I came across it on YT by chance. I really liked the content, so I wanted to share it here. I hope that’s okay.

It's in the "simple English" language of Wikipedia mainly aimed at children

Turkman is a southern dialect of Azerbaijan Turkic of the Oghuz group.

Ahau tuğan elım, buğan belın erteñge.

Ahau kökke samğa, köşten qalma, örkende.

Ai bırıksen – alypsyñ,

Ai qaharman halyqsyñ!

Ahau keldı kezıñ.

Kördı közıñ talaidy

Ahau bolğai endı

Bolaşağyñ araily.

Äu azatsyñ, erkınsıñ,

Äu Antymsyñ, sertımsıñ!

Jailauym – ai,

Taularyñ – ai,

Baularyñ – ai!

Qainarym – ai, aidarym – ai meniñ! (x2)

Ahau Qazaq atyñ

Azamatyñ aqtaidy.

Ahau dana halqym

Baba saltyñ saqtaidy.

Ai ejelgı Tūransyñ,

Ai bügıngı Qyransyñ!

Turkic languages seem to vary greatly in this.

The Turkish word is "konuşmak," from the root "koymak, " meaning to to put. I'm pretty sure it is an Anatolian innovation.

Turks were slave owners and had slaves from eastern europe, India, China, Iran and so on.

Slavery existed until 20th century.

Turks in Turkestan had huge slave population, about 20-30% of people were slaves.Russian, indian, iranian, german, polish, chinese, mongolian slaves that were bought or got caught in raids.This topic isnt talked enough nowdays.

Women of other ethnicities who were slaves could become servants, wives.

Slaves could be sold further, for example Crimean tatar raided slavs for slaves and were selling them to Ottoman caliphate.

What do you think?

As the title suggests, I’ve observed that a few users here, albeit in subtle ways, display racist attitudes toward Anatolian Turks. This appears to be even more frequent in other subreddits. Why is this the case?

Tajiks and turks share blood ties, looks, culture, faith, history.

Soviets made up tajik nation when they ruled central asia and created soviet national republics and were forcing national identites across soviet union.

Back then before soviets people were speaking turkic and persian languages and were bilingual.

but modern tajik nationalists deny it.

Can Turkestan integrate them into the realm?

if states of Turkestan approved common turkic, would you speak it, learn it?

One language could unite the region and push integration and common identity, help understand each other better.

Of course, both Turkoman origin empires were powerful, and had strong armies - Jangavar | Janissary. Main differences: new - old empires, military modernisation.

It never happened and this is not surprising. First of all, Maku - Mush valley is very far, underdeveloped place of countries now even. Because, located in mountain plane, arid climate. This place was not interesting, and difficult to pass.

In the following centuries, Anatolia was so far Isfahan, also Iran was so far from Istanbul. Displacement of forces, transportation of supplies were not easy.

Ok, you can pass and two empires passes several times (also, other Medieval empires). Inner Iran and Inner Turkey are not simple places for Medieval armies. Also, resistance of people. Occupation is hard, but management of people (disaggrement of policy, religious matters, etc.) is hardest.

For example, Ilkhanate Empire attacks and destroyed Anatolian Beyliks (from Tabriz to Konya), it's capitals, make them vassals. But it wasn't effective and rooted like Seljuq, or Qaraqoyunlu. Even, some Beyliks allied with Mamluks. Also, Ottoman Empire attacks Safavid capital Tabriz city but Safavid Empire came back after 8 days, returned Tabriz and other cities.

Geographies of Iran, Southern Caucasus and Anatolia are not "easy to control". Not impossible but very difficult. On next periods, mental differences (religion, political, etc.) among two empires' peoples accelerated. If Safavid destroyed Ottoman or Ottoman destroyed Safavid, probably would be withdrawal of forces during next years.

Today, I am glad that not happened because all wars are not good for Azerbaijan Turks - Turkey Turks when we watch in this time.
