How the word “Bashkort” came into use.
In the days of old our forefathers kept large herds of cattle and were always on the move, going from one place to another.
One day they set out in search of good pastures for their herds of cattle to graze on. They went through many lands and once came across a pack of wolves.
The leader of the pack left the wolves and went ahead of our forefathers and led the caravan on.

Bashkorts.
A pack of wolves

BASHKORTS
Our forefathers followed him. And thus they came to a rich and beautiful land with rivers, and meadows and berry-fields.
There were a lot of all kinds of wild animals in the forests. There were a lot of fishes in its rivers, too.
The mountains reached high to the clouds in the sky. And when they came to that land the wolf stopped.

The oldest and the wisest of our forefathers got together and said:

We will live here.
“Never we have seen so beautiful land before and never we will: there is no other place like this in the world, so here we stay and here we live.

Bashkorts
So, they stayed there and settled to live on that beautiful land. They put up their yurtas.
They went hunting and grazed their cattle on the reach meadows. From that time on our forefathers and fathers of our fathers began to call themselves “people who came after the wolves’ “leader”, the Bashkorts; and “kort” meant “wolf”, and “bashkort” meant the leader-wolf, and this is how the word : Bashkort came into use.

After the long time they began to build towns and cities,

Bashkorts
Factories and bridges, making gardens and modern buildings, and now we are having the beautiful country , which name is Bashkortostan.
We are very proud of our beautiful country with its forests, meadows, rivers, mountains and especially great multinational people, that live together for a long time .
