1.  Aydin Uyanmas 2. //__**Culture**__//- Tuvan; which is a culture found in the republic of Tuva. Lies in the geographical center of Asia, in southern Siberia. The culture is very ancestor oriented and as a culture they have historically been cattle-herding nomads, tending to their herds of goats, sheep, camels, reindeer, cattle and yaks for the past thousands of years. 3. //__**Language **__//-The Tuvan language is a branch of the Turkic family.It is recognized as having four (4)different dialect The language is based on Cyrillic Script, whichis the basis of alphabets used in various languages, past and present, in parts of the Balkans and Northern Eurasia, especially those of Slavic origin, and non-Slavic languages influenced by Russian. **//__Beliefs & Practices__//**-The main beliefs and practices of Tuvan's is between Siberian shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism. These beliefs have not always been accepted and just like in many other areas there have been religious issues but the has been a growing in Tibetan Buddhism inferring that both occupy large areas of the region.These religious beliefs and practices are carried throughout families and go from generation from generation. 4.**//__Challenge__//**s-Culture related challenges can be interpreted anyway because all cultures will have a flaw that makes them less desirable. In this case its the fact that this culture is so broad and formed based around other cultures. It has a mixture of the surrounding cultures like the Russian culture and even borrows its alphabetic system for its language. The culture itself is very misunderstood and not much information can be taken from outside sources. Also Tuvan culture deals a lot with music and art and when talking about what makes a culture undesirable for this spot as a ambassador to which the main points deal with education, culture, science, and communication/ information music and art can be very hard to relate back to and although may help with a little with cultural aspects, that's really it. 5.**//__Tuvan Culture__//**- This culture is very music oriented as well as art oriented. They use music as a projection and even have something called [|Throat Singing] which is where they use overtones and project there voices different ways. There religion is also a way of there culture because it reflects the things the tuvan culture believe in the values they hold.One of the things they do and believe in, is when they are hunting they don't call the animal there proper name they use other names in which the animal is given. Even though they have two (2) religions in the area its not so much a struggle or battle between the two they live and communicate between each other 6.**//__Works__// __Cited__**-
