Great video. I am a Jordanian Chechen. I would like to add that the Chechens came what’s now know as Jordan over 100 years ago and they helped to build Jordan.
Ofcourse! No doubt about that. and they r a very good Citizens too.
My dear chechen sister. Chechens need to turn to Lord Jesus Christ and leave the arabic cult called Islam behind.
Better you live your own life perfectly.
I'm a Circassian watching from The Caucasus-Russia
Cheers 👍🏼
@enas basıyanık. Believe me, accepting Islam was the best thing to ever happen to Circassians
@enas basıyanık. Christians also pray to Allah, the name Allah is written hundreds of times in the Arabic bible, Check your facts mait!
@enas basıyanık. No the Arabic bible isn't used by Syriacs and Copts only, it's also used by Arabs who lived in the Levant region, Iraq, the Arabian peninsula and Egypt way before Islam, and they did use the word Allah to refer to the one and only God.
There's no proof what so ever that Syriacs and Copts were "Ordered" to use this name you're making things up, and in their languages they still don't use it, we're talking here about Arabs, Arab Christians pray to Allah before Islam and they still do.
Anyway man, I'm not willing to waste more time, i just wanna tell you, go back to true monotheism and leave this idolatry, Allah doesn't have partners, He begets not, nor is He begotten and there is none like unto Him، he doesn't need a human sacrifice to forgive our sins, he's all powerful all merciful, you're gambling with your afterlife, take a step back and think th-cam.com/video/ZNgdqgduC7Q/w-d-xo.html
Brother remove Russia from your comment, the caucuses was never and will never be Russian to any sane caucasian even if it is so on papers.
I AM CIRCASSIAN! I feel so involved for once :’)
Адыгэ уэй уэй
Me too but my name is turkish
Where the organ of Circassians and what language do they speak?
@@timaaldoseri7687
From the the kavkaz region and speak circassian which as most languages in that region are language isolate meaning they don't belong to any other family groups.
يعني بالعربي القفقاز و بلغتهم kavkaz و بالإنجليزية يقولون قوقاز و Caucases و قد تخيلت هنا العبارة مع لفظة شكل قوقازي بتعني الشكل الاوراسي في علم البشرية لان الاوربيين قاموا بتسمية الشكل على تلك المنطقة لانه كانت عندهم فرضية ان كل من له ذلك المظهر أصله من القفقاز
باختصار الشركس من القوقاز و منهم المسلمون و النصارى و لغتهم هي الشركسية و لبسهم و عاداتهم القديمة تشبه عادات باقي اهل القفقاز
adigaaaaaa
Jordan is hope for so many. May God continue to elevate and empower Jordanians to be hospitable hosts of the needy. Loved the video!

For one of my classes I had to choose a country to learn about. It’s a year long project and every month we get about 10 assignments for it. Your TH-cam account has helped me so much! I have learned so much about the culture and it’s social dynamics! I love your videos.
I learned so much! Thank you for breaking this down.

Great video 💜
Dear Rachel. Thank you for this nice and informative video. You deserve a PHD in history 😁
Nice video as always 👍
Among the Caucasian groups, Circassians and Armenians were described as coming to Jordan at the end of the Ottoman empire, while Chechens were singled out as refugees. Rightfully so, many in the comments took issue with this. If I'm not mistaken, this probably stems from a confusion on the part of the publisher that the Chechens have come to Jordan during the recent Chechen wars starting in the 90s of the 20th century, when many Chechen refugees arrived in Europe. That's not the case in Jordan. Chechens have arrived in Jordan at the turn of the 19th century, and established towns and communities towards the end of the Ottoman empire before modern day Jordan had existed as a political entity. And again fleeing from persecution in their homeland as was the case with the other groups.
ديك دو اح تسارين قيتيتين وي نان مو خاز خيت عربيشين بيتيش بوت هر يورتيح
You are absolutely right my nohchi brother
Aremenians aren't Caucasian group the are indo-european
@edps cupcake The Armenian Highlands have nothing to do with the Caucasus. and the city of Yerevan is a Persian city that was conquered by the Russians. In the south Caucasus, Stalin gave 50% of the land of Caucasian Albania to Azerbaijanis and Armenians, and annexed the remaining 50% to Dagestan. These lands of Udin and Lekov are under the occupation of Armenians and Azerbaijanis. It is only thanks to these people that Armenians Azerbaijanis consider themselves Caucasians
@@tsetseenitytto727 WTF ? XDD
Jordan is a hospitable and generous country
They do the best they can with what they've got, generally. Every government struggles and it is hard to sustain guest populations when resources are spread thin.
Mashallah ! ..you did a great job finding these informations ..
We are just doing our duty towards our brothers and sisters who faced alot of hardship in their countries ..may Allah blease them all and return peace to their lands .
Amazing vlog👌🏻 Thank you!

Thanks for the information provided for Jordan .You have the rgueth about Jodan .Welcome to our familyn.You are actually one active member of the Jordanian family.
Thank you for that

This was like a history lecture hhh, amazing as always ❤
She's more pleasant than a lecture.

Sometimes when I am in Jordan I am busy being irritated with the overwhelming public smoking, the fact that everyone is late, the various difficulties encountered, and struggling with my terrible arabic. It is lovely to take a beat and focus on the lovely bits.

Love this country so much and will def be visiting it several times in coming life Insha Allah
Salaams! Around 6:56 you said "Bahis", but I'm assuming you meant the Baháʼí Faith. The Fársí (Persian) & Arabic pronunciation of their religion is "Buh-hi"! Lovely video!
this vlog is really amazing
Good job 👏 It is a very nice vlog.
The most Jordanian who in Al Karak, Ma‘an, Al Tafilah, Al Mafraq and Madaba live, they identify as a Bedouins. ❤️😄
What a beautiful Hijab🥰

Great video.. pragmatic and rich for a short ethnic summary Video 👌🏽🙂
Could u pls make a video about jordans architecture ???? Like homes or other buildings
well other than in the deep south of Jordan where you can see Petra and a lot of Romans and Greek influenced architecture, most of Jordan artitecture are the same like in other levantines architecture because Jordan used to be part of the Romans and Byzantines sphere of influence. Most native Arabs Jordanian were Bedouins so their dwelling were mostly tents unless you go to the north where they bordered Syria and Palestine. Over there you can see a lot of Roman, Persian and Greek influence and not to mention crusaders influences in Kerak where they build European style castle.
I am really proud of being Jordanian, thank you for sharing this useful information
chechens didn't come as refugees, for them to have been refugees there should have been a country when they came which there wasn't, the chechens came before there was a country named jordan.

I enjoy your videos rachel
Keep it up
Your grand parents came as refugees who fled from the russian czar to the othoman empire (Jordan).
You are a chechen refugee of 6th generation born and living in Jordan. How does it feel to be a proud desert chechen eating Humus and Falafel in Jordan?
@xrt7874 How do you feel about being a russian troll who tries to spread hatred within Chechen communities? Don’t bother, we are one people, wherever we are living. Go worship your russian passport.

Really impressed !!!
A british living in jordan , learned arabic and traditions ,? Mashaa allah
I have been living in england for 26 years and still struggling to adapt.
:-) whats your secret mammy?
I think it’s about where you are - I couldn’t adjust to life in Zarqa at all, but where we are in Amman now I feel more comfortable. Same as anywhere... certain areas of the UK are easier for foreigners than others. Maybe that’s it? Hope you settle soon!
You are the best youtuber 🥰😍😍🥰😍😍🥰love you🥰🥰
Wow You looking soooo good with the hijab.

Masha Allah you are so beautiful I like your TH-cam channel I'm very like you please tell me where you from ❤❤
From all the sacred sites in jordan you forgot the most holy one the baptism site bethany
Do you find Bosnians and muslims from Serbia and Bulgaria in Jordan ?
❤❤❤
One of the reasons why statistics are hard to find is because a lot of those groups have intermarriages between them over the years. Btw there is also a very small minority of Assyrians in Jordan
with all respect, your information about Chechen emigration is totally wrong. Chechen people moved to settle in Levant Holyland before Britten creat Israel and Jordan. please read the history first .
Excellent social topic video and statistical info. indeed , simple enough to give an idea about people combination in Jordan and the historical background behind ... Thank you so much for being well informative person ... By the way , are you still a Christian or Muslim ?
She converted.
@@larkabroad When was that ?!!... I didn't see any video of her declaring that, can you please refer me too ?
@@ahmedalshalchi Here you go, my dear: th-cam.com/video/JKuYxJ0jivE/w-d-xo.html
@@larkabroad I have watched this video for the 3rd or 4th time by now but could not hear or see her testifying the official Islam embracing oath neither neither saying clearly as a Muslim convert or revert... All what she said is her decision to adopt the culture of Hijab ( head scarf ) as a woman daily routine as the community around so the default conclusion is she is still a Christian or at least to say a NON-Muslim ...
@@ahmedalshalchi she talked about it at 4:25 (worried about the response at home because Brits don't like Muslims) and at 4:55 about pressure from the local Muslim community as a convert. She def became Muslim. Is that a concern?
Why captions is Unavailable , , , u speak fast 😂😂😂😂😂
Dear the chechens DID NOT come to Jordan as refugees. Please check your facts. Loved the clip thank you
👍👍
Very informative. I thought it was worth while to mention that Jordan also has Kurds and Jews.
According to the Bible, two and a half of the 12 tribes of Israel settled east of the Jordan River. So there is probably a percentage of people who have Jewish blood but do not know it!
There were definitely Jews living in the area of jordan in past times but i don't think there are any here in jordan today (maybe expat but not jordanian I think)
All of the known Mizrahi left due to the wars through the 1930's.
@@FM-vi3cp Right- according to 2006 data there were no citizens identifying openly as Jewish.
there is kurds in jordan
but jews nah when arabs conquer levant there was no jews they were kicked by romans already
but khalifa Omar bin alkhattab let them back to jerusalem
Do u speek Arabic languge?
Nice video.. But gotta correct you here: Most Jordanians origins are not Bedouins, but farmers. Maybe living in Amman gave you that impression. The North-West of Jordan is the most dense, and it is only farmer Jordanians. Places like Al Salt, Al Karak, Al Shobak are not Bedouins as well. It's a stereotype.
Loveee🇦🇲❤️
You look stunning 😍😍😍
As a Jordanian, you've knowledge and details about Jordan more than I have! lol
Bedouins live in east region of jordan that extend from north to south. Before jordan established as country they live on doing raids on people live farmers living mainly in north western regions of Jordan. They were raids on south western regions but were minimal comparing to north western regions.
That's the reason the 1st wave of circassian royal guards offered their protection of the amir abdullah and sharif Hussein, Bedouins used to do a lot of carriage and caravan raids, no offense to anyone but this is history.
@Ala abdel alwahab it's not about liking a king or not it's about their lifestyle they live to raid and travel to spots of water in the desert (oaisis), the royal guards only work in the kingdom most of the time in the royal castle, there is a special unit to guard the king that are not circassian guards, this unit was with the king when he got shot shows you how Arabs work against each other for stupid reasons instead of uniting.
@Ala abdel alwahab I don't see how the guards are at fault, it's the decision of the king not the guards they just do the protecting portion IF he was in the royal Castle-throne...
@Ala abdel alwahab also it is better to have someone come over and rule you, because tribalism is bad you'll never see justice if one tribe rules all the other tribes, but if someone else came and ruled over he won't be biased, look at Lybia for example it is split into two countries Haftar and tribalism, everyday we hear about a boy killed in name of a tribe and the other tribe starts shooting another tribe and it becomes a civil war. Look at our tribal law in Jordan if someone from a tribe kills another guy from a tribe the law can't do anything and it's for the tribe to decide and usually the wasted life is forgotten with a big meeting and mansaf....
@Ala abdel alwahab actually it always ends in جاهة and some mansaf instead of doing what God said an eye for an eye, a life for a life.
Circassians and other caucasians were not settled in Jordan by their own will. They took refugee in Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman government settled some of them today’s Jordan because Bedouins were reluctant to settled down as sedentary people. City of Amman built for them. Also Ottomans settled them almost all provinces of Empire. Today 1 million Circassians live in Turkey.
next time raise the volume little bit
Being Christian isn’t a separate identity from being ethnically Palestinian, Bedouin Jordanian, Assyrian, Syrian, Iraqi, Lebanese, Armenian.
Amongst Arab citizens, Ethnic Jordanians constitute 29-35% of the Arab population.
Why do you say Bedouin Jordanian , not all Jordanians are Bedouins
The statement "the majority of Jordanians were originally Bedouin", is factually incorrect. In 1948 before the influx of the first wave of Palestinian refugees, the majority of the population east of the River Jordan where Fellahin. They were landowners or land workers who lived in the villages of Hauran, Ajlun, Balga and Moab.
There are political reasons for why the ruling regime advocates the non-factual piece of propaganda that the majority were Bedouins. But I don't want to get into that because it's too long of a topic.
Salam!
True but the nomads are the backbone of Jordan. Also during the ottoman times there was a very aggressive movement of settling of the nomads in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine ie Al sham or greater Syria. The nomads were a headache for the ottomans so they tried very hard to settle them and only found success after a sever drought hit Al sham. Furthermore after settling them the ottomans tried to dissolve the population by settling with them Greeks, jews and other ethnicities from around the empire. As for the falaheen that life is considered semi nomadic as opposed to urban centers which of course existed as well and I don't deny a bit of probaganda but not to the extent you might think.
@@morningmidnight9398
Your assertions are not correct. The Fellahin are descendants of Aramaic speaking populations that were Arabized during the centuries after the Arab conquest and occupation of the Levant. It is true that some Bedouins were semi nomadic like Bani Hasan, but they remained a minority relative to Fellahin population. I don't know where you got the "greek" and "Jew" story from, it is simply not true.
Whats the reason if you dont mind sharing it
@@enusayr fellahin are not Aramaic speakers what are you on about?
@@enusayr get your facts right they’re Egyptian.... before telling others who’s Arab and not.
I'm durze from jordan and that's true there aren't reliable sources in The Internet .
If you want to know more about druze ,you should visit our village such as Azraq in Zarqa and om aloqetin in Mafraq .
We have our special traditions ❗💛
May I ask what does the druze refer to in terms of rules of life? Is it the holy Quran?
Sizeable Circassian community in Jerash as well.
Jordan is a valuable country for different cultures and values.
Please don't change your mind :)
