In the early 20th century, Kyrgyz people also built houses similar to the described type, but without the stepped arched ceiling. Their construction is likely genetically linked to the design of Pamir-type houses. This is primarily evidenced by the overlap in their distribution areas. Such houses are characterized by the presence of columns that support the roof, a wooden ceiling, and a beam laid across the floor, dividing the room into two unequal parts. In the smaller part, which constitutes
At that time, Chiyrdy fell ill In worry, Kanikei's moan was heard: - Why, my unfortunate one, are you late? When will he finally arrive? She took Manas's spyglass And climbed up Kanikei's tower She saw that someone was coming It was her son – Semetey!
In the ethnic composition of the Kyrgyz, tribes such as kurkureo, kuren, kalcha, keldike, kalmak, sart-kammak, kalmak-kyrgyz, chayu kazak, and others were represented, which, structurally, were not components of the aforementioned three branches. Historical information and genealogical traditions indicate that they belong to components of mixed or foreign origin (Abramzon, 1971. P. 26-28; 1960. P. 87-92; Alymbaeva, 1966. P. 200-212). Large tribes within the right and left wings, as well as the
Kanikei, seeing and hearing everything that was happening, was immensely frightened and, crying loudly, began to speak to Semetey: - My dear orphan, as long as Abyke and Kyobesh are alive, Talas will not be our homeland, and the Kyrgyz will not be our people: they are not joking enemies. Therefore, look, prepare well for battle.
Once upon a time, people say, it happened. A khan lost his wife, leaving him with two sons. Some time passed, and the khan married for the second time. His new wife immediately took a disliking to the khan's younger son. One day, when the older son rode off with forty horsemen to set traps for falcons, she complained to her husband: — Oh my lord! I have always felt that your younger son does not love me! The khan became furious, believing his wife, and ordered two of his horsemen to seize
A fresh vegetable appetizer is relevant at any time of the year, especially during the summer period. It is impossible to spoil, and adding other vegetables allows you to prepare completely different appetizers every day. A low-calorie salad made from fresh produce is beneficial for the body. Juicy tomatoes and cucumbers pair excellently with each other. Often, they do not require additional components, but many hostesses enjoy experimenting with the dish's composition.
Part - 5 Forty choro returned home A considerable amount of time had passed At that moment, a battle was taking place Akylai came out to them and said: - You must please me Show all your might Take revenge on Semetey – the orphan He beat Kёbёsh and took the property!
The houses-manors are characterized by their close proximity to each other. Sometimes they adjoin one another, and from above, they appear as a continuous cover of roofs without chimneys. G. V. Pokrovsky and N. I. Stogov wrote about the layout of the houses-manors and the arrangement of domestic furnishings within them.
Based on materials collected by S. M. Abramzon, R. Ya. Vinnikov, and A. Sydykov (Abramzon, 1960, pp. 3-136; 137-181; Vinnikov, 1957, pp. 71-75; Sydykov, 1992, pp. 111-156), we can judge the settlement of certain tribes. In the late 19th - early 20th centuries, the main mass of the Sarybagysh tribe inhabited the eastern part of the Chui Valley, the territories of Chon-Kemin and Kichi-Kemin, the northern and western parts of Lake Issyk-Kul, the Kochkor Valley, and the areas in the valleys of the
After the joyful wedding of Semetey, he took Chachykey with him, loading gold onto eighty red one-humped camels, handed the banner to Sara-khan, bid farewell to Temir-khan and Ismail, and set off on his journey. He rode on Taybuurul, with Akshumkar sitting on his arm, and along the way, he stopped to entertain himself with falconry using dogs. Seeing this beautiful procession, the ones traveling with him, Kanykey and Chiyyrdy, were immensely happy and said to each other:
Once, a young 'dzhigit spent the night at the house of a wealthy bay. They laid him to sleep in a yurt, where a beautiful berkut was perched on a pole, fluffing its feathers. In the morning, the dzhigit, looking at the beautiful bird, said: — Poor thing, you sit in captivity, with no one to take care of you, to teach you the art of hunting animals. You will never soar in the high sky, glide on the wings of the wind, or see from above how beautiful our jailoos are...
People tell stories about an interesting meat dish called "Töö tukum." This dish is prepared on special occasions when waiting for a very honored visitor from another country, showing deep respect for the guest. It is said that when this dish was being prepared, the aroma of the meat spread throughout the surrounding area. To make it, four types of animals were used: a camel calf, a foal, a calf, and a lamb. They tried to use smaller animals. First, they prepared the camel calf,
In the Osh region, we identify four main types of homesteads. We will first focus on the most ancient type, known as the Pamir type. Its distinctive feature is the placement of the house and the adjacent outbuildings under one roof. There is no courtyard. There is only one entrance to the homestead, through which people and livestock pass. The house is made of adobe with high walls (up to 3—3.2 m). The roof is always flat, without eaves, and, as mentioned above, is supported by massive pillars

The Presence of Numerous Clans and Tribes Among the Kyrgyz People Life for a Kyrgyz outside the close ties with their circle of close and distant relatives was practically impossible. Every person sought to maintain these connections, strengthen them, and restore them if they were broken, with genealogical information playing an important role (Abramzon, 1960, p. 7), and kinship relations could be both real and fictitious. The presence of numerous clans and tribes did not hinder the formation
The relocation of Semetey from Bukhara to Talas. By this time, forty choro had returned home. They arrived just as this clash was taking place. Akylai came out to them and said: - You have seen much good from Manas. Therefore, if you want to please me, his former wife, take revenge on that worthless orphan Semetey, who beat Kyobesh without you and left, taking all our possessions. Please, avenge my grievance on this scoundrel!
THREE BROTHERS Once upon a time, there were three orphaned brothers. They had a single ox, which was tended by the youngest brother. But one day, the ox went missing. The youngest brother searched everywhere for it — the ox seemed to have vanished into thin air. He then went to the middle brother. — I fell asleep and lost the ox,— said the youngest brother.
Chon Kojo - an ancient dish of the Kyrgyz. It is prepared for Nauryz. On this day, everyone gathers for the celebration. This is a holiday of uniting the community around one table, which promotes peace, harmony, and tranquility among the people. It is said that there was once a severe famine. At that time, they decided to cook a common soup together. Everyone brought whatever they had. After cooking chon kojo, the people prayed for a good harvest, hoping that the coming year would be
Two Types of "Tandyr" In southern Kyrgyzstan, there are two types of "tandyr." For one, the base is purchased ready-made from Uzbeks, while for the other, everything is made on-site. This is done by women. The base of the "tandyr" acquired from Uzbeks is a large pot in the shape of a "khuma" without a bottom. It is placed sideways on a platform, a "bottom" is laid inside, and it is coated around with clay to give it a rounded appearance. The

Bureaucratic Apparatus of Management among Southern Kyrgyz Tribes The social and property differentiation among the Kyrgyz deepened during the Kokand rule and after their incorporation into the Russian Empire, which was associated with an increase in tax burdens. The number of horse-less and livestock-less families sharply increased, social support among relatives turned into an open form of exploitation, and clan solidarity began to lose its former significance and acquire distorted forms.
Semetey's trip to Talas. Part - 4 - When the mighty lion Manas died, - Abyke continued to speak, - Shigay-khan and Jamgyrchi spread false rumors that you, Bakai, wanted to take six thousand dzhambs and a thousand beaver skins from Tekekche-khan's son Ormonbek to give him Kanykey as a wife. Tell me yourself, did such rumors not exist? Not even thirty days had passed since Manas's death when great unrest began in Afghanistan and Hindustan, in the land of three khans. Wishing for

To prevent a quarrel from breaking out, the father gave each son a thousand gold coins and said, “Whoever brings the most valuable thing will marry the girl.” The brothers took the money and set off on their journey. The eldest bought a carpet that could cover the forty-day journey in just one day. The
Goshnan Goshnan are meat pies. Although they resemble flatbreads more. They are cooked in a tandoor, in an oven, or in a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil. Kyrgyz people make goshnan with young lamb, cut into small cubes, and onions. The filling uses raw minced meat. To ensure it cooks through, goshnan are fried over low heat under a lid.

Outbuildings Outbuildings in southern Kyrgyzstan are quite uniform, but there are many variations in their placement relative to the house. Their construction in the past was determined by the nature and size of the household. In the overwhelming majority of old estates, stables (atkana, agyl) were mandatory. For these purposes, flat-roofed sheds (bastyrma) were also used. The sheds were supported on beams, one end resting on the fence (duval) and the other on posts buried in the ground 2-3

Namys. The management system in traditional Kyrgyz society was based on the principles of solidarity, mutual assistance, mutual support (patronage, clan, tribal), and collective responsibility. At the core of this system was the idea of the honor of the clan or tribe - namys, for which each individual was expected to give their all. In Soviet historiography, such a system was considered a hidden form of exploitation by the wealthy part of the population over their kin; in reality, the

Oaths among the Kyrgyz Oaths were an important element of relationships at the intertribal level, primarily concerning military and political issues, and they remained in effect until the agreed goal was achieved.

They are also popular in Southern Kyrgyzstan, but are most typical, as noted above, for flat-roofed Ferghana-type houses.

They replace cabinets, help keep household items organized, and give the dwelling a unique charm.

Elders - Real Power in Kyrgyz Society Before joining Russia, there existed the institution of kurultai. It was convened rarely and only to address momentous issues. A kurultai could be convened by a single tribe independently or by a group of tribes with prior agreement. For instance, in 1825, a kurultai of the Bugyn Kyrgyz was convened in the Zhyrgalan area on the Tyup River (Issyk-Kul), where the question of the Bugyn tribe accepting Russian citizenship was discussed; in 1842, a kurultai was
