Their native Sakha (Yakut) language belongs to the Turkic language group. The Turkic languages are a group of languages widely spoken in Asia and Eastern Europe. The area of distribution of Turkic languages extends from Turkey in the west to Xinjiang in the east and from the coast of the East Siberian Sea in the north to Khorasan in the south. Native speakers of these languages live compactly in the CIS countries (Azerbaijanis – in Azerbaijan, Turkmens – in Turkmenistan, Kazakhs – in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz – in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbeks – in Uzbekistan; Kumyks, Karachays, Balkars, Chuvash, Tatars, Bashkirs, Nogais, Yakuts, Tuvans, Khakas, mountain Altaians – in Russia; Gagauz – in the Pridnestrovian Republic) and beyond – in Turkey (Turks) and China (Uighurs). Currently, the total number of native speakers of Turkic languages is about 120 million.

Russia lies in both Europe and Asia. The European part - 23%, the Asian part - 77% of the total territory of the country. Russian - East Slavic ethnos, the most numerous and state-forming people of Russia (according to the all-Russian census of 2010, is more than 80% of the population), largest European people. In total, there are about 133 million Russians in the world. But Russians are unevenly distributed throughout the country, with some regions, such as Chechnya, accounting for less than 2% of the population.
Russia is a multinational country. It is home to more than 190 different ethnic groups. The main religions represented in Russia are Christianity (mainly Orthodox, there are also Catholics and Protestants), as well Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Paganism.
The Russian Federation consists of 85 subjects, 22 of which are called republics. The Republic is a kind of non-Russian ethnic enclaves that have their own level of government, these subjects have the right to establish their own language and Constitution, while other subjects do not have such rights.
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is located in Siberia. Siberia is in North East Asia. Yakutia is geographically more Eastern than China itself.
This is Sakha people, or another way the Yakuts. The Yakuts are the Turkic peoples of the Mongoloid race. Their language belongs to the Turkic language group. Religion - Paganism and Orthodox Christianity.
Indigenous Northern Asian ethnic groups have always lived in Siberia. The mass settlement and development of Russians from the European part of Russia to the east began at the end of the 16th century. Siberia has been historically part of Russia since the 17th century. Yakutia has been part of Russia since 1632. It is a mistake to think that only the Russian ethnic group lives in Russia. This is not a mono-national country.
