Armenians claim that dolma is a traditional Armenian dish. The question of what is "dolma" causes them to experience the fatal error. "Dolma" is common for several Turkic languages and comes from the Turkic verb "doldurmaq" with the meaning "to fill". Learn it carefully, you idiots. v.redd.it/6zj7izv6hax51

The Sun Language Theory suggests that all languages are the descendants of a common Turkic ancestor - What are the details of this theory and what "evidence" did they use to justify it?

Also, is it true that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk gave the theory not only official backing, but monetary and public support? Maybe this delves more into a historical question, but if so, why?

"Turkic" or "Turko-Chuvash" Languages. What are your opinions?

I acknowledged that some linguists prefer to call the language family "Turko-Chuvash" instead of "Turkic" because Chuvash is really distant from the other languages in the family. What do you think? Should it be "Turko-Chuvash" (maybe Chuvash-Turkic) or "Turkic" languages?

In my opinion, naming does not actually matter, it's just a small detail. But I have to know more about Chuvash people's history and language to have a strict opinion on this topic. But I'd be okay with both names.

Especially to Chuvash people, do you consider yourself Turkic or related to Turkic (like a cousin)?

Let's make a game here: Turkic speakers trying to speak other Turkic languages (stolen from r/asklatinamerica)

Read the discription***

The idea is that Turkic speakers can only speak other Turkic languages, only using words they know and you have to carry on a conversation just using that (you can chat whatever you want).

The goal is to talk for a longer time without a misunderstanding

In case you don't know enough words, you can invent/guess to make it more "similar".

Rules:

  1. You can't speak your mother language
  2. You can't use google translator or anything like that.
  3. You can't be disrespectful
  4. You can't speak a Turkic language that you already know

Is it common for Turkic people to name their children after nature elements?

Ok, first of all I would like to apologize if this question is not convenient. I also apologize in advance because my knowledge regarding Central Asia is yet too shallow, even though I've been looking for some books lately. So, if I sound disrespectful in any way, please know that it was not my intention.

I've been into folk music from Central Asia for some years, but only now I was curious to actually understand some of the native languages. There is a song from Altai Kai that I love, named Kara Suu (Кара-суу, I think). I know that it means black water, but it sounds so beautiful to me that I was wondering if that could be used as a female name (I do not plan to name a child based on that, it is only curiosity).

On YouTube I asked if Kara/Kara Suu could be a person's name (even if it's not usual) and a person answered me; he/she told me that Oğuz dialect was his/her native language and that, yes, it might be used as a female name, and that many people name their children nature elements, something common "in Turkey and other parts of Turkistan".

So, I would like to ask you if this is really common among Turkic people or if it doesn't make sense (or if it would actually sound stupid) naming people based on nature/the environment/animals etc.

Thank you in advance!

The Mughals and the Ottomans both spoke a Turkic language and we're both Islamic. Did they ever bond over common language and culture?

The first emperor of the Mughal Dynasty was Babur who spoke Chagatai Turkic. Since the Turkic languages spread very quickly to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, parts of Itan, Turkmenistan, and turkey, they all retained a lot of cohesion and mutual intelligibility.

So did the ottomans and the Mughals keep correspondence? What about other Turkic rulers of Afghanistan, like Ghazni, Ghouri, or Nader Shah (from Iran but Turkic linguistically)?

Why is there an island of Uralic/Turkic languages in the middle of the Russian heartland?

Looking at a linguistic map of Russia, a cluster of languages can be clearly spotted concentrated around Tatarstan, with Tatars, Bashkirs, Udmurts, Mari, Chuvash and Mordvins all living in close proximity surrounded by a sea of Russian speakers. My question isn't why they exist, as much as why/how they all managed to survive together in that specific area.
