 No Kazakh language is heard in the film . Borat 's neighbours in Kazakhstan were portrayed by Romani people , who were unaware of the film 's subject . The Cyrillic alphabet used in the film is the Russian form , not the Kazakh one , although most of the words written in it ( especially the geographical names ) are either misspelled or make no sense at all . The lettering on the aircraft in the beginning of the film is merely the result of Roman characters on a reversed image , while promotional materials spell " BORДT " with a Cyrillic letter for D substituted for the " A " in Faux Cyrillic style typically used to give a " Russian " appearance . Sacha Baron Cohen speaks Hebrew in the film , while Ken Davitian speaks Armenian . They also use several common phrases from Slavic languages : Borat 's trademark expressions " jagshemash " ( jak się masz ) and " chenquieh " ( dziękuję ) echo the Polish ( or other related languages ) for " How are you ? " and " thank you " , respectively . While presenting his house , Borat says " tishe " to his house @-@ cow ; " tiše / тише " is Russian ( similar words exist in other Slavic languages ) for " quiet ( er ) " or " be quiet " .

 In a Russification drive in the 1840s , Nicholas I prohibited the use of Belarusian language in public schools , campaigned against Belarusian publications and tried to pressure those who had converted to Catholicism under the Poles to reconvert to the Orthodox faith . In 1863 , economic and cultural pressure exploded into a revolt , led by Kalinowski . After the failed revolt , the Russian government reintroduced the use of Cyrillic to Belarusian in 1864 and no documents in Belarusian were permitted by Russian government until 1905 .
