The Yakut are Shaman, maybe some still follow Tengriism. I heard some have converted to Russian Orthodox, but I'm sure it's just a small hand full. Or better say that they are officially converted to that.  What? |

All Gagavuz are Christian. Some Gagavuz in Turkey have turned to Islam, but not the whole population in Turkey. Gagauz turks has their own patric. turkish orthodox patric eftel. i dont know is eftel still patric. but there was a patric called eftel. So there's a Turk Orthodox sect of Christiananity? |

Yes, there are two if I know correctly: the Gagauz Orthodox Church of Moldova and the Turkish Orthodox Church of Turkey (which is separate from the Fener Greek Orthodox Church).

According to Sakha tradition, their ancestors came to Yakutia in 3 separate waves of migrations, all of which happened few decades one after another. The first small group of Sakha which came to Yakutia was led by Omoðoy Baay. After him came Elley leading the largest group, and finally the last one, and the smallest of all, came under the leadership of Uluu Khoro. Apparently, the last group was of Mongolian stock. People of todays largest Sakha clan, the Khangalas, living around present day Yakutsk, belive themselves to be descendants of Elley, mentioned above. Here is a story about Omoðoy Baay and his migration from the South to Yakutia, told by a famous Sakha Olonkhosut (Olonkho epic teller) an 86 years old Dmitriy Mihailovich Govorov, and writen by S. I. Bolo in 1934 --> www.uni-bonn.de/~uzsylm/sakha/bib/omogoy01.htmlAnd my poor translation from Russian: Omoðoy Baay quarreled (fought) with members of his own people in the South, and following the prophecy of one famous shaman, he ran away from them together with his family, his followers and cattle; runing away they didn't take the road down the river Lena, instead they followed the road down the western streams and finally came to the banks of the river Viluy.
Going (swiming ?) down the river he wanted to stay and settle in one place, but, realizing that there are many mosquitos and other bad things, he went further away and, following the Viluy river, came to the river Lena. There, not knowing where to go further (?), he climbed on a western  ? (sorry, don't understand this word ;D), and started roaming up and down to the North and South. This way, catching a pleasent winds and smells of a warm places, Omogoy (...) going across the lands now belonging to Namski Ulus, they came to a valley where is present day Yakutsk, and they settled there. There, they settled around one of the lakes in the valley, at that time known by the name Kieng Tuymaada. They named this lake Sakhsarý, after his mother.
Some say that Omogoy wanted to settle around the place where is now the village Namtci, but decidet to go further.
In Sakhsary, Omogoy made himself a yurt, covered with clay, and started to live there....To Be Continued... |

I'll go a bit off topic now but does "Baay" in Yakut have the same meaning as "Bey in Turkish?

I think it is the same as Turkish "Bay", but I'm not sure.

Yakutstan is the biggest Turkic state right? It depends on how you look at it... Ethnic Russians are majority there. And Sakha population is not so big at all... In all Siberian republics and districts only Tuvans outnumber Russians in their homeland  |

Yakutstan is the biggest Turkic state right? By area, Sakha Sire (correct Turkic name of the country) is the largest Turkic state, almost 4 times bigger than Turkey. |
