Why do Kipchak and Siberian Turkic peoples say "Tengri" with a medial vowel (and sometimes without the last vowel)? (Kazakh "tengir", Altai "tengeri", Tuvan "deer", Yakut "tangara", Khakas "tigir")

Is it possible that they were influenced by the Mongolic pronunciation of Tengri? Or is it some kind of secondary independent development?

I'm looking for old and traditional Kazakh music

Есенсіз бе? I'm searching for the most ancestral and authentic Kazakh music. How far back can we go back in the Kazakh musical tradition? Are there any works that are believed to preserve the oldest layers of Kazakh music? I'm especially interested in music that predates Russian influence and reflects the steppe's ancient nomadic heritage. Any recommendations for recordings, performers, or academic sources would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for someone to chat with so I can practice my Mongolian

My knowledge of the Mongolian language is still in its infancy, but I believe I can form basic sentences for communication. My primary goal right now is simply to chat, so I'm not asking you to teach me the entire language (although I would certainly appreciate any help!).

If you're interested, you can comment on this post or send me a DM. Preferably, we can chat through Reddit or Discord.

Why does Old Turkic script is associated with Sogdian alphabet and not with Germanic Runes?

I don't understand how Sogdian alphabet is ancestral to the Turkic script. They look very different. On the other hand, Germanic Runes do not only bear resemblance to Turkic script but some of characters are identical

Could the names of all these ethnic fiddles be related? Turkish "ıklığ/ıklık", Tuvan "игил (igil)", Altai "икили (ikili)", Mongolian "икэл (ikel)"?
