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 complex system of vowel harmony. Yakut is written using the Cyrillic script, adapted to accommodate specific sounds in the language. It has a significant number of loanwords from Russian and Evenki, reflecting historical interactions. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote the language among younger generations.
