Draft:Uzbek tribes

Traditionally, it is believed that there are 92 clans and tribes of Uzbeks in the old sense of the term of nomadic Desht-i-Kipchak origin. As the modern historian T.Sultanov has established, these 92 "tribes" include "the names of the majority of Turkic and some non—Turkic ethnic groups that inhabited Central Asia at that time".

There is a legend that 92 people went to Medina, where they took part in the war of the Prophet Muhammad against the kafirs and were converted to Islam by Saint Shah-i Mardan. Of these 92 people, according to legend, the "Uzbek" tribes supposedly originated, which are also called in the text by the common name ilatiya.

To date, more than 18 lists of 92 Uzbek tribes are known, and all of them are compiled on the territory of Transoxiana, that is, the oases of the Central Asian basins of two rivers: Syr Darya and Amu Darya. The earliest list dates back to the XVI century, and the latest to the beginning of the XX century. One of the lists was recorded by N. V. Khanykov, who was in Bukhara in 1841.

Analyzing the lists of Uzbek tribes, it can be noted that most of them begin with the names of three tribes: Ming, Yuz and Qyrq.

There was also the Desht-i Qipchak Uzbek tribe Uyshun (Uysun), whose groups are known in the Tashkent and Samarkand oases, traces their origin to the Wusuns. Among Uzbeks, the Usun tribe is considered one of the most ancient among 92 Uzbek tribes and enjoyed certain privileges.

One of the lists of 92 Uzbek tribes compiled in Transoxiana lists tribes that lived in the oases of Central Asia long before the conquest of the region by Sheibani Khan. For example, in the list of manuscript 4330.3 from the collection of the Institute of Oriental Studies of Uzbekistan, you can find such types as: barlas, katagan, kipchak, uz, naiman, etc.

The poet Alisher Navoi in his works written in the XV century mentioned the ethnonym "Uzbek" as the name of one of the ethnic groups of Mawara al-Nahr.

The poet of the XVII century Turdy wrote about the ethnonym Uzbek as a unifying name for 92 tribes in Central Asia.
