Hurtful to see our pamiri brother living their lives under hard condition. . Salam from Pakistani side of pamir. Reminded of the forgotten culture. God bless
I'm Kyrgyz, and I'm from Kyrgyzstan. As for me, my ancestry stayed in Kyrgyzstan under control of Russian Empire. That's why, now I live in Kyrgyzstan. I'm very surprized by this way of living. Probably it must be difficult to live in such conditions. Also, I would like to thank you for your great job there. Actually I've already seen some documental films on this, but I think I've got something new from your video. It was cognitive and interesting so much. Thank you one more time.
MatrixOfDynamism Certainly, we do. Nowadays Islamic faith is the primary religion in our country. But there was a time when we believed in Heaven as mongolian do. Unfortunatelly Islamic faith in country has started being more likely as tool of dirty political games.
I'm from Turkey and I can easily understand what these people say. They are our ethnic brethren. Once again, I saw what a large footprint we had left across Eurasia. Thank you for this video and for your kindness Jeff, you are a good man. What you did for these people means a lot amidst such poverty and hardship.
@Zardasht Spitama FYI; people in Turkey can relate linguistically and culturally with the people of Central Asia because that’s their origin. They migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia (Asia-Minor) some 1000 years ago. They share some vocabulary due to common cultural influences, but the languages are unrelated and very different. Interesting to know that the Modern Persian language’s origins is traced to Bactria. Bactria /ˈbæktriə/ (Bactrian: βαχλο, Bakhlo), or Bactriana, was an ancient region in Central Asia.
@@solohabib7 Turkish and Krgyz both speak Turkic languages...what do you mean there unrelated? lol Also Persian origin isnt in Bactria lol Bactrians speak a East Iranian language related to Scythian and modern Pashto. Persian is a different branch of the iranian language family.
Thank you very much for making this wonderful documentary about this wonderful people. I’m Hazara and I’m so please to see my fellow countryman and women. Afghanistan is a beautiful country with consists of different tribes but some ignorants cause chaos in the country and exclude others. I hope those ignorants will one day come to understanding and stop killing innocent people and let those who look or come from different tribes live free.

HI JEFF....I SALUTE U...BRAVE MAN...HUMLE HELPFUL..I M AN INDIAN FM BOMBAY..I LOVE AFGHANISTAN AND AFGHANS I DONT KNOW WHY..IN SHAA ALLAH ITS MY DREAM TO VISIT THERE
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Cayson Cooper I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I am Turkish and understood most of the conversations in Kirgiz (Kyrgyz). I can definitely understand the subject. I always thought Gagavuz and Azerbaijan dialects are closest especially Gagavuz Turkish is the closest. I was surprised at how much I understood. I think it is closer to Tatar Turkish
This language is not pure Kyrgyz that’s why. It’s a mix of Uzbek and Kyrgyz. They are Kyrgyz who migrated to the pamirs during time of kokand khanate when Uzbeks controlled Kyrgyzstan. Uzbek and Uyghur is easier for Turkish speakers to understand than Kyrgyz. If you listen to modern Kyrgyz music (which has more Russian and pure Kipchak words) it’s very difficult for Turkish speakers to understand.
I am an Korean in mid-50s. I learnt English from young American volunteers from Peace Corp. They have changed my life! I've become an educated professional working internationally. Education works! Heart-warming...
Those are some gorgeous little kids! I cannot believe how diverse our small country is, and I'm loving it! Thanks so much for this and can't wait to see more of you! xx
this is my country Afghanistan I love my brothers and sisters from there I wish to donate all my life to them to improve their lives whish to live amongst them for the rest of my life
This is a tough life, not to be romanticized. The above qualities are essential for the survival of a people in such circumstances. I admire their fortitude.
Thank you so very much dear Jeff Waalkes for making this video and sharing with us ... I am so happy to be able to watch first hand on how these people live in such a remote place plus they are so humble and seem really happy with their environment which they adapt to it with no issues eventhough it is indeed very harsh. Amazing bunch of human beings. And I do pity the poor horse who slipped and hurt himself - he must have been put to death which is not shown or else how can one administer medical aid on the poor horse as he must have twisted or even suffered broken bones with the fall ... God Bless you for really going all out to reach these people, study their daily lives & culture and to share with all of us who do not have the means nor opportunity to visit much as we want to ... I've always been interested in 3rd World Countries and how the people live and its culture. I've had opportunities to travel to Pakistan, Tibet (5x) and Kathmandu (5x) + can say places like Laos, Ladakh surrounds & some parts of India but have never been more fascinated with ppl from Pakistan & Tibet who are lovely, simple people and so rich in their culture.
Thank you, Mr. Jeff! Great job! People like you make the world a better place! I hope all these people in the future will be all the same in Kyrgyzstan.
Resilient people? Hardiest people in the world, I hope they keep their life and traditions. Excellent production Jeff and well done for bringing their story to us all
Jeff, Bu güzel yardımın için tüm kalbimle selamlıyorum seni. Harika bir proje, inanılmaz bir yolculuk, muhteşem insanlar. Bence dünyanın en zengin insanları Wakhan Kırgızları. Pamir dadağlarında 4000 metre yükseklerde yaşayan kırgız kardeşlerimizin konuştuğu dili rahatlıkla anlayabiliyorum. Türkçeye çok yakın , anlaşılır.
As an Afghanistani, who was born in Kabul, Afghanistan and much familiar with its shitty and corrupt government, they won't do anything for these poor people. They're left alone. I'm actually glad our Kyrgyz brothers are aware of their situation and I really hope they can do something for them. Thank you Jeff Waalkes.
I am also from Afghanistan and I am really really thankful to your trip there , if you guys wouldn't go there , how could we know that there are some of people/tribes living in a very remote area for centuries very very far away from other citizens and civilization , I wish I could do something to help them at least to have their electricity and developing their life . I cried for our people who live there . Once again thanks for your time and help to those people in need.
Thank you for your kind words. I am honored to lead our organization's continued work to help these people develop in the areas of education and health care.
Great Great Great Job Mr Jeff Waalkes!!! Thank you for such a kindness!!!! it's so kind of you and touching!!!! This Video actually made me cry because I'm almost from the same place like Afghan Pamir Mountains and I have experienced the same lifestyle there!!! I really really appreciate your JOb!!! Thank you for caring about my people's future! I think we, Kyrgyz people who lives in Kyrgyzstan must learn something from you including Kyrgyz language!!! Thank you for coming all the way from United States and warming our hearts!!!
So i live in Turkey and understood % 95 of Turkish what they using.. you mean Turks shake and turn your own culture like our ancient Khagans always says it..TURN YOURSELF.. ? After long time of Russia and China assimilations..?
Thank you Jeff. I am amazed how well you speak Kyrgyz language. After living in NZ for 20 years for the first time I was feeling nostalgic. I knew about Afghan Kyrgyz, but did not realise they have maintained their language so well. I could understand them very well. I am sad - my children do not speak Kyrgyz - you have put me to shame.
Chinara Sharshenova You should be inspired by Jeff and start teaching Kyrgyz language to your kids!!! The more languages they speak the happier and more intellectual they get. English is never enough, you've got to understand this darling
Hello, Jeff! I just wanted to say how amazing it was of you to go there and help those people. I have to say you speak Kyrgyz language better than I do (even though Kyrgyz is my native language) , and so far, you've done much more for my people than any of the Kyrgyz people I know. You are a man with a big heart! :)

Hi Jeff, I would like to ask, is that Uyghur language you were speaking to them in during the expedition? I can only catch "kanche" word means 'how' Thanks!
Choong Ching Teo they are Kyrgyz, and speak Kyrgyz language, duh! Both Kyrgyz and Uighur just like many other languages are Turkic family of languages, and are therefore, similar. However, since these Kyrgyz lived in isolation for so long, their dialect is a bit different from Kyrgyz that is spoken in Kyrgyzstan (I could still understand them, but their pronunciation differs from ours).

Greetings from Turkey ! I’ d ilke to felicitate you, you speak very good Kyrgyz language like a real Kyrgyz.. in the East of Turkey , there is a village called Ulupamir which was built by kyrgyz immigrants from Pamir mountains/ Afghanistan . Maybe someday you will visite it while The olders , aqsakals, originally from Pamir are still in life ..
Sizdin Kyrgyz or Kazak tiliniz ote jaksy eken. I am very impressed with how well you learned the language because a lot of foreigners struggle to acquire fluency in these languages. Of course, it's is for me as my mother tongue, but I have seen many people quite learning Kazakh because it was too hard for them to learn. Good job and good luck! I wish you success in your future endeavors!
Thank you for what you helped them. You are a very good person. You've become a real hero to me as a person who helps people learned the Kyrgyz language and its traditions. You're simply the best!

Hi Jeff! I enjoyed watching your video. It shows that there are still people who have golden hearts to less privileged. I see how you and ur team and those locals together with the animals had sacrificed in order to reach the tribe.

کمک کتابهای وزارت معارف حکومت افغانستان! برای من این سوال مطرح است که چگونه یک سازمان بیرونی بشکل غیر مستقیم داخل خاک افغانستان گردیده و همان کتاب و قرطاسیه های وزارت معارف را توزیع میکند. کاش قانون ساخته شود تا دیگر هرگز کمک از هیچ کشوری را نپذیریم زیرا پی هر کمک بعضا نیت های مغرضانه موجود میباشد، والله اعلم.
Thank you Jeff for this beautiful video.I'm deeply touched by these amazing people.How can I help these people?Can I adopt someone from there.I wish I could bring all these people to live in my house.
Your documentary is captivating. Our family is enchanted with your work. I find it so interesting to see how people really live in this part of Central Asia. Brilliant. Keep up the talented work. I enjoyed it all. Have you made other films?
We have a couple others - I'll upload one in the next week or so. We did win some funding to begin another film project to document of the people group as well as their relatives who moved to Turkey in 1982.
Thank u so much to making this documentary. Your amazing and thank u sooooo much for helping these guys. I'm pakistani but I'm touched with what u have fine for these guys xxx
Attiii Arghon No, we Hazaras are very Altaic. You're likely one of those Hazaras who are too influenced by Afghan culture to the point you forgot your Altaic lineage. If you think we are not Altaic, then explain why over 90% of our tribe names derive from Altaic languages (Aimaq, Besud, Shibargi, Shibartu, Dai Zangi, Dai Kundi, Dai Chopan, Dai Zenyat, Qazakh, Kalmak, Naiman, Nikpai, Nikudar, Borjigi, Merkit, Jalair, Jaghatu, Jaghur, Uruzgan, Tatar, and so on). Explain why Babur himself recorded in his journal during the early 16th Century that many Hazaras were speaking Mogholi (a Mongoloc dialect with significant Turkic vocabulary). Explain why some Hazaras are born with the blue mark on their back which is also common for Mongolians and Central Asian Turks. And explain why many Hazaras predominantly have the y-chromosome of c-m217 which is also predominant amongst Mongolians and Central Asian Turks. I'd like to see your response on all this. We are very Altaic (Turko-Mongol) and the Afghan government want us to forget that identity by assimilating us into other cultures.
@@Lipton3373 You as a turkic-mongolian shouldn't hate Hazaras so much ... they have suffered a lot by pashtuns and tajiks during the centuries. beside, you can't deny their Mongolic features. That's a fact. Also please don't judge the whole people by doings of the few, who have forgotten their culture and ancestry. some of the youngsters don't know their history and heritage ... they try so hard to blend in, that's why some of them wears zoroaster necklaces

beautiful video, Thanks so much of your!

Greetings from Turkey ! I’ d ilke to felicitate you, you speak very good Kyrgyz language like a real Kyrgyz.. in the East of Turkey , there is a village called Ulupamir which was built by kyrgyz immigrants from Pamir mountains/ Afghanistan . Maybe someday you will visite it while The olders , aqsakals, originally from Pamir are still in life ..
The women's clothes are so beautiful. The whole landscape is magical
the red scarf women are un married and the white ones are married
Nat Guevara Their lifes are so difficult.I hope they will have a better life.
@@chapursoni how do you know it bro?
go theare!
Sizdin Kyrgyz or Kazak tiliniz ote jaksy eken. I am very impressed with how well you learned the language because a lot of foreigners struggle to acquire fluency in these languages. Of course, it's is for me as my mother tongue, but I have seen many people quite learning Kazakh because it was too hard for them to learn. Good job and good luck! I wish you success in your future endeavors!
Its so amazing. Jeff hat's off to your service to humanity, people of far north Afghanistan
A fascinating glimpse into the life and thoughts of the people and their ways. Thankyou.
Thank you very much 👍
Thank you for what you helped them. You are a very good person. You've become a real hero to me as a person who helps people learned the Kyrgyz language and its traditions. You're simply the best!
+Parviz Vafakulov Thank you. My curious language abilities are not perfect but I am glad to be able to speak and understand.

@@JeffWaalkes Азаматсың! Чоң рахмат.
Hi Jeff! I enjoyed watching your video. It shows that there are still people who have golden hearts to less privileged. I see how you and ur team and those locals together with the animals had sacrificed in order to reach the tribe. May God richly bless you and ur team and the organization that continues to help selflessly.
They could do with a wind generator and an electric fence perhaps keep livestock safer....enjoyed seeing a people focused film. Tough tough environment. God bless the people who took the books and care. ✌
Thank you so much Mr Jeff... 👍It is so hard to live on that conditions at this time...
Shame on our government...
I'm a Tajiks Afghanistani 😟
What great video sir where are you travelling these days
thank you Mr. Jeff W
تشکر از کمک تان برای مردم ما مهربان استین
کمک کتابهای وزارت معارف حکومت افغانستان!
برای من این سوال مطرح است که چگونه یک سازمان بیرونی بشکل غیر مستقیم داخل خاک افغانستان گردیده و همان کتاب و قرطاسیه های وزارت معارف را توزیع میکند. کاش قانون ساخته شود تا دیگر هرگز کمک از هیچ کشوری را نپذیریم زیرا پی هر کمک بعضا نیت های مغرضانه موجود میباشد، والله اعلم.
Interesting video!
Thanks for sharing Jeff!
فيديو جميل شكراجزيلا لكم والله يحفظكم ويحميكم ويرعاكم كل التقدير والاحترام للشعب الأفغاني العظيم الكريم الأصيل
Рахмат Джефф. Фильмди коруп ыйлагым келди. Эптеп болсо да Кыргызыстанга кочуп барсанар жакшы болот эле.
Jeff Waalkes сизге рахмат. ушинтип кыйын жолго карабай Ооган кыргыздарынан кабар алып, жардам берип келипсиздер.Аллах ыраазы болсун!
Thank you Jeff for this beautiful video.I'm deeply touched by these amazing people.How can I help these people?Can I adopt someone from there.I wish I could bring all these people to live in my house.

خیلی زیبا بود . انجا که قشنگ فارسی خواند اما متوجه نشد که چی میخواند دلم برایش سوخت خدا حفظشان کند زنده باد پامیری های قرقیز در افغانستان و تاجیکستان
Thanks for uploading. Very hard work for your team. Nice video.
Your documentary is captivating. Our family is enchanted with your work. I find it so interesting to see how people really live in this part of Central Asia. Brilliant. Keep up the talented work. I enjoyed it all. Have you made other films?
We have a couple others - I'll upload one in the next week or so. We did win some funding to begin another film project to document of the people group as well as their relatives who moved to Turkey in 1982.
Thank u so much to making this documentary. Your amazing and thank u sooooo much for helping these guys. I'm pakistani but I'm touched with what u have fine for these guys xxx
Thank you for the great job. there look there culture there life are so similar to our people Hazara in Afghanistan
STFU!
Hazara, Kazakh, Mongol, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Uyghur, Nogai, Tuvan, Yakut, Tungus = Altaic brothers
Har Al nah, remove hazaras
Attiii Arghon
No, we Hazaras are very Altaic. You're likely one of those Hazaras who are too influenced by Afghan culture to the point you forgot your Altaic lineage. If you think we are not Altaic, then explain why over 90% of our tribe names derive from Altaic languages (Aimaq, Besud, Shibargi, Shibartu, Dai Zangi, Dai Kundi, Dai Chopan, Dai Zenyat, Qazakh, Kalmak, Naiman, Nikpai, Nikudar, Borjigi, Merkit, Jalair, Jaghatu, Jaghur, Uruzgan, Tatar, and so on). Explain why Babur himself recorded in his journal during the early 16th Century that many Hazaras were speaking Mogholi (a Mongoloc dialect with significant Turkic vocabulary). Explain why some Hazaras are born with the blue mark on their back which is also common for Mongolians and Central Asian Turks. And explain why many Hazaras predominantly have the y-chromosome of c-m217 which is also predominant amongst Mongolians and Central Asian Turks. I'd like to see your response on all this. We are very Altaic (Turko-Mongol) and the Afghan government want us to forget that identity by assimilating us into other cultures.
@@Lipton3373 You as a turkic-mongolian shouldn't hate Hazaras so much ... they have suffered a lot by pashtuns and tajiks during the centuries. beside, you can't deny their Mongolic features. That's a fact. Also please don't judge the whole people by doings of the few, who have forgotten their culture and ancestry. some of the youngsters don't know their history and heritage ... they try so hard to blend in, that's why some of them wears zoroaster necklaces
very good for progress
I'm from indonesiaVideo is very interesting and enlightening
