The Karakalpaks are an ethnically diverse Turkic-speaking people who mainly inhabit the isolated delta region of the lower Amu Darya, situated to the south of the Aral Sea. Their exact numbers are unknown but are probably close to 600,000. Their homeland is the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan, formed by the Soviets in 1925. Despite its Autonomous Republic status, Karakalpakstan is effectively little more than just another province within the independent Republic of Uzbekistan, albeit the largest province, accounting for over one third of Uzbekistan's land area. However, most of Karakalpakstan is occupied by barren and inhospitable desert. In the Soviet era its main use was for the production of cotton and the provision of isolated and secret testing sites for chemical and biological weapons. During the past decade or so, sizeable oil and natural gas reserves have been identified under the Ustyurt plateau and the bed of the Aral Sea. The Karakalpaks make up less than a third of the inhabitants of Karakalpakstan, and live alongside large populations of Khivan Uzbeks in the south and Qazaqs in the north, plus some Yomut Turkmen along the western border. The Karakalpaks are one of the poorest ethnic groups within Uzbekistan and they suffer from high unemployment, generally poor living conditions and bad health. In recent decades they have had to contend with the full effects of the desiccation of the Aral Sea and the lower Amu Darya. The desertification of the northern delta has led to an evacuation of its rural population and the growth of the southern urban towns, especially the capital city of Nukus.

Karakalpaklılar ülkesi/diyarı kardeş ülkeniz Türkiye'den selamlar! ❤ Sizi yeni duydum. Özbekistan'ın merkezinde otonom bir bölge. Davut yine güzel bir iş çıkartmışsın! 👏

Woow, Hi from Karakalpakstan. Welcome to our magnificent and unique country. I've never seen such vlogs about Karakalpakstan especially in English. We highly appreciate that. I believe that this vlog could help the world to know our country better. Thank you for visiting and representing!

Could you please explain why there are so many old aunties in the bazaar than any other group of people?

Finally a place that when you say you're from Azerbaijan they don't look at you with confusion lol. Central Asia is very beautiful and unique.

Karakalpakstan is beautiful Republic 😍

I haven't been to Karakalpakstan yet, but your video on Nukus was fascinating! I appreciate the insights into the history and culture of the region. I would love to feature lesser-known destinations on my channel in the future, so Karakalpakstan is definitely on my travel list now. Keep up the great work, and safe travels!

In the USA, what you call the brick bread we call it a loaf of bread. The organ meats are called offal in the English language countries. Great content, David! Really enjoying the different places that not all Travel Tubers go.

This is the first time a video with this title was actually true. I didnt know about this place and I`m visiting Uzbekistan next week.

You are the best traveler I have seen.good job & good luck. be safe in your journey 🇱🇰 ❤

This was a lovely, informative video. Most of us lack knowledge about the history and current status of central asian countries that were occupied by russia. People seem warm, kind and friendly. You were lovely and generous with them as usual 😊.

Good luck Davud 👍🏻

Welcome to Uzbekistan ❤

Nice locton in the world 🌍

I am South African, Jewish, 78, and stumbled by chance onto your videos. I must compliment you. You have a lovely, soft, easy way of communicating and interviewing. Something very rare on KZread. I love watching and seeing all the weird places you go visit. Only Afghanistan upset me at how women and girls are treated worse than animals. Afghanistan itself was very interesting. But I would never go there. Disgusting treatment of women. I look forward to watching many more of your videos. Your insight and easy going manner is wonderful to watch.

Black hat.... Very interesting 🎩

Which camera u use?

9:15 That’s funny. Davud wants to order just one item, the other guy asked if that’s enough for two. Go bro! I like that. You speak up!

Davud 💛

​@@chathurikanirmani2295his mother tongue Azerbaijani Turkic belongs to the Oguz group and is close to Turkish The Uzbek language also belongs to the Turkic language family and is considered a Karalug group and is close to the Uighur language in China. Azerbaijani and Uzbek languages are 70% similar The Karakalpak language belongs to the Kipchak group of the Turkic language family and is close to the Kazakh language

Listen to their news intro you will love forever.. 😅
