Disappearance of the indigenous peoples’ native language of Yakutia can lead to complete dissolution and disappearance as an ethnic group and the loss of the cultural heritage of these peoples. One of the most interesting languages in Yakutia is Yukaghir, we studied unique pictograms and compared them to the modern emojis. Methods of analyzing documents and interview were applied. We consider the use of pictographic writing is a traditional cultural practice that arose in ancient times, were preserved in updated modern computer graphics and widely used in modern society as emoji. Our data demonstrate that people use emojis for the same purpose as the pictograms were used, thus our statement is true. We believe that the study of the history of the people and culture by us, young generation, should contribute to the preservation and revival of the original cultures and languages of the indigenous peoples of the North.

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of cultural codes in the riddles of three Turkic ethnic groups of Russia: Yakuts, Tatars, and Khakass. The study focuses on three key semantic categories: “Human,” “Household Items,” and “Animals.” Based on the analysis of over 2,000 riddles from academic collections, the authors reconstruct fragments of the linguistic picture of the world of these ethnic groups. The research reveals that despite geographical separation, these cultures share a common “code” system rooted in their Turkic origin, particularly in metaphors describing the human body and the hearth. Differences arise primarily in the representation of local fauna and specific household realities dictated by the environment. The work demonstrates how common archetypes are adapted to the specific conditions of the North, the forest-steppe, and the mountains.
