If turkestan were a country what would it look like?
>>67718005
Basically all Central Asian 5.
a bunch of poor, landlocked countries in central asia would come together. They might be more independent from Russian and Chinese influence. Other than that, not much difference.

could you communicate with an Uzbek or a Tatar if they spoke their language and you spoke Turkish? also do you dislike Slavs?
>>67718005
Like this, with Russian being the communication language. Tataria also might join to the union, since it will be pro-Russian anyway.
>>67718215
> Anatolian Turkish
well memed
>>67718215
azerbaijan is turkey, yes?
only artificially split due to WW1 colonists?
>>67719232
Azeri, Crimean Tatar (no problem)
Tatar, Bashkir (difficult)
Uzbek, Uyghur (difficult, just basic conversation)
== (limit of interintelligibility for a Turkish speaker) ==
Kazakh, Kirghiz (shift in pronunciation, Arabic and Persian borrowings remain recognizable)
>also do you dislike Slavs?
No

the Tatars are a pretty cool people, as a Pole I have great respect for them since they fought pretty valiantly for Poland for hundreds of years, pic related
>>67719410
No. They have different religions. Also Azerbaijan was literally Persia, so they were rivals for a long time. We can't say they are split artificially just because of WW1. But figures like Enver Pasha wished for unification with them.
Not many people know that Chinese turkics are white.

Hey Turk, stop being Muslim, Right NOW.
>>67721151
Nothing wrong with being muslim.
Everything wrong with being turk.
>>67718103
Not all of Central Asia is poor
>>67719448
uzbek and uygur are A LOT closer to Oghuz languages than Tatar and Bashkir. Tatar and Bashkir are in the same group as Kazakh and Kırgız, and their intelligibility for us is not much different.
as to answer the original question: it is a matter of lexical selection and paying attention. an uzbek and turk may very well communicate solely with their own languages concerning daily matters if they make an effort to make the other side understand.
Hazaras are turkic tbqh

Tatar here
I've tried. When both speakers speak slower than usual, it's not that bad. Some words are just really hard to understand.
