Another Barak could be the enclave (try this link)
[edit]Take a look here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Barak/@40.5503123,71.6998937,1829m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x38bb7110d6230a2f:0x9945faf086650ccf
There is a quote by Palmberg shown at Jan Krogh's website, http://geosite.jankrogh.com/kyrgyzstan.htm. I think this is the location that Palmberg refers to.
- "There exists a tiny Kyrgyz village, Barak, in the Fergana Valley region where Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan meet. The village is surrounded by Uzbek territory and located between the cities of Margilan and Fergana." (Palmberg)
This village of Barak is about 4 miles north of the city of Margilan in Uzbekistan on Google Maps. Coordinates are 40°33'0"N, 71°42'0"E (40.550°N, 71.700°E). Judging from the aerial view, the number of structures in the immediate area suggests a similar population as is mentioned in several of the references that describe an enclave of Barak.

- After looking into this matter further, I have concluded that the village of Barak (or Borat) that is north of Margilan is not the enclave belonging to Kyrgyzstan.
