The Turkic peoples are a group of peoples. They speak languages belonging to the Turkic family. Turkics come mainly from these independent states: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.^[4]

However. Turkics live in many places and include most people in Central Asia. Many live in Siberia, the Caucasus area, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

Turkic people can sometimes understand one other during communication because of their languages are often connected to Turkic and have the same words.
