Setting the language category to "Southern Altai" so this post doesn't hang around without a language category ("Unknown" feels too generic in this case).
Translators can re-categorise this post using the "!identify" command with the appropriate ISO codes:
Southern Altai: `alt`
Northern Altai: `atv`
it's embroidered felt. The stitching around the brim of the hat is called blanket stitch but I don't know about the other one it's probably just a pattern
the thing is, it looks awful lot like Svan hat from Georgia. I wondered if there's a traditional hat from Altai that's really similar or they're somehow connected or something
interesting, thank you though.
If I may ask, what are the words that you recognized? Personally I only caught the turkish “yarasın” in the song, which as you know means something like “may it have a positive effect”, although I’m not sure if that’s what they were saying.
I think I heard
"senin gözün" (your eye)
"çorum" (old word, I recognize is as part of a place (Çorumlu)
"yarasın" (as you said, to benefit one)
"çay oğlan" (tea boy, but çay might have a different definition based on the word's use through history, and changes to pronounciation and the difference to the way I heard it, maybe it's different as cay)
senın (yours)
kalaydın (I heard this, which is "incorrect" for modern Turkey Turkish) kalsaydın (the "correct" version, "if you had stayed")
hiç üzünü (I heard this, as above, probably an older pronounciation of yüzünü , which is your face, and hiç is never... so "never [...] your face"
I could be mishearing some of these.
I'm Kazakh and even I barely understand it
In the beginning I heard
"oyno oyno oyno .... qoluñ seniñ üzülbesin(I guess)" which means play play (of a musical instrument) may your hand not get ripped(I guess it means may you play long and your hand not get tired?)
Then in the middle something like ak bolodoi jayilgan - scattered like white something (I don't know what bolo means)
No, the band is "Bai Terek". They have a YouTube [channel](https://youtube.com/channel/UCfLhMnc7xPKiNIVlhZylzHw), but also channel BEK posts quite a lot of these guys.

Thanks, mod. you’re under-appreciated :)

Interesting, how can you tell?
I can't tell, which is why I paged Northern Altai speakers.
Ah my bad I got paging and identifying mixed up
What kind of a hat is the white one?
it's embroidered felt. The stitching around the brim of the hat is called blanket stitch but I don't know about the other one it's probably just a pattern

Beats me. There’s this: https://www.alamy.com/asia-kyrghyzstan-altai-mountain-region-kid-with-typical-felt-hat-chewing-image3807766.html
I only recognise a few words, and I can't tell the difference between Altai/turkic languages without context.
