Hello. Can you tell me about Kyrgyzstan? 
 Kyrgyzstan is one of two former Soviet republics in Central Asia to have Russian as an official language, Kazakhstan being the other. 
 Do you have any information on the history of Kyrgyzstan? 
 One December 1990, the Supreme Soviet voted to change the republic's name to the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. 
 Are there any other interesting historical facts? 
 On December 21, 1991, Kyrgyzstan joined with the other four Central Asian Republics to formally enter the new Commonwealth of Independent States. 
 I'm also interested in learning about the culture there. What can you tell me about that? 
 The 40-rayed yellow sun in the center of the flag represents the 40 tribes that once made up the entirety of the Kyrgyz culture before the intervention of Russia during the rise of the Soviet Union. 
 That is neat that they represented all the 40 tribes. I would like to know more. 
 The flag's graphical element in the sun's center depicts the wooden crown, called tundak, of a yurt, a portable dwelling traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia. 
 Do you have any more cultural facts that are interesting? 
 The lines inside the sun represent the crown or tunduk of a yurt, a symbol replicated in many facets of Kyrgyz architecture. 
 That is so interesting. Thank you for your help today. 
 No problem, enjoy your day!
