Sogdien

Sogdien is a Turkic language spoken in parts of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. It is also spoken by minorities in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Sogdien is one of the few Turkic languages that is not written in the Latin alphabet, but in the Cyrillic alphabet. Sogdien is a member of the Turkic language family, which includes Turkish, Azerbaijani, Uzbek and many other languages spoken in Central Asia. The Turkic languages are thought to be descended from a common ancestor, which was spoken in the steppes of Central Asia around 1000 AD. Sogdien is closely related to Uzbek and Uyghur, and is thought to be descended from the language of the Sogdians, an ancient people who lived in the region that is now Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The Sogdians were an important trading people, and their language was used as a lingua franca in Central Asia for many centuries. Sogdien is a highly endangered language, with only a few hundred speakers remaining. Most speakers are middle-aged or older, and the number of young people learning the language is very low. The language is not taught in schools, and there are no Sogdien-language television or radio programs. The future of Sogdien is uncertain, but there are some efforts being made to revive the language. In 2012, a Sogdien-language alphabet was created, and a Sogdien-language Wikipedia has been created. There are also a few Sogdien-language books available. If you are interested in learning Sogdien, there are a few resources available. The best way to learn the language is to find a native speaker who is willing to teach you. There are also a few online resources, such as the Sogdien-language Wikipedia and a few Sogdien-language dictionaries.
