We saw no signs
I use russian as my main language, but i know Kazakh very well, i just want everyone in Kazakhstan to know its own language
why it’s a useless language you should all speak Russian
Fair thoughts, I agree
Yes it is. Hope you the best fellow brother of the Turan.
Our nation culture, language are dying, thats why, we are loosing our nation
nations are artificial though, and even if you care about it for some reason, then you can create a new nation
For me, save my nationality is very important, people just disrespect our culture and language living on “Land of Kazakhs” (literal translate of Kazakhstan), this disrespectful as shit, and theyre forcing russian language there
what if you were of a different nationality?
im saying its ok if theyre know russian, and speak it. knowing languages is very good, but i want them know Kazakh, they may not speak it, but please, learn and know kazakh language if ur citizen
Well, i ve got a russian girl friend who knows kazakh language even better than me and supports it, its about respect country you live in, so even if i were russian, i would respect my homeland
“even if i were Russian, i would respect my homeland” means i would respect traditions, culture and language of my birthplace, i would know kazakh and dont say things such as “its useless” “dumb language”
nah you faggots don’t learn English when you come to America so I don’t give a fuck if your language dies or not
i said that what if you were of a different nationality? like german.
Nationalism is absolutely normal, your people are all you've got
Kazakhs living in the United States speak English. We have many programs where students from Kazakhstan with a good level of English (IELTS) and a good GPA can study in the United States on exchange programs. The IELTS test and English language learning are very popular in our country. I dont even think you ever meet Kazakh in ur life
I think you're right, nationalism as in putting your nation's cause first is what makes it great.
Normal? depends where you're from
If you were german you would obviously love german people. Non-nationalistic people think that love is directed to some plot of land or a particular state structure, but it's toward your own people. There's nothing more sweet than hearing your own language if you've been abroad for long, for example. People are people everywhere, but nothing beats your own people.
no none of them speak English here when you try to talk to one they don’t even know what yes or no means it’s not like I’d ever learn kazakh but I’d never moved to Kazakhstan either
Yes, i guess you did not ever meet Kazakh in your life. Because they basically know English, Russian and Kazakh
every single nationality was created by the state rather than some historical tribe, and created not a while ago (19th-20th centuries).
nope i meet enough of them. they tend to think that they know English but then they say nonsense and blame me for not understanding
If i were like german, i dont think i would even know what kazakhstan is
Sad if you only meet people only like that, but russians in kazakhstan living there by generations, and still dont know language
Right, so what are kurds, who have never had a state but instead have been heavily repressed, but still are a nation? Sure, what you described is true in some cases, that this national identity was awoken or even created by the state, and if you're like American, I get it, being nationalistic will seem kind of stupid when your country is made of hundreds of different nations who don't even all speak the same language. In such cases patriotism is a good cope, but healthy love for your own nation is nothing but a good thing.
the fact that kurds had no kurdish doesn't debunk anything, it was created cuz of turkey state as well. just like literally all nationalities were created in soviet union according on what language do people on some particular territory speak
You don't know history well, man. After the Russian empire collapsed, many nation-states emerged, with which the communists waged war. The fact that these states were used as the basis for creating republics within the USSR, with the preservation of the national language as a compromise, does not make their nationalities created. This is without taking into account the history before the Russian Empire, since Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Caucasian peoples had their own states in the past.
this is simple commie propaganda.
The process of national formation began even before the Soviet Union emerged.
