Kyrgyz picking up the votes. How come you have a head start?
When I lived there I studied it with a tutor (co-author of the only complete Kyrgyz-English dictionary!) for a year. Didn't get far, maybe low A2, but used the language in the markets and it tickled the vegetable/fruit ladies to hear a Westerner trying their language. It was fun.
