The Yakut language, also known as Sakha, is a Turkic language spoken primarily in the Sakha Republic of Russia. It is the official language of the region and is used by the Yakut people, who have a rich cultural heritage. The language has unique phonetic features and a vocabulary influenced by the surrounding languages, including Russian. Yakut is written using the Cyrillic script, adapted to accommodate specific sounds in the language. It has a complex system of vowel harmony and agglutination, which allows for the formation of long words by adding various suffixes. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote the language among younger generations.
