Question to fellow Tatars. What is the most unexpected place where you heard Tugan Yak song?

Hello I am a magyar from Hungary and I think Tatarstan is a really cool place! We hungarians have actually lived there for a time in our long history of wandering from east to west and we are possibly related to tatars. Though it is a hot debate whether we are turkic, our language is half turkic half finno-ugric and we have a lot in common with turkic people! But it is hard for us to connect to other turkic people such as tatars because we are far away now and while most turkic nations are muslims we are one of the few christians (even if most of Hungary is atheist now). And I know that Tatarstan is part of Russia so we are kind of on the different side of this war now. But I think turkic people should never see each other as enemies! What do you guys think about us magyars? Do you see us as a long lost relative? I think more and more hungarian people start seeing you as one of ours. Would you welcome a magyar person living among you in Tatarstan? And would you live among us in Hungary? I am curious about your opinion...

Edit: Fun fact, although most hungarians don't know where Tatarstan is, we use the word tatar frequently as we had a huge historical cathastrophe called the 'Tatarjaras' (march of Tatars) when most of early Hungary was destroyed by the mongols (who were mistaken to be tatars) so tatars are even in our national anthem! (even if mostly in negative context and they are not really tatars:( )

Sorry for the question. But I never heard the topic circumcision in regard of (Volga) Tatars although they ate mainly Muslims. I know that Turkish boys between 9 and 13 years of age wear special clothes and a hat when they get circumsized. I guess this is not a thing among Tatars, isn't it? An

How are tattoos viewed in Tatarstan? I saw a man on TikTok with tattoos in kazan so i got curious. Even found out that there are few tattoo shops aswell?

And when do you use it? Thank you in advance

I know the meaning more or less but how do you translate it word by word?

Hello, I am sphixe m24 from Egypt. Recently I have read a lot about the Tatarstan civilization and I would like to know more about this topic, in addition to getting to know people from Tatarstan.

Greetings from an Anatolian Turkmen! Nothing offensive, nothing personal btw. Just a question asked by a random dude who is just curious about this topic. Please try to be respectful in replies!

Need the Tatar language for a small task.

Hello,

I am a student at the University of Sunderland in North East England, and I am creating a crowdsourced project about Tatars.

I am not a Tatar (I am English), but my wife is a Tatar from Astrakhan, as are my children (but they all live back home in Russia), so I'm passionate about Tatar history, culture and language. For this reason, I want to create a project aimed at highlighting Tatars.

For the project, I am hoping to collect the views and opinions of Tatar people within and outside of the Russian Federation, about how they see themselves as Tatars. What does being Tatar mean to you? How do you express your cultural and ethnic identity? How do you see yourself within Tatar culture? Whatever you wish to talk about with regard to being Tatar, I would love to see your contribution.

This is about giving some voice to Tatars, not in a political sense but more about showing non-Tatars whom and what Tatars are, from the voices of Tatars themselves.

If you have any questions or contributions, please e-mail: tatarsspeakproject@proton.me or bh98gk@student.sunderland.ac.uk

Thank you very much for reading, and I hope to see your contributions.

Привет,

Я студентка Университета Сандерленда на северо-востоке Англии и создаю краудсорсинговый проект о татарах.

Я не татарин (я англичанин), но моя жена татарка из Астрахани, как и мои дети (но они все живут дома, в России), поэтому я увлечен татарской историей, культурой и языком. По этой причине я хочу создать проект, направленный на освещение татар.

В рамках проекта я надеюсь собрать взгляды и мнения татар в Российской Федерации и за ее пределами о том, как они считают себя татарами. Что для вас значит быть татарином? Как вы выражаете свою культурную и этническую идентичность? Каким вы видите себя в татарской культуре? О чем бы вы ни говорили относительно того, что вы татарин, мне бы хотелось увидеть ваш вклад.

Речь идет о том, чтобы дать татарам некоторый голос, но не в политическом смысле, а скорее о том, чтобы показать нетатарам, кто и что такое татары, исходя из голосов самих татар.

Если у вас есть вопросы или предложения, пишите по электронной почте: tatarsspeakproject@proton.me или bh98gk@student.sunderland.ac.uk.
