History
The Karluks (also Qarluqs, Qarluks, Karluqs, Old Turkic: 𐰴𐰺𐰞𐰸, Qarluq, Persian: خَلُّخ, Khallokh, Arabic: قارلوق Qarluq) were a prominent nomadic Turkic tribal confederacy residing in the regions of Kara-Irtysh (Black Irtysh) and the Tarbagatai Mountains west of the Altay Mountains in Central Asia. Karluks gave their name to the distinct Karluk group of the Turkic languages, which also includes the Uzbek, Uyghur and Ili Turki languages. Karluk languages Religion Islam Related ethnic groups Toquz Oghuz and Basmyl Modern: Uzbeks, Uyghurs, Hazaras Karluks were known as a coherent ethnic group with autonomous status within the Göktürk khaganate and the independent states of the Karluk yabghu, Karakhanids and Qarlughids before being absorbed in the Chagatai Khanate of the.[citation needed] They were also called Uch-Oghuz meaning "Three Oghuz". Despite the similarity of names, Mahmud al-Kashgari's Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk wrote: "Karluks is a division of nomadic Turks. They are separate from Oghuz, but they are Uzbeks like Oghuz." Ilhanate's Rashid al-Din Hamadani in his Jami' al-Tawarikh mentions Karluks as one of the Oghuz (Uzbek) tribes. Kafesoğlu (1958) proposes that Özbek might be the Karluks' equivalent of the Göktürks' political term Kök Türk.Modern descendants of the Karluks place: Uzbekistan (Surkhandarya), Uyghurstan (Kashgar), Khazarstan (Balkh). 37.110.215.190 (talk) 07:19, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
