Their language, Kyrgyz, is part of the Turkic language family and uses the Cyrillic script. Kyrgyzstan, the country where most Kyrgyz people reside, is known for its mountainous landscapes, history along the Silk Road, and diverse cultural influences. The Kyrgyz people have a strong tradition of horsemanship, epos storytelling, and community-oriented customs, contributing to the region's unique identity.
