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)?
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:
- You can't speak your mother language
- You can't use google translator or anything like that.
- You can't be disrespectful
- You can't speak a Turkic language that you already know
Like depending on the sound when it's spoken or in songs etc.
(It doesn't have to be a Turkic language from Central Asia)

Let me know if there is a mistake, So I can edit guys. By the way, I don't know if there is anything missing. I can add if there is a Turkic language you want to say.
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.
