en.con-can.com/watch/preview.php?id=20081194The girl from Turkey has come to France. She is homesick when she meets an older man, a Uighur from China. They speak the same language and the tie between them deepens. Yet another outstanding documentary form this directorial duo. It is a perfect short film. It is awesome to show that a Turkish girl can communicate with an Uighur Turk from East Turkestan easily without knowing each other. I like the film because of its improvisated dialogues and very hearty. Salute all East Turkestan Turks. They are our brothers. Never forget them.

It was a good film but atleast 80%, maybe even 90%, of the language that guy spoke was Turkish, not Uyghur. And Uyghurs don't read fortunes from coffee cups, they don't even drink coffee.

Uighur Language is very easy to understand for Turks of Turkey. Pronouncations of words, larynx type is very closer to Anatolian Turks. For instance I watched a Turk World Music programme in our state channel(TRT) last year. There were two Uighurs both didnot know accent of Turkey but they spoke their own language. The respresenter and the spectators in the studio understood their words without a translator and also me too.
Uighurs are very closer to us.

Not only was he not speaking Uyghur but a lot of what she said in Turkish wouldn't be understandable to an Uyghur. Depending on what you're talking about Uyghur and Turkish wouldn't be too different but if this guy spoke Uyghur in this film there would've been times when they wouldn't understand eachother.

It depeds on person by person.
Some people also in Turkey can find Azerbaijan Turkish so funny and misunderstood. However Turkey and Azerbaijan dialects are very closer to each other. It is as same as East Turkestan language. This is my opinion and it doesnot change if any other guy acted in this production and spoke Uighur again too...

It does depend on the people. I remember when I was in East Turkistan I usually spoke a mixture of Turkish and Uyghur to Uyghurs and most people understood me but there were always a fwe who had more trouble depending on the conversation. But in the case of this film, it's different. He was mostly speaking Turkish, so this film doesn't show how well Uyghurs and Anatolians could understand eachother. I would've been much happier if he spoke Uyghur, she spoke Turkish and they understood that way. This film did nothing for me.

As you said, it changes from person to person.
I joined a protest organized by Uighur brothers a few years ago in Ankara with some of my friends.
Most of Uighurs dont know Anatolian Turkish because they were coming Turkey newly. I remembered they were from Kashgar and Khotan. We could talk and communicate with them easily although we couldnt speak Uighur and they didnot know Turkish. Their speaking style is nearly similar with the guy in the movie.
The film is again the same event for us. Dont surprise that two Turks can communicate well.
If you claim your view about Kyrgyz and Kazakh Languages. I can agree with you. Because these are very far and difficult to understand for Turks of Turkey. But it isnot necessary for Uighurs.

I'm not surprised of how well Anatolians and Uyghurs can communicate with eachother using their own languages, I've been in East Turkistan for 2yrs. and I see how well my Uyghur wife communicates with my Turkish family here. You don't understand what I'm saying though, in this film you can't compare the Uyghur and Turkish language, it doesn't show how well Uyghurs and Anatolians can communicate because the Uyghur guy is speakly mostly Turkish.....not Uyghur. By the way, the Uyghur language/dialect in southern East Turkistan, especially in Kashgar is closer to Anatolian Turkish than any other region's dialect.
