The Origin Myths of the Turkic Peoples
The Turkic peoples have left behind numerous origin myths, ranging from the Gaoche/Tiele wolf legend to the Kazakh tale of Alasha Khan. This paper offers an overview and comparative study of these origin myths, classifying them into the narratives of three major Turkic groups: the early Turkic peoples of eastern Inner Eurasia, the medieval Turkic peoples of pre-Mongol Inner Eurasia, and the »Turko-Mongols« of the post-Mongol period. The comparati…
The Historical Meanings of the Term Tatar
This article is a critical and comprehensive examination of the historical meanings and uses of the term Tatar, drawing on a broad range of primary sources. It focuses on identifying to whom and by whom the term was applied across different historical periods. In the pre-Mongol period, Tatar denoted a nomadic people of eastern Mongolia, as recorded in Türk, Uyghur, and Qirghiz inscriptions, Chinese histories, and works like Maḥmūd al-Kāshgharī’s…
Turkic Identity in Mongol and Post-Mongol Central Asia and the Qipchaq Steppe
The Turkic identity that first emerged with the rise of the Türk empire in the mid-6th century did not encompass all Turkic-speaking nomads in the Inner Asian world. The Türks, who founded the first Turkic nomadic empire, reserved the term Türk for themselves. In turn, the Uighurs and the (Yenisei) Qirghiz, who succeeded the Türks in the Mongolian steppes, did not identify themselves as Türk. As a result, after the final collapse of the Türk empi…
The Kazakh Khanate
The Kazakh Khanate was a Chinggisid nomadic state that ruled the eastern Qipchaq Steppe ( Dasht-i Qipchāq ), a steppe zone that roughly corresponds to modern-day Kazakhstan, during the post-Mongol period as one of the most important successor states of the Mongol Empire and the last reigning dynasty of the Chinggisids. The Kazakh Khanate branched off from the Ulus of Jochi, whose people ( ulus ) were called Uzbek s in 15th-century Central Asia. T…
Some remarks on the Turkicisation of the Mongols in post-Mongol Central Asia and the Qipchaq Steppe
The Turkic nomads of the Mongol successor states in Central Asia and the Qipchaq Steppe arose from the merging of various Turkic groups and the Mongols. The former had consisted of heterogeneous elements that did not coalesce into a single entity sharing a common identity and historical consciousness. They thus did not constitute a uniform majority in relation to the more cohesive Mongols. In terms of tribal and genetic compositions, the Turkic n…
The Political Vagabondage of the Chinggisid and Timurid Contenders to the Throne and Others in Post-Mongol Central Asia and the Qipchaq Steppe

A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Historical Sources and y-dna Studies with Regard to the Early and Medieval Turkic Peoples
In the past 10 years, geneticists have investigated the genetic variation of modern Turkic populations as well as ancientdnaof the Xiongnu and others. The accumulated findings of these surveys, however, have not been adequately noted by specialists in Inner Asian history. In order to fill this gap, we conducted a comparative analysis of textual information and genetic survey data on the early and medieval Turkic peoples. First, we examined the in…
Were the historical Oirats “Western Mongols”? An examination of their uniqueness in relation to the Mongols
Cet article examine la singularité des Oïrats par rapport aux Mongols pour reconsidérer la pratique consistant à les désigner comme des “Mongols occidentaux”. Les Oïrats, qui ne faisaient pas partie des Mongols originels menés par Gengis Khan, sont devenus, après l’éclatement de l’empire mongol, les Dörben Oïrat, une confédération nomade principalement composée de groupes non-mongols. Les tests ADN portant sur le chromosome Y des Kalmouks et des …
