Talk:Chaghataite khanate

Chaghatai or Chagatai or Jagatai was a son of Jenghiz or Genhiz or Jinghiz Khan. To call his ulus or empire the Chaghatai or the Chagatai Khanate is like calling Jenghiz Khan's conquests the "Jenghiz Empire". "Ogodite" is commonly used as adjective for Ogodei, another son of Jenghiz. "Jinghizids" or "Jenghizids" is also used for the descendants of Jenghiz, or for those who claimed descent from him. The adjective for Chaghatai can properly be "Chaghataite" or "Jaghataite". Hence, Chaghataite's empire can and perhaps should be called the "Chaghataite Khanate".


 * Normal English usage has the entity as the "Ulus Chaghatay" or the "Chaghatay Khanate". This is how they appear, for example, in BF Manz (1989) The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane, Cambridge University Press. Furthermore, this is the first time I have ever encountered "Chaghataite" in English as opposed to "Chaghatayid"--KASchmidt 03:02, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Article Duplication
It looks like these two articles: Chagatai Khanate and Chaghataite khanate are about the same person. I added the merger tags at the top and will add them to the Duplicate articles. Even though this article has more content the other is included in the and looks like the naming issue is addressed at the top so I indiacte that the articles should be merged that direction.
