Wrong. Transoxiana/Mawarannahr was only turkified after the Mongol conquests and mass slaughter of region's inhabitants. Even cities as far East as Balasagun were bilingual according to Kashgari. And Balasagun is not even in Transoxiana. While the Tarim Basin with the exception of Khotan was basically turkified by the time Karakhanids emerged.

Hey khans den, will you make a video about ottoman chinese relations? I heard the ottomans had the largest chinese porcelaine pottery collection in the world. So i think they had a very good relation with eachother
A great episode about the Qarakhanid Empire. First: It appears from the context of the medieval historical sources that the origin of the Qarakhanids is from the Qarluq tribes and they have a connection with the Yabgu-Karluq confederation, but the historical sources are contradictory. Some sources mention the origin of the Yaghma tribes and some other sources mention the origin of the Qarluq tribes. According to the book The Boundaries of the World, the Iligma tribes controlled most of the lands south of the Tarim Basin and expanded into the lands of other Turkish tribes. Therefore, some ancient historians, such as Ibn Khaldun, did not specify the origin of the Turkish tribe from which the kings of the Khanate state descended. Even the Qarakhanid prince Mahmoud Al-Kashgari did not specify the origin of the Turkish tribe of the Qarakhanid dynasty, while he was the one who mentioned the origin of the ruling Seljuk tribe. In my opinion, this is perhaps because the Qarakhan dynasty descends from a group of Turkic tribes, most of which settled in Central Asia and mixed with each other since the Gokturk era by the Karluks, Yagmas, Chigils, Tushis and others. Indeed, ancient historical sources mention mixing between Turkish tribes in Central Asia This stability is not new to the Turks, as the Chinese traveler who visited Western Gokturk in the seventh century AD mentioned that the Turks are settled and practice agriculture on the Chu River. Of course, Turkish migrations to Transoxiana go back to the Xiongnu era at the very least, through the Huns era and up to the Gokturk era, as mentioned in ancient Chinese records and medieval historical sources. Of course, these historical facts do not please Aryan extremists who insist on claims that the Turks landed via spacecraft to Transoxiana after the expansions of the Chinggisid Empire. Unfortunately, the Islamist ideologues in Turkey were promoting the lie of the soft Arab conquest of Transoxiana during the period of the Islamic Awakening, and after historians refuted the Islamists’ claims and the historians made it clear that the Arab conquests were extremely violent, like the Chinggisian expansions, then the Islamists turned to adopting the thesis of the Aryan extremists that the Arab conquests were It is directed against the Iranians only and not against the Turks, as if this justification would help reduce the ugliness of what happened, and the ideological Islamists were supposed to apologize to the public for their previous lies and falsification of history. While the medieval historical sources consider Transoxiana part of Greater Turkestan, Al-Kashgari mentioned that some of the cities of Transoxiana are purely Turkish and some are based on ethnic and linguistic duality. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Arian extremists and ideological Islamists agreed on the same anti-Turkish ideas. Second: The Battle of Talas was just a small and ineffective border battle and was not even mentioned by Islamic historical sources such as Al-Tabari, Ibn Miskawayh and others. It occurred because the Turks and Sogdians asked for help from the Chinese Emperor, and the clash took place with the Abbasid army in Talas and ended with the victory of the Abbasid army after the Qarluq soldiers turned into the army. Abbasi. The influence of the Tang Chinese Empire did not end in the western lands of Central Asia, and the Turks and Sogdians continued to pay allegiance to the Emperor of China. The radical transformation took place after the An Lushan Revolt (755-765), which led to great devastation within China and the permanent loss of the western regions of Central Asia. I do not know why some Turkish historians ignore this pivotal event in the Middle Ages. Of course, this event contributed to increasing the external power of the Kingdom of Tibet and enabled it to expand externally, as well as contributing to the independence of the small Turkic states in Central Asia. It is a historical irony that the Uyghur Khaganate played a major role in providing military assistance to the Tang Dynasty to eliminate An Lushan in exchange for paying Chinese tribute to the Uyghur Khaganate and obtaining a set of privileges. Third: It is not possible to pass through the Samanid state quickly. Regardless of the origin of the Samanid dynasty, and the fact that some ancient historians such as Rashid al-Din al-Hamdani mentioned that they were of Oghuz Turkmen origin, I accept what is common among most of the scientific community about the Iranian origin, but when talking about the nature of the Samanid state, I will We find that Turkish influence was very large in the Samanid state, and the Samanid used Central Asian Turks in the army and state positions, as most of the leaders and soldiers of the Samanid army were Turks, and most of the governors of the regions were Turks. Therefore, the historian Ibn Miskawayh mentioned that the Samanid state was predominantly Turkish. Fourth: It appears from medieval historical sources that the Turkish conversion to Islam in Central Asia occurred gradually and slowly, and we do not have an accurate history about its true beginnings, but it may have begun as early as the middle century AD in the Samanid era and reached its peak in the Qarakhanid era, where the great mass conversion of Central Asian Turks took place. . But most Turks in Eurasia remained non-Muslims until the era of the Chinggisid Empire. The Qarakhanids tried to spread Islam among the Turks using military force, until the agreement between the Qarakhanids and Sultan Ghaznavid stipulated that the Qarakhanids would complete their conquests against the non-Muslim Turks. We should mention the Qarakhanid history objectively, whether in favor of them or against them, so that the Turkish peoples in the future avoid these negatives. Although the Qarakhanids tolerated the Nestorian Church, they were exclusionary against the Buddhists, as Mahmoud Al-Kashgari mentioned that they destroyed the Uighur temples. We may find a political justification according to the context of ancient times, because the Qarakhanids tried to unite the Turks politically by imposing religion on them, but this is not enough and does not justify intolerance. Fifth: The Qarakhanids played a pivotal role in the land Silk Road trade, and contemporary historical studies have concluded that the thesis that claims the collapse of the land Silk Road after the collapse of the Tang dynasty and its return to work in the Chinggisid Empire is incorrect. Historical studies in Chinese records have found that the Qarakhanid dynasty sent dozens of regular trade missions to the Chinese Song dynasty during about more than a century and a half, starting from the tenth century AD. It is even mentioned that in some Qarakhanid trade missions, they were led by a Turkish merchant woman. The Qarakhanid merchant woman negotiated with The Song Emperor and Chinese officials at the Chinese court. Even when the land Silk Road from the Gansu region was threatened by Tangut attacks, the Karakhanids chose another land route through the territory of the Kingdom of Tibet. Unfortunately, the issue of historical relations between the Turks and Tibet is not discussed much. Sixth: The Qarakhanids created a new Turkish civilization in Central Asia. They built new cities, supported trade, built schools for education, and a new architectural style appeared in their era, etc. Therefore, the most prominent Islamic monuments in Transoxiana and Central Asia before the Chingizid era still date back to the Qarakhanid era. They contributed to laying the foundations of Turkish Islamic culture, as they translated the Qur’an into the Turkish language, and the first Sufi movements influenced by Turkish culture appeared in their time. The first books of Turkish literature, influenced by Islamic culture, and so on, appeared in their time. History books mentioned that the Qarakhanids forced some of the Nomadic Qarluq tribes to settle in the countryside and practice agriculture. Seventh: Qarakhanid rule lasted four centuries in three stages: The first stage: 250 years ago and was completely independent. The second stage: 50 years, during which its eastern part was completely independent, while its western part belonged to the Seljuk Empire. The third stage: It lasted about 70 years and was subject to the Qara Khitai state. Although ancient historians consider that the Qarakhanid state fell after the attack of the Qara Khitai, who allied with the Qarluq tribes in 1141, the Qarakhanid dynasties continued in the main centers of Central Asia according to the same pattern as the Qarakhanid state. Therefore, contemporary historians consider the Qarakhanid state to have fallen in 1212 after the Khwarezmshahs overthrew the Qarakhanid rulers in their main capitals in Central Asia.
First: I advise you to understand the approach to pseudonyms and to discuss with me respectfully. Pseudonyms do not specify the nationality of commentators. This strange nickname is to make my personal identity more anonymous. Second: If I changed the nickname to the Sanskrit alphabet, would you call me Indian? Third: The ancient Chinese sources are the ones that mentioned that the Karakhanids were Uighurs, while the other Turkish, Persian, and Arab sources did not report that. Fourth: Not every Chinese person has a relationship with the Chinese government, as there are Chinese human rights activists.
@@Reader_curiosity Also why people think Karakhanids are not Uyghurs when Islam and even Karakhanid first king was born in Kashgar! Even Uyghur language is Karakhanid, Karakhanid is just dynasty of Karluk and Uyghur (Yagma, Chigil, Tokuz Oghuz) tribes. even Karluk themselves are Uyghurs genetic part! As like Normandy is not French government just because, they don't called themselves French... As like Irish are not Gaelic because they are Irish, what a stupid stereotypes do people have.... Karakhanids are Uyghur and that's the point

What do you think of this historical hypothesis about the origin of the Qarakhanids, based on archaeological evidence: Some scholars mark the beginning of the history of the Qarakhanids as starting with the year 840, when a new confederation in Semirechye emerged from the Qarluq, Chigil, Yaghma and other Turkic tribes after the fall of the Uyghur Khaganate. Due to these multi-tribal components of the new con- federation, the origin of the Qarakhanid ruling elite is considered to be debata- ble. The most recent theory based on numismatic evidence has been suggest- ed by Boris Kochnev, who claimed that the Qarakhanid origin related to the Igdish (Idgish) clan of the Chigil tribe that was one of the components of the Qarluq confederation.
Could you please make a documentary about the relation of turkic tribes with tribes from the Caucasus like The Lak tribe I. Dagestan. My wife, a Lak, did her genetic composition test and the results came back being 95%. Many of my dog is Tiny friends from different tribes like Arars, Dargın, Kumuic, are mostly Turks as well.

37:00 This is clearly a Muslim text, author is citing directly from the Qur'an, why is this portrayed as a tengrist, even voice acted without being cited.
Kara Khan is the widely recognized transliteration of Kara Han. If you make a video about Kara Khan in English, you better use the term that most people would understand. I really don't think this is so difficult to grasp.
That was mentioned in the video. However, I specifically put "empire" into the title to stress that the Karakhanids were the first imperial dynasty to become Muslim. The Volga Bulgars were very significant, too, but more a confederation and less a centralized empire.
@@KhansDen I would have reservations on calling the Qarakhanid as a qaghanate/imperium, like the Ghaznavids they were strong but not a qaghanate. In fact, the Volga Bulgars might have more to do with the title if the Hun royal connection claims are true. Another objection I would have would be to the "Göktürks" who actually never existed other than the modern historiography. There was a Türk Qaghanate in the sources but not a Göktürk one.
It is, I didn't have time to update the entire world. Most of the maps from 800 to 1200 I made in the past few days. Thanks for the heads up, though. Appreciated.
Satuk Bugra adopted Sunni Islam to take Samanid assistance in order to overthrow his own uncle. Also Tughrul adopted Sunni Islam to take recognition and legitimacy from Sunni Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad in order to rule Iran and Mesopotamia. Again İtil Bulgars converted to Sunni Islam to take Abbasid assistance against their overlords Jewish Khazars. All examples shows that Turkic rulers adopted Islam in order to have more political power.
Qarluqlar bu Uzbeklardir. Birinchi islomni qabul qilgan. Talas savashida Chinga qarshi muslulmonlar bilan birga yenggan.Ismoil Somoniy ham turk islom tarihchilari oguzlardan ekanin yozishgan
To state that Qarakhanids were 'Qarluq' is to greatly oversimplify the complex feudal paradigm of the region. There were the Yaghma and Chigils as well. Basically, turcologists do not agree on which group actually founded the Khaganate or where the actual power rested. To overcomplicate the matter, according to contemporary Chinese Song dynasty records, the Karakhanids were just another branch of post-imperial Uyghurs, just like Qocho and Gansu Uyghurs. On top of that, unlike Arabo-Persian Islamic literature - Karakhanid literature and later the Turki/Chagatai Uyghur literature does not give Qarluqs a more privileged position within the realm. Essentially, the Karakhanid elite referred to themselves as Türks, and if one reads Kashgari attentively, it becomes clear that to him Qarluqs, Oghuz, Uyghurs, Qipchaqs, Qirghiz and others are not Türks. Türks according to him are his people, that is Turkic people who lived in what is today south-western Xinjiang to the shores of lake Issyk-Kol in Kyrgyzstan. All in all, many groups are at play - Qarluqs, Yaghma (Toquz Oghuz), Chigils, Uyghurs and even potentially the Ashina clan.
Your information about (Kashagri only considered his people as Turks and others aren't), this is actually false, i know Arabic very well, he directly refers to Qirghiz, Uyghur, Oghuz, Yemek, Kipchak....etc tribes as being Turks. You should focus more on the contexts when he distinguishes Turks and other tribes. He isn't making other tribes out of being Turks, but referring to the dialects.....
@@HasanTemur1 Kashgari separates Türk languages from Türk people. It becomes evident when he continuously makes comparative examples in the following manner - the Turks call this this, The Oghuz say this, the Qipchaqs this, etc. This of course means that in his view while other groups speak a 'Türk' language, they are fundamentally not "Türks".
@@tursuntongra6706 Not actually true, in such cases, Kashagri means that this word is in the Oghuz dialect and like this for [other] Turks. He is saying that Oghuz use this word while other Turks use the other. anyway you can see clearly he, when mentioning Oghuz, he says (they are a tirbe of Turks), also when he mentioned Qirghiz, Kipchak.....etc If anyone knows Arabic literature very well, he could understand from the context that he isn't trying to say that Oghuzes aren't Turks. but referring to dialects of Oghuzes is different from Other Turks...... and so on
@@HasanTemur1 Honestly, I don't know what you are reading. These are some random quotes from the compendium: "I have travelled throughout their cities and steppes, and have learned their dialects and their rhymes; those of the Turks, the Turkman-Oyuz, the Cigil, the Yayma, and the Qirqiz." Another one - "The Oyuz, Qifdaq and Suvarin change every initial mim to ba’. For example, the Turks say: MAN BARDIM man bardim meaning “I went”; these groups say: BAN BARDUM". And yes he does say Oghuz Turks in other instances, because he fails to explicitly distinguish terms Turk and Turkic. This is established from context.
@@tursuntongra6706 You should learn Arabic, then you will recognize why he write these sentences. I have read his book in the original Arabic text, the way of his writing is the same as how did Arabs usd to write their literature books.
I don't understand why people are so dumb? How Karakhanid are not Uyghurs if Karakhanids originally came from Region Kashgar from local Karluk king dynasty called Yagma, Chigil actually are Modern Uyghurs from South Region! Karakhanid fought not against Uyghurs who were Qocho, they fought against themselves because Satuk Bughra Khan accepted Islam and spread Islam to whole Xinjiang with battle. cause nobody wanted to become Muslim, Khotanese, Qocho kingdom were mostly Buddhists that time. Uyghurs carry around 60-70% of Karluk blood of Karakhanid dynasty, they write in Arabic Script as Karakhanids, modern Uyghurs language is actually Remnant of Karakhanid Moghulistan Chagatai Karluk language.
@@KhansDen Any sources that Karakhanid are not Uyghurs? Why Uyghurs speak Karluk Karakhanid language, why they live in a cities as like Karakhanid, why they are Muslims, why they write on Arabic scipt as Karakhanids did? Just because Karakhanid is just Dynasty, it's consistent of Karluk Uyghur Tribes... and nothing more. Karakhanid are not a nation but just a dynasty
And predominantly Uyghurs now... Cause Kashgar capital of Karakhanid and the king of Karakhanid was born by local people of Chigil.Yagma his grandsons are also Uyghurs
Qirghiz Khanatate borders wrong. Qocho borders wrong. And most importantly Qarakhanid border evolution wrong. and what on earth is a Kimek 'Khaganate'? Karakhanids started as a polity between Kashgar and lake Issyk-Kol and from there on expanded westwards. 26:00 So who are the "True Successors" of the Orkhon Khaganates? Because frankly I do not see a "better" more "fitting" successor than the state of Qocho. If you think the titles are not there, go check again. Everything is there, titles Qaghan/Han as well as Orkhon style long epithet names of rulers. If you think there is no mention of "Türk" by some Arab or Persian, go check Qocho own written record - alongside term 'Uyghur', term Türk often is used to refer to language and people of the realm. But the real meat is that in Qocho there are actual attempts to retell events engraved in stone monuments of Mongolia on paper. Which means they passed down folk memories of past events concerning Khaganates period. On top of that, some of the descendants of the Türk El ruling strata appear much later as prominent members of the Qocho elite, one such example is the family of Tonyukuk himself. Now show me a high medieval Turkic polity where you have all of that? And I didn't even get to the language. Qocho Uyghur is basically the closest High Middle Ages equivalent of Orkhon Turkic, Qarakhanid coming second, and all together with the earlier Orkhon Türk and Orkhon Uyghur forming the Old Turkic language.
Турки придумывают себе историю наглым образом воруя чужую. Китайские летописи Сыма Цяня написаны на кыргызском языке китайскими иероглифами об этом кто нибудь знает. Далее, 40 племен кыргызов көк тюрков полностью истребили, и как они это делали вам подскажет игра кыргызов " Көк бөрү" в которой "тайказан" для көк тюрков был предназначен.
To the contrary, other contemporary Turkic states like that of the Kimek, the Kipchak-Cuman, the Oghuz and various groups in East Asia converted later.
Nope, some of them called themselves Tamgaç/Tabgaç Khan (King of China) because they ruled over the areas which were formerly ruled by the Tang empire.
@@denizucar3947 of course yes. They were using Chinese trappings including coins, titles and seals. The country’s nickname was “little China” and Middle Chinese was one of the administrative language. By the way the succeeding Western Liao dynasty was also Chinese
Might be that they took over some chinese influence, but they identified themselves as turkic for sure 😂. Karakhanids self designastion was Türk hakanlığı.

I do not know why some Turkish historians ignore this pivotal event in the Middle Ages.
Of course, this event contributed to increasing the external power of the Kingdom of Tibet and enabled it to expand externally, as well as contributing to the independence of the small Turkic states in Central Asia.
It is a historical irony that the Uyghur Khaganate played a major role in providing military assistance to the Tang Dynasty to eliminate An Lushan in exchange for paying Chinese tribute to the Uyghur Khaganate and obtaining a set of privileges.
Third: It is not possible to pass through the Samanid state quickly. Regardless of the origin of the Samanid dynasty, and the fact that some ancient historians such as Rashid al-Din al-Hamdani mentioned that they were of Oghuz Turkmen origin, I accept what is common among most of the scientific community about the Iranian origin, but when talking about the nature of the Samanid state, I will We find that Turkish influence was very large in the Samanid state, and the Samanid used Central Asian Turks in the army and state positions, as most of the leaders and soldiers of the Samanid army were Turks, and most of the governors of the regions were Turks.
Therefore, the historian Ibn Miskawayh mentioned that the Samanid state was predominantly Turkish.
Fourth: It appears from medieval historical sources that the Turkish conversion to Islam in Central Asia occurred gradually and slowly, and we do not have an accurate history about its true beginnings, but it may have begun as early as the middle century AD in the Samanid era and reached its peak in the Qarakhanid era, where the great mass conversion of Central Asian Turks took place. .
But most Turks in Eurasia remained non-Muslims until the era of the Chinggisid Empire.
The Qarakhanids tried to spread Islam among the Turks using military force, until the agreement between the Qarakhanids and Sultan Ghaznavid stipulated that the Qarakhanids would complete their conquests against the non-Muslim Turks.
We should mention the Qarakhanid history objectively, whether in favor of them or against them, so that the Turkish peoples in the future avoid these negatives. Although the Qarakhanids tolerated the Nestorian Church, they were exclusionary against the Buddhists, as Mahmoud Al-Kashgari mentioned that they destroyed the Uighur temples.
We may find a political justification according to the context of ancient times, because the Qarakhanids tried to unite the Turks politically by imposing religion on them, but this is not enough and does not justify intolerance.
Fifth: The Qarakhanids played a pivotal role in the land Silk Road trade, and contemporary historical studies have concluded that the thesis that claims the collapse of the land Silk Road after the collapse of the Tang dynasty and its return to work in the Chinggisid Empire is incorrect.
Historical studies in Chinese records have found that the Qarakhanid dynasty sent dozens of regular trade missions to the Chinese Song dynasty during about more than a century and a half, starting from the tenth century AD. It is even mentioned that in some Qarakhanid trade missions, they were led by a Turkish merchant woman. The Qarakhanid merchant woman negotiated with The Song Emperor and Chinese officials at the Chinese court.
Even when the land Silk Road from the Gansu region was threatened by Tangut attacks, the Karakhanids chose another land route through the territory of the Kingdom of Tibet.
Unfortunately, the issue of historical relations between the Turks and Tibet is not discussed much.
Sixth: The Qarakhanids created a new Turkish civilization in Central Asia. They built new cities, supported trade, built schools for education, and a new architectural style appeared in their era, etc. Therefore, the most prominent Islamic monuments in Transoxiana and Central Asia before the Chingizid era still date back to the Qarakhanid era.
They contributed to laying the foundations of Turkish Islamic culture, as they translated the Qur’an into the Turkish language, and the first Sufi movements influenced by Turkish culture appeared in their time. The first books of Turkish literature, influenced by Islamic culture, and so on, appeared in their time.
History books mentioned that the Qarakhanids forced some of the Nomadic Qarluq tribes to settle in the countryside and practice agriculture.
Seventh: Qarakhanid rule lasted four centuries in three stages:
The first stage: 250 years ago and was completely independent.
The second stage: 50 years, during which its eastern part was completely independent, while its western part belonged to the Seljuk Empire.
The third stage: It lasted about 70 years and was subject to the Qara Khitai state.
Although ancient historians consider that the Qarakhanid state fell after the attack of the Qara Khitai, who allied with the Qarluq tribes in 1141, the Qarakhanid dynasties continued in the main centers of Central Asia according to the same pattern as the Qarakhanid state. Therefore, contemporary historians consider the Qarakhanid state to have fallen in 1212 after the Khwarezmshahs overthrew the Qarakhanid rulers in their main capitals in Central Asia.

even Karluk themselves are Uyghurs genetic part!

Deepest condolences to you and family and thank you for such a great information. Greetings from Tucson Arizona!
Thank you Irene, and hiya back to Arizona. I appreciate your kind words.
What do you think of this historical hypothesis about the origin of the Qarakhanids, based on archaeological evidence:
Some scholars mark the beginning of the history of the Qarakhanids as starting with the year 840, when a new confederation in Semirechye emerged from the Qarluq, Chigil, Yaghma and other Turkic tribes after the fall of the Uyghur Khaganate.
Due to these multi-tribal components of the new con- federation, the origin of the Qarakhanid ruling elite is considered to be debata- ble.
The most recent theory based on numismatic evidence has been suggest- ed by Boris Kochnev, who claimed that the Qarakhanid origin related to the Igdish (Idgish) clan of the Chigil tribe that was one of the components of the Qarluq confederation.
Could you please make a documentary about the relation of turkic tribes with tribes from the Caucasus like The Lak tribe I. Dagestan. My wife, a Lak, did her genetic composition test and the results came back being 95%.
Many of my dog is Tiny friends from different tribes like Arars, Dargın, Kumuic, are mostly Turks as well. Thank you
First Turkic Muslim Empire was Ghaznavid Empire (962-1186 AD) whose capital was in Ghazni Afghanistan.
The Karakhanids became Muslim three decades before the Ghaznavid Empire was even created.
Карлуки после Таласской битвы 751 года начали оседлать и принимать ислам, сам Махмуд Газни был тюрком карлуком.

Kara Khan is the widely recognized transliteration of Kara Han. If you make a video about Kara Khan in English, you better use the term that most people would understand. I really don't think this is so difficult to grasp.
@@KhansDen Not Khan but Hakan.
Khan is Mongol title
The English word is “Karakhanid”, the Turkish word is “Karahanlı”. The video is in English.
Are there any descendants of the Chighil tribe here? Please write me
A small correction, the first Turkic Muslim state is the Volga Bulgar Khanate, not the Qarakhanids.
That was mentioned in the video. However, I specifically put "empire" into the title to stress that the Karakhanids were the first imperial dynasty to become Muslim. The Volga Bulgars were very significant, too, but more a confederation and less a centralized empire.
@@KhansDen I would have reservations on calling the Qarakhanid as a qaghanate/imperium, like the Ghaznavids they were strong but not a qaghanate. In fact, the Volga Bulgars might have more to do with the title if the Hun royal connection claims are true. Another objection I would have would be to the "Göktürks" who actually never existed other than the modern historiography. There was a Türk Qaghanate in the sources but not a Göktürk one.

Satuk Bugra adopted Sunni Islam to take Samanid assistance in order to overthrow his own uncle. Also Tughrul adopted Sunni Islam to take recognition and legitimacy from Sunni Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad in order to rule Iran and Mesopotamia. Again İtil Bulgars converted to Sunni Islam to take Abbasid assistance against their overlords Jewish Khazars. All examples shows that Turkic rulers adopted Islam in order to have more political power.

To state that Qarakhanids were 'Qarluq' is to greatly oversimplify the complex feudal paradigm of the region. There were the Yaghma and Chigils as well. Basically, turcologists do not agree on which group actually founded the Khaganate or where the actual power rested. To overcomplicate the matter, according to contemporary Chinese Song dynasty records, the Karakhanids were just another branch of post-imperial Uyghurs, just like Qocho and Gansu Uyghurs. On top of that, unlike Arabo-Persian Islamic literature - Karakhanid literature and later the Turki/Chagatai Uyghur literature does not give Qarluqs a more privileged position within the realm. Essentially, the Karakhanid elite referred to themselves as Türks, and if one reads Kashgari attentively, it becomes clear that to him Qarluqs, Oghuz, Uyghurs, Qipchaqs, Qirghiz and others are not Türks. Türks according to him are his people, that is Turkic people who lived in what is today south-western Xinjiang to the shores of lake Issyk-Kol in Kyrgyzstan. All in all, many groups are at play - Qarluqs, Yaghma (Toquz Oghuz), Chigils, Uyghurs and even potentially the Ashina clan.
Your information about (Kashagri only considered his people as Turks and others aren't), this is actually false, i know Arabic very well, he directly refers to Qirghiz, Uyghur, Oghuz, Yemek, Kipchak....etc tribes as being Turks.
You should focus more on the contexts when he distinguishes Turks and other tribes. He isn't making other tribes out of being Turks, but referring to the dialects.....
@@HasanTemur1 Kashgari separates Türk languages from Türk people. It becomes evident when he continuously makes comparative examples in the following manner - the Turks call this this, The Oghuz say this, the Qipchaqs this, etc. This of course means that in his view while other groups speak a 'Türk' language, they are fundamentally not "Türks".
@@tursuntongra6706
Not actually true, in such cases, Kashagri means that this word is in the Oghuz dialect and like this for [other] Turks. He is saying that Oghuz use this word while other Turks use the other.
anyway you can see clearly he, when mentioning Oghuz, he says (they are a tirbe of Turks), also when he mentioned Qirghiz, Kipchak.....etc
If anyone knows Arabic literature very well, he could understand from the context that he isn't trying to say that Oghuzes aren't Turks. but referring to dialects of Oghuzes is different from Other Turks...... and so on
@@HasanTemur1 Honestly, I don't know what you are reading. These are some random quotes from the compendium: "I have travelled throughout their cities and steppes, and have learned their dialects and their rhymes; those of the Turks, the Turkman-Oyuz, the Cigil, the Yayma, and the Qirqiz." Another one - "The Oyuz, Qifdaq and Suvarin change every initial mim to ba’. For example, the Turks say: MAN BARDIM man bardim meaning “I went”; these groups say: BAN BARDUM". And yes he does say Oghuz Turks in other instances, because he fails to explicitly distinguish terms Turk and Turkic. This is established from context.
@@tursuntongra6706
You should learn Arabic, then you will recognize why he write these sentences. I have read his book in the original Arabic text, the way of his writing is the same as how did Arabs usd to write their literature books.
You mean Zhetysu (Jetisu, Yedisu)
I don't understand why people are so dumb?
How Karakhanid are not Uyghurs if Karakhanids originally came from Region Kashgar from local Karluk king dynasty called Yagma, Chigil actually are Modern Uyghurs from South Region!
Karakhanid fought not against Uyghurs who were Qocho, they fought against themselves because Satuk Bughra Khan accepted Islam and spread Islam to whole Xinjiang with battle.
cause nobody wanted to become Muslim, Khotanese, Qocho kingdom were mostly Buddhists that time.
Uyghurs carry around 60-70% of Karluk blood of Karakhanid dynasty, they write in Arabic Script as Karakhanids, modern Uyghurs language is actually Remnant of Karakhanid Moghulistan Chagatai Karluk language.
Source for your claims, especially the DNA study?
@@KhansDen Any sources that Karakhanid are not Uyghurs?
Why Uyghurs speak Karluk Karakhanid language, why they live in a cities as like Karakhanid, why they are Muslims, why they write on Arabic scipt as Karakhanids did?
Just because Karakhanid is just Dynasty, it's consistent of Karluk Uyghur Tribes...
and nothing more.
Karakhanid are not a nation but just a dynasty
Khaqanids.
Karahanlılar Türkleri Karluklar Dokuz Oğuz'lar
Kara Kahanids were predominately KARLUK TURK TRIBES
And predominantly Uyghurs now...
Cause Kashgar capital of Karakhanid and the king of Karakhanid was born by local people of Chigil.Yagma his grandsons are also Uyghurs
That was mentioned like a dozen times in the video.
You still dream empires😂
Qirghiz Khanatate borders wrong. Qocho borders wrong. And most importantly Qarakhanid border evolution wrong. and what on earth is a Kimek 'Khaganate'? Karakhanids started as a polity between Kashgar and lake Issyk-Kol and from there on expanded westwards. 26:00 So who are the "True Successors" of the Orkhon Khaganates? Because frankly I do not see a "better" more "fitting" successor than the state of Qocho. If you think the titles are not there, go check again. Everything is there, titles Qaghan/Han as well as Orkhon style long epithet names of rulers. If you think there is no mention of "Türk" by some Arab or Persian, go check Qocho own written record - alongside term 'Uyghur', term Türk often is used to refer to language and people of the realm. But the real meat is that in Qocho there are actual attempts to retell events engraved in stone monuments of Mongolia on paper. Which means they passed down folk memories of past events concerning Khaganates period. On top of that, some of the descendants of the Türk El ruling strata appear much later as prominent members of the Qocho elite, one such example is the family of Tonyukuk himself. Now show me a high medieval Turkic polity where you have all of that? And I didn't even get to the language. Qocho Uyghur is basically the closest High Middle Ages equivalent of Orkhon Turkic, Qarakhanid coming second, and all together with the earlier Orkhon Türk and Orkhon Uyghur forming the Old Turkic language.
So why do they use the Persian language? Do they not have a language?
Турки придумывают себе историю наглым образом воруя чужую. Китайские летописи Сыма Цяня написаны на кыргызском языке китайскими иероглифами об этом кто нибудь знает.
