You are welcome, Zooby. The old runic alphabet is certainly interesting, and it makes me wonder if it influenced the Chinese way back - if at all.

I am quite interesting in the origin of Tatars, Bulgars (Bulgarians), Magyars (Hungarians), Uigurs, Kazakhs, and others. It is a facinating history which certainly has had significant impact on Europe - west, central and east, as well as China, India, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and the whole middle east.

Perhaps the subject is worth a thread in the history forum.

Actually, my head is still spinning from the first read through of the wikipedia article. There are too many kinds of Tartars in too many different places to get a handle on them.

This means "I love you" in Ukrainian.

For the Tatar Language, as I studied in ukraine, I had many friends from Turkmenistan, they speak Tatar as a main language, it's much diffirent than Russian and has some connection to Arabic (cause some of the words they use were from an arabic origin)... correct me if I'm wrong
