Interesting link. Ideed I find Uzbek to be a very exciting language. After Turkish and Azeri it is the third largest in its family. It has strong Persian influence (also lost its vowel harmony] and when I listen to it it sounds like Turkish with a thick Persian accent - actually quite pleasant.

Azeri, Turkmen and Turkish are very similar (all Southern Turkic languages). Kazakh is a Western Turkic language while Uyghur and Uzbek are Northern, and all three of these have less of a degree of mutual intelligibility with Turkish.
When I was in Turkey I met someone who had just come out of three years with Peace Corps in Kazakhstan and he was having a very hard time communicating, to the point of not being able to order at a restaurant, even though he was supposedly fluent in Kazakh. I think the language has been influenced quite a bit by Russian but knowing Turkish of course would be a gigantic stepping stone to learning Kazakh. I myself originally became interested in learning Turkish because of my interest in learning Uyghur but after spending a lot of time in Turkey I find that my interests have shifted Westward. :) However I am still interested in learning Uyghur, Kazakh, and other Central Asian languages at some point. -Andrea 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What have you learnt so far? :)
Kazakh is still a language I'd want to learn, but I'm getting a lot of informations about it, because there aren't many resources for it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
