  • As a Japanese, I'd heard about the Kyrgyz people as being similar-looking to the Japanese. Freshly arrived in Bishkek, the capital of the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan, I took to the streets to observe the highly intriguing people that inhabited it. As someone who had always dreamed of visiting this region of the world, the experience was truly awe-inducing.

      I see a lot of similarity between historical Kyrgyz and every minor character in the video game Breath of the Wild, as well as the environment. It has the red cliffsides, and soviet-influenced soundscape and rustic technology that makes it the perfect virtual travel destination.
      If only Aitysh Film could be attached to make a feature film like that, aside from Queen of the Mountains. The unique skill of the Kyrgyz people in horsemanship would be a valuable asset to bring the Zelda franchise to life.

    Dude do you delete my comments? i posted two comment, one was quiet long explaining that mongoloid word is a wrong and outdated word that you should use north east asian term for the feature, because the original Turkic from east siberia for example the yakuts look even more north east asian than mongols. (if we use the term mongoloid it would mean Yakuts Turks are more mongoloid than mongols themselves which ofcourse makes zero sense) So please use French-English-Turkish/Translated sources and not russian.

    If you ask random people in the streets they will say you that their Muslims. Because people don't want to be judged, there are a lot of aggressive believers , so people just want to avoid conflict with them. Usually those are southerners, they have more religious traditions. Nomad people before USSSR were not Muslims, they believed to their own god.
    During Soviet Union we became atheists, but women in countryside usually cover their head , not like hijap , just traditional way of covering. Covering hears for married women is our kyrgyz tradition that's why they do.

    Japanese look like Kyrgyz. Not the other way round. Kyrgyz are older and if you look at migration routes Japan would have been colonised after Centra asia. The theory is that Japanese were a tribe of Kyrgyz that left and colonised the island. In fact the Kyrgyz word for wild is жапайы pronounced japai. This isn’t definitive proof and none exists as records of this part of world were held by china and then stolen by the Japanese during Second World War. And the Japanese would never release that info if they had it. But it does seem that Japanese are wild Kyrgyz tribe…… but not other way round Kyrgyz don’t look Japanese. Japanese look Kyrgyz. Thanks

    dictor on podcast so on point.it is fu..ing hilarious lol.The main reason why south and north a bit different is geography. to be exact mountains. through history it was a bit challenging with horses thats why connection was not tight.south part consists 60% of population and less educated. Islam constantly coming from west and north west and south(Uzbekistan,Iran,Middle east) thats why south part got more influence. North part 40% more educated less religious, main reason russians. big influence from them. Russian empire have annexed north part first and have located in north part mainly.and thats why north part speaks russian better than south part. Salute from kyrgyz guy living in usa. btw im from north part ))

    Interesting that you mention how similar races stick with each other and there's hardly any mixing among races as I made a similar comment on Rami Travel's video that was taken in Argentina where one could clearly see the Europeans together, the Indigenous Indians together etc etc. It's the same everywhere I guess. Even here in Australia where I live its like that. You do of course get the white guy asian girl couple every now and then but that's not to say the white guy will ever have asian guy friends or suddenly start hanging out with asian guys or the asian female will have white female friends because you hardly see this happen as well. The kids from these relationship from my observation usually end up hanging out with asians as they don't seem to be accepted by whites in the friend circle for some reason. Not that the asians are all accepting so they grow up being lost and confused with their identity.
