 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 .

" Other sources claim that , before 1267 , the land not conquered by the Mongols was considered " White Rus ' " .
