Im Uzbek from Qarluq(karluk) turkic branch and Gagauz really sounds like how Turkish people speak.

Never stop uploading, your content is the best on CZcams. I appreciate your dedication towards obscure, and under-recognized languages so much. You've taught me about Languages I didn't even know existed, and I think that is beautiful. Your viewer base may be small, but I can say with certainty that we love you, and we love your content!
That is honestly amazing to hear, thank you so very much!
I’m from Uzbekistan

Side note. You mentioned the relationship of the Gagauz language to Tatar and Bashkir. The neighbouring Chuvash are of the same Turkic sub-branch, and like the Gagauz they are also Eastern Orthodox. Cheers.
incorrect. chuvash is a completely separate branch of Turkic languages which has no other living language other than chuvash. some believe that the hunnic languages also belonged to that branch before they became extinct.
Not really. The old Bulgars spoke a language in the same branch as Chuvash - perhaps that is the reason for the confusion. But that language died out as the Bulgars were slavicised.
Hello from japan 🇯🇵🇹🇷
We have a conversation with a Gagauz teacher on our channel, you can get interesting information. There is also a Gagauz Basic phrases video. We will be glad to see you. There are also subtitles in English.
Thank you for covering my people. I was born in Moldova, my family immigrated to the United States when I was 11 years old. Right now in my thirties, I'm trying to salvage any memory of the language I heard in my childhood.

Gagauz means Oghuz, Oghuz tribes of Turks. We Azerbaijan Turks can understand completely the Gagauz Turks, we are one❤️
I’m not Oghuz but i still understand almost everything

Gagauz mean Keykavus or Keykaus 2 a Selchuk leader who move to dobruca with much turkmens or yoruks.the byzantine emperor gives to him this territory. Keykaus accept the christianiti and he with his son recive the baptism and after his dead many of the turkmens who follow him accept the christianity and adopted his name Gagaus tgat mean keykaus just tipical for many turkmens change the k for g. This is the reason why they speak a anatolian turkish centuries befor the otoman invasion of balkans
There are Tatars and Crimean Tatars who have distinct Turkic languages. So as Gagauz people speak an Oghuz language, the name "Old Bulgar" is probably misleading, they are probably not Kipchak or Kuman as they claim. Today, only one Bulgar/Oghur language spoken is Chuvash language. Other weird thing is that, it seems like Gagauz and Turkish language is splitted only some centuries ago.
By the way, there was Karamanli people on central Anatolia who used to speak Turkish but have Orthodox Christian religion. They have a kind of exiled to Greece during the population exchange between Greeks and Turks.
Seläm! Bän lafederim Gagauzça. Some Bulgar didn't settle down in Budjak region. Gagauz people were brought to Budjak by Russians from the Deliorman-Dobruja region after the Ottoman-Russian war. Also, the Muslim Gagauz population was sent to Anatolia. Before the Ottoman-Russian war, there was no Gagauz in the Budjak region.
Ben Türkiye Türk’ü olarak Gagauzcayı çok iyi anlıyorum.
The muslim gagaus dont call them self gagaus and much of them never hear the worth gagaus.
Great content! As a Turk, I really appreciate your effort on scrutinizing niche cultures and languages. Very informative.
Btw, the word Gagauz (Gökoğuz) means Blue Oghuz or Oghuz of the Skies. Theu belong to Oghuz branch of the Turkic tribes, just like the Turks of Turkey. That’s probably why our languages are mutually intelligible.
Similar situation with Uigurs. (Uygur, Uygar means “civilized” and surprisingly intelligible to Turkish speakers. More than Kazakh, Kyrgyz or Uzbek.
It wasn't so much that they converted. So this weird thing happened where the Russians forcefully deported and ethnically cleansed the Tatars and Nogai Tatars that lived in what is now Gagauzia. Then replaced the Turkic people that they had forcefully deported with Christian people.. that were also Turkic..
Fascinating history. I wonder how many Gagauz see themselves as Turks. I know for a fact some do. But i imagine some might also actually not like being called Turks due to associating it with Islam or neighboring people using Turk more as a slur or just a general word fot Muslim. I imagine it also made them much easier to assimilate. I find it fascinating they even managed to keep their language.
Meanwhile Crimean Karaites (practice a form of Judaism) are extremely proud of their Turkic origin
Your channel is a real delight and I love this project! I found it via the Cornish or Breton video and binge-watched the rest :) Many thanks!

As a linguist, did you also notice that even Balkan Turkish dialect is recorded as a separate language, it also has a ridiculous name "Balkan Gagauz language", it is NOT the Gagauz language but they made it to show like "hey this Balkan Turkish is not actually Turkish but it is a dialect of Gagauz, not Turkish!" :) You know why it is called a separate language :) POLITICS. Even Azerbaijani Turkish doesn't really sound like another language for any Turkish speaker. Even coining the term "Turkic" instead of "Turkish" is also about politics. Turkish is not the name of Anatolian Turks actually. There are Britannica records that many Turkic peoples/values mentioned as "Turkish" rather than Turkic since the original term for all Turks around the world was Turkish, so that what causes all of this mess. The term Turkic was invented around 1900s and it was not actively used until 1960s-70s. Anatolian Turkish still uses the term Türk for both Turkish and Turkic, so it is "Turkish" for all or "Turkic" for all for Anatolian Turks, how to distinguish then? It is easy, we call Anatolian Turkic, Azerbaijani Turkic etc so it goes like Crimean Turkic, Balkan Turkic, you can now exchange Turkic with Turkish, it goes the same way, so we use Türk only, some tried to coin an equal term to English term "Turkic", namely "Türki" (it means "Turkish/Turkic" both in Persian and Arabic), but they are not even aware that even in the late Ottoman era, the term "Türki" meant literally "Turkish" or "Turkic", so both :D But it was ignored or even refused by such strong scholars like Taşağıl, Ortaylı, Karatay etc. since they knew that the coining the term Turkic in English was a political trick. So it is so simple. To avoid calling them Turkish instead of Turkic, they named it "Balkan Gagauz" and "Gagauz" languages. To show like "look! they are not Turkish!". People generally also forget that Crimean Tatar is also same-like language for Turkish, it is as close as Azerbaijani for Anatolian Turks. In the political arena, intellectual politicians of Turkiye don't call Azerbaijani language "Azeri" or they call it Crimean Türk (Turkic/Turkish) or Balkan Türk (Turkic/Turkish). For example, the intelligibility towards Crimean Turkic/Turkish from Kazan Tatars is around the same level that the intelligibility percentage towards Anatolian or Azerbaijani or Balkan Turkic/Turkish.
12:30 it's literally bulgarian turkish dialect. 100%
I understood %100 as a native turkish speaker. It sounds like bulgarian turkish.

I definitely will soon, unfortunately life is a bit complicated at the moment and I don’t have much free time. But I love making these videos, and comments like yours are the reason I want to keep going. Thank you so very much for your support!
Gagauz is Balkan Turkish Language 🈴
as a pure gaguze i can say that there are actually a lot of words in gaguze that are different in turkish . turkish has a lot of words that have more syllables such as the word thank you. in turish it it Teşekkürler or Teşekkür ederim. in gaguze its just şekkür ederim or in both labguages for short just sau. in pure gagauze dialect we dont have words for a lot of things so we either use russian or turkish fillers depending on your roots or village where your family grew up. we grew up in Chadir-lunga so we speak both russian and gaguze therfore some of our filler words are in russian.
@ceasers excuse me, but how am i supposed to control what i was taught. russian is just a language. i am very well aware of how russia was toawrds us, especially since we are christian. i would much appreciate if you dont attack me for the languages i was raised to speak. We speak both languages because the soviet union had control and everyone at the time was forced to know how to speak Russian. Russian is very useful especially in europe because a lot of it was controlled my russia. even tho it was an enemy, the language barrier between some european countries became smaller. dont attack people for there country and language history.

Amazing work! Can you please make a video about tamazight, a berber language? This language is dying by the time but people need to know it's still spoken
Hello, my grandmother is Gacal.
There are Gacals who live in East Thrace. They speak a Turkish that so much close to Gagauz language.
They put verb first to sentence too in traditional speaking way.
Also they use "be" as question edition. For example:
Gitti mi be? (Did he go?)
(Yes we use "mı/mi" and "be" together. Personally if i dont use "be" in a question i dont feel like i asked a question in traditional speaking way.)
I think Gacal/Gagauz language is Dialect of Rumeli(Balkan) Turkish.
10-11-12 yüzyillarda balkanlarda gelen Peçenekler Kumanlar Kipçaklar Oguzlar + iran iraktan gelen Türkmenler ( müslüman oguzlar ) = Yörükler. Osmanli zamanlarda bu yörükler gene balkanlarda deliormanda dobrucada ukraniada bile yerlesiyor .
Great video! I am currently learning Turkish and Gagauz is very high up on my to-learn list. But the problem is, there's nearly no resources online whatsoever to learn it.
gagauz is barely taught anywhere so if it is on your to do list i recommend you learn now to speak Russian first because there is not a single gaguze who doesn't know Russian. we come from small villages only in moldova so its a very tight knit language with the people who live there. once you got Russian down i recommend you go visit Moldova and go to chadir lunga its one of the lesser parts that are in poverty where you can gain books and talk to the native villagers there. overall great experience for first timers .
@@em_luv9170 It's a shame honestly. Kinda hope Gagauz focus more on their own language like all the former Soviet nations are doing and rediscover their identity. You can literally get in trouble for speaking Russian in countries like Georgia even despite the large Russian migrations and people living there, even though everyone speaks it. No one wants to.
Central Asian Turkic nations are even dropping the use of Cyrillic completely stepping over to Latin alphabet, adopting the Turkish version with Ş(sh), Ç(ch) etc
Honestly wouldn't surprise me if even Ukraine drops Cyrillic completely and steps over on the Latin Alphabet after this war especially
EDIT: I had no idea that Gagauz was already changed to Latin Alphabet modelled after the Turkish one. Life and learn I guess lol
It is 99 percent similar to turkish, you don't need to specifically learn Gagauz because after you learn gaguz you would be able to understand gagauz without any problem
They teach Gagauz lessons in schools in Gagauzia, and there are textbook for those lessons. So if you go to Comrat, you could probably buy those school textbooks. Or, if you already know Turkish (which is really similar to Gagauz) you can then just buy Gagauz literature books in Comrat and just read those to get a feel for the differences.
I understand 100% bcs I am gagauz

I suggest you to make a video about greek languages in south Italy, "Calabrian grecanic" and "Apulian Griko ", remain of byzantin era or since roman period?
as a native Turkish speaker learning Russian, resimci-"resimciyka" sounds so trippy to me. fascinating combination
I get the sense that many linguists tend to also be very interested in politics (Chomsky is the obvious example), why do you think that may be? I get the impression that laypeople become interested in foreign languages only when they’re topical (like Dari, Ukrainian, Korean) as of late. Do you think that the field of linguistics draws in a naturally politically-passionate crowd, or does learning language cause a greater global awareness? Or does this pattern not exist?
Nice video
There is no such thing as Moldovan language. "Moldovan" language was invented by the soviet bolsheviks, who wanted to break the ties of the Romanians in Bessarabia with the Romanians in actual-day Romania. Moldovan is Romanian written in Cyrillic alphabet and some words from Russian and Ukrainian. As a conclusion: "Moldovan language" is just the Romanian language with the moldavian accent.
Of course.
You should mention that as Orthodox Christians they (the Gagauz) call their god "Allaa" like other Muslim Turkic peoples who call it both "Alla" or "Allah" :D It shows that they were Muslims until a recent era, so they were probably PROBABLY (NO OFFENSE) "forcefully" converted to Orthodox Christianity by Russian effort to Christianize recently acquired lands (from the Ottomans). But they were recorded as "Hasli Bulgar" in Turkish annals/chronicles around the region that's true. Other than Allaa, as in the article you read in Gagauz in the ending part of the video, there are other Perso-Arabic loanwords in Gagauz, just as same as Ottoman/Istanbul Turkish (which today Anatolian Turks use as their standard language even though there are more than 7-8 main dialects which are really distinct from Istanbul Turkish, so any foreign speaker who knows Turkish, i.e. Istanbul Turkish, standard Turkish, they could not understand other dialects, like even 10%, for real), Istanbul's royal Ottoman language by the way, based on a Balkan variety/dialect of Old Anatolian Turkish dialects.
From what I had read, the Gagauz are once thought to be Christian Turkic people perhaps from Anatolia either fled or expelled by the Muslim Turks. However genetic tests had shown that they are genetically indistinguishable from their surrounding Slavic speaking neighbors while are genetically distinct from other Turkic speaking peoples. This meant that the Gagauz are perhaps formerly a Slavic speaking people before going through linguistic change to a Turkic language.
Keykavus or Keykaus 2 from Selchuk empire move to Dobruja region in Bizantine times. The Bizantine emperor give to him a Dobruca region. This Keykaus embraced the christianity he recive the baptism and his sons too. The turkmens or yoruks who follow him after his dead accept the cristianity too and adopted the name of Gagaus this mean Keykaus its very tipical for turkmens change the K for G for example kiz - giz, kardes - gardes... And anather tradition for turkic people was the change of his tribes names like the turkmens who adopted the name of Osman the Ottomans or oghuz who adopted the name of Selçuk etc
So Gagaus come from Keykaus they are a turkmens or yoruks and the adopted the Christian religion because the lidear of them was Christian and for that reason they speak a anatolian turkish 200 years before the ottoman invasion of balkans
Yes, Turkic speaker on Balkanians (Bosnia, bulgaria, Macedonia ) speaks very similar accented to Gagauz.
Balkanian Turkish is a dialect. If they publish a media they still do it on Türkiye Turkish alphabet and grammer.
GökOğuz Gagauz accepted as a different language because
1) They have a minorty country.
2) Alphabet is different.
3) Vocabulary has more Romance and Ukranien Russian words.
4) Gagauzians are Christian.
Bvlgars arrive from north of the black sea. Tatars, Başkurts also.
The way Ottomanic Turkic Balkanian people and Gagavuzs speaks are so similar so I think Gagavuzs move north from Balkans and before it probably from Anatolia.
If they used Greek Alhabet than they may be the immigrant from Anatolia to Thessaloniki and then north during Ottoman.
If Gagauzs arrived todays land from north of the Hazar and Black Sea than their language would not a Oghuz language.
Google Translate has not Gagauz.
take a script from ana sözü and paste it to google translate.
It may ask you the script is in Turkish, Azerbaycan, Türkmen but still translate is very well to Anatolia Turkish.
Gagauzia is very similar to Kırcali in Bulgaria.
thanks
bulgars are ancient turkic people do not confuse with modern day bulgarians
Can you do balkan gagauz
Love your shirt.ku e ke blerë?
Im from bulgaria and have heard the gagauz being referred to as "turkish speaking bulgarians" which may be becouse bulgar and bulgarian are the same word, but some people have told me they have Bulgarian like cultural aspects, though that may be due to the fact there are Bulgarians in the area, either way its interesting. Love your videos btw
@ceasers no one stole anything, modern bulgarians are just assimilated bulgars, slavs and other balkan people (thracians and such), the name just stuck
Some people here disagree with the turkic thing cuz of history involving the ottomans but id like to believe its true :shrug:
Plus the chuvash people and language is pretty based
@ceasers learn english before telling me to learn history, damn ultranationalist
@ceasers Otto-man-s, clearly they were germans :troll:

In reality, the Gagauzes came from Turkey during the Ataman Empire and were sent by the Turkish authorities to hold the lands
During the Seljuk enpire. Keykaus 2 and they adopted his name.
the Seljuk Türks 🤖
Not at all. The turkish from Ruse city in the nort of bulgaria speak a different. Gagauz is like gideriz geleriz yaperiz bakeriz . In ruse they say gidooruz gelooruz yapooruz bakoorus. In ruse rurkish say for mother Nine and for grandmother Anne for grandfather Abba.... So there is not the samr. But in the rest of borth bulgaria and in macedonia bosnia nad the rest of balkans they speak the same gagauz
13:55 i speak gagauzian but we dont say skemlä we say äskämbä
Old Bulgars are fare fetched.
They are either Gök Oguz/Uz or simple just called after a Selcuk leader Keykavuz. Bulgar Turkish is more different. Gaguz speak a mix of oguz and kipcak.
Keykavuz 2 learn about him and you undursten who are the gagaus people
Gagauz and bulgar turkish are the same diyalect

Русский подерживается потому что Гагаузия как приднестровье. Точка давления и раздробления в российской политике.
The theory I think makes most sense for their origin is that they were the remaining "unassimilated" Bulgars from Bulgaria. By that, I mean the ones who continued speaking their old language and living a migratory lifestyle (though they also converted to Orthodoxy). Considering their historic endonyms ("True Bulgarians" and "Old Bulgarians"), the fact they genetically cluster closest to Bulgarians and Macedonians (who were Bulgarians and considered themselves as such until they began diverging in terms of identity a bit over a century ago), and that they were involved in Bulgarian nationalism around 1870.
p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷ 🙂
They were settled in Moldova by the Russian empire , imported from Bulgaria , so it makes sense they are Old Bulgars , explains why they are christian , they were in Bulgaria way before the muslim turks invaded the balkans , 1355.
Such a Bullshit 😂😂😂😂 BULGARS are turks. They lost theier identity. And turks came to Balkan even bevor 1300. How old are you😂😂😂
Turks were mostlx Christian bevor Ottoman.. Such an idiotic comment 😂😂😂
@@alibaba-wl8jb Look into the history of the Bulgars , they were a turkik people that occupied much of what is today Bulgaria around 684 AD , they addopted christianity soon and most of them were absorbed by the slavic subjects and lost their turkik language and pagan religion. Much much later , muslim turks from Anatolia founded the ottoman dinasty and encountered these strange christian turks calling themselves old bulgars , makes perfect sense. Do your research before you insult , shows your own intelect...
I feel like Gagauz are similar to the Urum speaking people of Ukraine and Georgia. Their language is just too similiar to the modern turkish even the word father "Boba" which is an arabic word is present, if they were a ancient turkic tribe they would have used "Ata" instead. So I believe they are turkified moldovans or ukrainians who kept their religious practices, their position in fringes of Ottoman empire borders also proves that IMO.
Actually "Boba/Baba" is a Turkic word, but there are Arabic words used by Gagauz people, for example, they call deity "Allah" not "Tanrı".
Baba or boba* is Perisian… mostly Perisian men marrige by Turkic women:)

It’s so weird that Gagauz is technically a language derived from Bulgars yet it belongs to Oghuz branch. Why is that?
Because Gagauz is turkic nation 🆗
To be honest the Turkic classification system is weird. Gagauz is mostly Oghuz but with strong Kypchak (Kazakh etc.) influence. Not sure about Oghur
Bulgars were Turkic. They spoke Oğur Turkic. But later adopted different forms of Turkic. Eg Tatars adopted Kıpçak I believe due to Khazar influence. Meanwhile Chivash kept Oğur but it changed drastically due to Finno Uguric influences.
The Gagauz have adopted Oghuz and over centuries Ottoman influence and neighboring Oghuz Turk influence made their langaug3 Oghuz I imagine. It's also why it sounds so extremely close to Anatolian and Balkan Turkish. Even words that some Turks might never have heard off. Like the word 'bıldır' which means last year. Is actually a word that just fell out of fashion in Turkey etc but was once used widespread. Eg my grandmother will regularly use the word bıldır but in another gagau video i remember some Turkish people wondering what the word meant while some others explained the meaning
