Turkic Peoples

The Onoğurs (Chinese: 雍屈, 恩屈; Greek: Ὀνόγουροι) were a confederation of Oğuric speaking tribes. Initially under the rule of the Xuŋa, they would later become a component of the Tägäräk confederation. The Çŏvaş are their descendants and the only people that still speak an Oğuric language. 

The Oğuz (Old Turkic: 𐰆𐰍𐰔; Kharakhanid: ٱغُز; Ottoman: اوغوز) are a tribe of Oğuz-speaking people. Historically, the Oğuz sub-tribes practiced Tengrism; however, by the end of the 12th century C.E., they had mostly converted to Islam. Following their conversion, they would be known as the Türkmän. 

The Qayığ (Qaraxan: قَيِغْ, IPA: /*qɑjɨːɣ) are an Oğuz sub-tribe whose descendants would go on to establish the Devlet-i Aliye-i Osmaniye.
