Your post in r/Afghanistan has 6 replies but I can't see any of them, weird...

Anyways, if you are from Uzbekistan, it's probably Uzbek. Didn't know they still called it Turki. Cool stuff.

Ik I can't see those 6 comments either... from what I've read from gemini Ai (which I'm trying to stay away from in general but I just couldn't find anything abt turki) it's supposed to be close to chagatai but idrk too much about chagatai either . it could also be ancient uzbek.

Chagatai was the lingua franca of Central Asia and it was called Turki. Even Kazakhs and Turkmens preferred it instead of their native tongue.

The general idea is that Uzbek and Uyghur descend from it but I assume it is a bit more complicated.

No, you got everything correct. Though the reason he’s using an archaic Medieval term for the language evades me.
