Basically all Central Asian 5.
Jack Young
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?
Samuel Perry
Like this, with Russian being the communication language. Tataria also might join to the union, since it will be pro-Russian anyway.

well memed
Juan Wilson
azerbaijan is turkey, yes?
only artificially split due to WW1 colonists?
Jason Martinez
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
Ian Nelson
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
Isaiah Gomez
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.
Cooper Wood
Not many people know that Chinese turkics are white.
Jonathan Martinez
Hey Turk, stop being Muslim, Right NOW.
Levi Martinez
Nothing wrong with being muslim.
Everything wrong with being turk.
Tyler Perry
Not all of Central Asia is poor
Jacob Reed
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.
Grayson Long
Hazaras are turkic tbqh

Michael Ward
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.
Zachary Ross
Do you make good tarts my toothpaste friend?
Jose Thompson

Oliver Smith

Noah Collins
