Super briefly about Yakutia!^-^

Description:
An adittion (the facts, which were not included to the video): 1) The capital of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is Yakutsk. 2) Yakutsk is the biggest city built on continuous permafrost (*Permafrost is defined on the basis of temperature, as soil or rock that remains below 0°C throughout the year, and forms when the ground cools sufficiently in winter to produce a frozen layer that persists throughout the following summer). That's why most houses in Yakutia are built on concrete piles. 3) The official languages are both Russian and Sakha, also known as Yakut, which is spoken by approximately 25% of the population. 4) The climate in the republic is severe continental. Yakutia is known for being the coldest region of the northern hemisphere, where seasonal temperature variations exceed 100 °C (from +40 during the summer to -60 during the winter). 5) Actually, we don't have an anti-fur movement, and it's purely for climatic reasons. You just can't wear anything else in this weather. The thing is, furs ( so called Shubas and Shapka-ushankas)are not a decoration in Yakutia. They serve as a function, it's just a way to protect yourself against the cold. When it gets down to -50°C, -60°C, what else can you wear? 6) Usually in winter people look like this: http://i029.radikal.ru/0711/d2/4a6d4d1fdc18.jpg http://i009.radikal.ru/0711/87/0d9a1ffdc1c0.jpg http://i009.radikal.ru/0711/53/95b84f23ee9f.jpg But "stylish" new generation looks more or less like this: http://i048.radikal.ru/0711/d0/e7950d681e9a.jpg 7) The Yakut language belongs to the Turkic group of languages, which belongs to the Altaic family of languages. Turkic languages are characterised by vowel harmony, general lack of consonant groups, the specific lack of initial l and r in native words, the use of possessive suffixes, lack of gender and a general agglutination of suffixes in word formation... P.S.: * There are some contradictions in certain numbers in the information about Yakutia given in Internet, so I consulted the book in Russian written by K. A. Nikolaev. Origins of the Sakha (Yakut): http://homepage.ntlworld.com/heather.hobden1/Yakutia16c.htm * Music used: 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE5be_-Dzk4 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGtTaaEwM8Q
