1.1a Kyrgyz Vowel Harmony

Kyrgyz Vowels are Grouped into Four groups, two soft and two hard.  To add affixes to words, first we have to go to the last vowel in the word, find which group it's in, and then pick the ending that has the same "harmonizing" vowels from that group.

1.  а, (я) ы,
2.  е, (э) и
3.  о, (ё) у (ю)
4.  ө,      ү

Also, the vowels in the first column usually correspond in affixes, as do vowels in the third column. So if the group 1 affix is а, the group two affix is going to be e.  One exception to harmony is that У usually takes A as an affix, if the affixes correspond to the first column.  O will only be in affixes when the word's final vowel is o.

The vowels in parenthesis are mostly only found in Russian words, with the exception of Ээ, which is common in Kyrgyz words, but only at the beginning of words.  As such it will never be in an affix.

These groups are also important for pronunciation.  Especially К and Г will be soft if located before a soft vowel from groups 2+4, but hard and throaty with a hard vowel from groups 1+3.  In Northern Kyrgyz, the soft K turns into a G as in gum.

1.1 Kyrgyz Alphabet

If you're familiar with the Russian alphabet, the Kyrgyz alphabet is a breeze, almost everything is the same except for the addition of three letters:  Ң, Ө, Ү.   The last two are similar to German Umlauts, and the first is an NG.   There are also glottal versions of K and G, and Ж is closer to J than Zh.  The most difficult part is vowel pronunciation/tone, which Russians tend to miss.  You'll also notice double vowels, such as Ооба (Yes).  These generally just lengthen the sound.

This is the only video I could find, it's not the greatest, the first lady is a Russian speaker (Kyrgyz may or may not be her first language), and the second guy has a very distinct American accent, neither sound extremely Kyrgyz:
