries r having better per capita and HDI and good standard of living compared to Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is because Central Asian countries are not religious.If you join with Pakistan then your country will get destroyed
@@savitar8002 Yeah I remember visiting Kazakhstan some years back and what I saw blew my mind I saw a Jew and a muslim praying together I have never seen such things I think it all has to do what Russian influences on th they are very secular and even Atheists. Pakistan and Afghanistan is just a regular backward Islamic nation
6:47 I like how %70 of the names there are in Turkish, theres a shit ton of stan names in Turkey such as: Greece - Yunanistan India - Hindistan Bulgaria - Bulgaristan Serbia - Sırbistan Croatia - Hırvatistan Mongolia - Moğolistan Georgia - Gürcistan Armenia - Ermenistan Hungary - Macaristan Saudi Arabia - Suudi Arabistan
Most of stan countries are Soviet central Asia, except for Pakistan, in Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan, pretty much unclear if it's Indian subcontinent or Central Asia (it's kinda transcontinental like Turkey is)
afghanistan is central asian. Remember that those borders for different subcontinents are artificial and afghanistan meets every requirement to be in central asia
Stans did not take their ending -stan by themselves but it was given by Russian empire. Before russians there were only two main powers. Kazakhs and Uzbeks. Especially, Uzbeks suffered a lot from russians, from their lands were created Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan which made a lot of Uzbeks to be left outside of Uzbekistan.

Pakistan actually got the Stan name due to the province of Balochistan, which is part of the greater balochistan region that covers parts of Iran as well. It was coined in 1933 by Chaudhary Rehmat Ali
that's only partially true

As A Turk,I can confirm that we add “stan” to some countries too. For example:
Bulgaria=Bulgaristan
India=Hindistan
Serbia=Sırbistan
Croatia=Hırvatistan
Greece=Yunanistan
Georgia=Gürcistan
Saudi Arabia= Suudi Arabistan
Mongolia=Moğolistan
Armenia=Ermenistan
Hungary=Macaristan
“Ia” in English is the “istan/stan” in Turkish.

Actually in India too we call ourselves Hindusthan or bharat but now we prefer bharat more
@@romilchaudhary7011 we call Spice "Baharat" in Turkish.
That's actually how we call them in iran
There are a few more reasons for Pakistan being persianised.
1) Half of ethnic groups of pakistan are Iranian ethnicities(Pashtuns, Balochs, Hazara etc).
2)muslim dominance in Pakistan area.
Hazaras are not iranian ethnically. Linguistically yes, but not by blood.
@@xanshen9011 Wtf has blood got to do with Iranic? Hazaras speak a Persian dialect called Hazargi, follow Shi'ism and are extremely pro-Iran. They are the most pro-Iranian group in Afghanistan. Even more than Pashtuns, Tajiks & Baloch who are actually Iranic people. In fact, most Pashtuns, Tajiks & Baloch are quite anti-Iran.

Bruh, dumbest comment
Jochi is literally oldest son of Ghenghis khan. How can you get closer than that?
I'm Kazakh and you're correct. Nobody likes to accept it but not only we are not related to Mongols in any way, also our royalty was pseudo-Mongolic. I always compare it to how everyone in Europe claimed successorship to Rome, like Germans, Turks and Russians while they obviously weren't Roman successors but used it to greaten themselves
Jochi being the son of Chilger bukh isn't confirmed, so we will never know if Jochi was son of Genghis or Chilger.

Stan countries when a country called Dreamstan declared themselves independant
In the classical Persian literary tradition - the entire vocabulary of which consists of stock phrases and images - "Turk' and 'Tajik' are stand-in terms for easily recognizable social stereotypes: one simple but violent; the other wily but civilized. Rūmi turns this on its head, however, in the following couplet: Attack upon attack came the darkness of night/Be strong like a Turk, not soft like a Tajik' (Yek hamleh va yek hamleh, āmad shab va tārīkī/chosti kon va "Torki' kon, na narmī va ‘Tājīkī'). Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di: 'Maybe they'll tell the King/"Your Turk (i.e., your Beloved) has spilled Tajik blood" (Shayad ke be padshah begüyand/Tork-e tö berikht khūn-e Tājīk), or elsewhere, 'Show your Tajik face, not Abyssinian black/That the Heavens may obliterate the face of the Turks' (Ru-ye Tājīkāna-t benmā, tā dagh-e habash/ Asman chehre-ye Torkān yaghma'i keshad).
Since Turkic men often ‘married up’ and started families with Tajik women, the bloodlines tended to become increasingly mixed over the generations. (Recent DNA studies in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have shown no notable genetic difference between modern Uzbeks and Tajiks.) And since children typically spent their first years within the harem, the influence of Tajik mothers in constructing the identity of their mixed-race children was surely much greater than is admitted in the patriarchal written sources of the time. Military figures in particular often made much of their tough Turkic heritage, even as they sought to demonstrate their own cultivation by speaking Persian
and patronizing Persian courtly culture. The Tajik scribes, for their part, were
naturally required to flatter their patrons, but they flattered themselves as well
in whatever subtle ways they could.
- Richard Foltz, Chapter 4, Tajiks and Turks, The Turk-Tajik symbiosis
Strange fact: there's also same last name as "Stan" from people like dream Stan, kpop Stan, meowbahh stan and more. It's strange that people call Stans instead fans

Technically Afghanistan is now one of the largest territories not controlled by a UN member.
Edit : I'm looking up all the non-UN territories I can think of and Afghanistan seems to be THE largest. Here's the one's I checked, point out any I missed
Afghanistan (obviously)
Western Sahara
Nagorno-karabakh
ISIS territory (at it's peak)
Yemen (even if the entire country was under rebel control (which it isn't) it still wouldn't be bigger)
Northern Cyprus
Abkhazia
South Ossetia
Transnistria
Palestine
Somaliland
Taiwan
Kosovo
If anyone thinks of any more lmk. Also I didnt bother checking Bir Tawil, Vatican City or Liberland since their all ridiculously small.
Ok another edit : as someone in the replies has pointed theres a non-UN territory thats WAAAAAY bigger than Afghanistan, Antarctica. Yeah I'm not sure how I forgot about that.

This was exactly the ambition of the Muslim League following the creation of Pakistan. Only the name propsed at that time was 'Islamistan'. However Europe didn't approve of it, neither did the other Muslim nations concerned themselves as they saw clearly that the proposed Islamistan would be heavily dominated by the Punjabis & Pasthuns (an allegation levelled against the Pakistani establishment itself by Sindhis, Balochis & Muhajirs) & such astate would easily break down (like Yugoslavia).

Stans did not take their ending -stan by themselves but it was given by Russian empire. Before russians there were only two main powers. Kazakhs and Uzbeks. Especially, Uzbeks suffered a lot from russians, from their lands were created Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan which made a lot of Uzbeks to be left outside of Uzbekistan.
