Native speaker of Kazakh language (Kipchak language) here! 🇰🇿 Greetings from Kazakhstan! I didn't really understand Khalaj language. Urum and Kumuk language are closer to Kazakh. I understood like 60% of Kumuk language as it was written, tho more general words, I'd probably be able to understand less of it in speech, since Kazakh phonology is quite unique compared to other Turkic languages, it has a couple of weird sound shifts. That google translate did a decent job, I think, at least, general meaning is there, tho distorted. Anyway, thank you Che for a great video again!

​​​​@@DoraEmon-xf8br If you know Kazakh and Turkish, you will also know the third language- this is the Kumyk language. Since the Kazakh language is the Kipchaks- Cumans and the Turkish language is the Oguzes.. And the Kumyk language is Kipchak- Kuman with Oguz. The Kumyks are the descendants of the Huns, Khazars, Kipchaks- Kumans, Oguzes..

I didn't know this, fair enough!

Although the Khalajs were a large, militarily superior and very important ethnic group in history, they are only 20.000 people today. They established many empires and kingdoms in history Turk Shahi which defeated Abbasids, Zunbils, Khaljis of Bengal which was responsible to Bengalis being Muslims today, Khaljis of Delhi which was also a short lived important empire that defeated Mongol armies many times and conquered vast majority of Indian subcontinent, and Khaljis of Malwa which defeated Rajput warriors many times. In addition very famous and one of the greatest Islamic general Alauddin Khalji got his surname from this tribe.

@@CheLanguages According to historical documents, the Khalajs were divided and joined into tribal confederations of Pashtuns, Persians and Indians, which were much more numerous than themselves, and forgot their language. It is known with certainty that they formed the core of the largest Pashtun tribe, the Ghilzai, and gave their own name to this tribe. Some of Khalaj people got assimilated into Oghuz Turks also, there are many Khalaj villages in Azerbaijan and Turkiye although they don’t speak Khalaj anymore.

Actually those people are turkish in origin but are christians also there are pontus greek people who speak Romeika, an ancient greek dialect. Kıpcaks are those branch of Turkic tribes who are of Christian confession hence they speak a proto Turkish language with some different words, since Ottoman empire classified people and nations not by their language but by their religion, who is not muslim is Rum or Urum and this led to confusion as if these Christians are Greek

I find Urum's Greek script interesting as it's spelled as "Υρυμ" which is weird to see as a Greek as the Υυ makes an Ii sound, Furthermore I find it fascinating that the Urums, the Pontic Greeks and the Greeks that lived in Asia Minor before the Smyrna Catastrophe (which my great-grandfather was from Smyrna and they use to call themselves "Romius", basically Roman). I also wanna mention that these are Greeks, that speak Turkish that live in Ukraine which is super interesting

They actually speak medieval Kipchak language which was remnant of Golden Horde not Turkish. Also, the more interesting part of this is that Crimean Tatar language became Oghuzified under Ottoman rule whereas Urum did not.

I have no idea, but the Khalaj people appear to have had an interesting history and they used to be much more widespread. It will have something to do with their past

Kumyk had been a lingua-franca of the bigger part of the Northern Caucasus, from Dagestan to Kabarda, until the 1930s[11][12][13] and was an official language of communication between the North-Eastern Caucasian nations and the Russian administration.[14] In 1848, a professor of the "Caucasian Tatar" (Kumyk) Timofey Makarov published the first ever grammatical book in Russian language for one of the Northern Caucasian languages, which was international Kumyk. Makarov wrote:[15] From the peoples speaking Tatar language I liked the most Kumyks, as for their language's distinction and precision, so for their closeness to the European civilization, but most importantly, I take in account that they live on the Left Flank of the Caucasian Front, where we're conducting military actions, and where all the peoples, apart from their own language, speak also Kumyk.

Dude when you were talking about the Decline of the Pontic Greek you said that the Pontic Genocide was the biggest reason, but when you are talking about the Decline of Kumyk from the Lingua Franca of the Northern Caucasus to just a Language of the region as "but today the reverse is true" as if Russians Genociding Circassians and killing almost half of Vainakh and Dagestani peoples during their Caucasian War before Soviets under Stalin and his deportations that killed between 30% to 50% of many peoples of this region didnt had any effects for the triumph of Russian in the region to begin with? Either you mentioning such heavy topics in your "Three Forgotten Hellenic Languages" left a bad taste in you for what was supposed to be a linguistic video so you decided not to bring it up something similar a second time or your resources didnt find it neccesery to bring it up and thus you didnt know. Either case i wouldnt blame you but still at least you could have mentioned Forced Russification of the Caucasus without entering details, even this would have been enough.
