    Imagine a country where the president is like "REALLLLY" trying to reclaim your traditional roots while simeltaneously rebuilding everything out of marble and rapping with his grandson. That's only a SMALL piece of #Turkmenistan. Enjoy this episode and thanks to MALIKA, and her dad Najmiddin for being in the episode as well as all the other rare Turkmen people we found that helped out!

    having someone that works as a content creator talk about their own country means that the flow of the video sounds and looks a lot more professional than other episodes which featured guests from the country being covered.
    the presentation play she did with Hannah, hiding behind her and showing up with each word, was lovely :)

Especially at night it was an amazing experience. Kunga-Urgench at the north was so beautiful. I would have liked to visit so much more places, to bad it's all so restricted and difficult. But thankfull to have been able to see all these amazing places.

He was a nice guy, he told me some of Turkmen traditions and many cool stuff from their traditional medicine. Like eating dried snake meat heals all diseases and drinking rabbit blood also does something supernatural to your body. Central Asia is one big family. Love to everyone.

In the process of development of Turkic peoples - their carriers, dialects and languages were formed, characterized by similarities - as a result of the unity of their origin and by differences, which are explained by the collapse of the common base language into dialects, and then into separate languages and groups of languages."
    The term Turkic represents a broad ethno-linguistic group of peoples including existing societies such as Altai, Azerbaijanis, Balkars, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Crimean Karaites, Gagauz, Karachays, Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Khakas, Krymchaks, Kyrgyz people, Nogais, Qashqai, Tatars, Turkmens, Turkish people, Tuvans, Uyghurs, Uzbeks, and Yakuts and as well as ancient and medieval states such as Dingling, Bulgars, Alat, Basmyl, Onogurs, Shatuo, Chuban,Pannonian Avars, Göktürks, Oghuz Turks, Kankalis, Khazars, Khiljis, Kipchaks, Kumans, Karluks, Bahri Mamluks, Ottoman Turks, Seljuk Turks, Tiele, Timurids, Turgeshes, Yenisei Kirghiz, and Huns, Tuoba,Tauri and the Xiongnu.[24][25][26][27][28]
