Siberian Turkic Languages
The Siberian Turkic languages are a branch of the Turkic language family spoken primarily in Siberia, Russia. This group includes languages such as Yakut, Tuvan, and Khakas. These languages are characterized by vowel harmony and agglutination, which means they use prefixes and suffixes to modify words.
These languages are primarily spoken by indigenous peoples in the region, and they reflect the rich cultural heritage of Siberia. Many Siberian Turkic languages are endangered due to declining numbers of speakers and the influence of dominant languages like Russian. Efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize these unique languages.
