Turkic Peoples

Devlet-i Aliye-i Osmaniye (Ottoman Turkish: دولت عليه عثمانيه‎ Devlet-i ʿAlīye-i ʿOsmānīye; Turkish: Osmanlı Devleti; English: Ottoman Empire) was an Anatolian based Oğuz Türkmän empire with Central Asian origins. Its founder and namesake, Ataman (Osman), was a member of the Qayı tribe of the Oğuz Türkmän, who had migrated from the East. Ruling from 1299 C.E. to 1922 C.E., their lasting influence on the Anatolian landscape, in the Middle East, in Europe, and even in Central Asia could not be overstated. They would be succeeded in the region by Türkiye (Republic of Turkey).

The Duha (Tuvan: Туха; Russian: Духа) are a Turkic people that inhabit Northern Mongolia. They are likely the descendants of the Duqa clan. 

The Duqa or Tuxsi (Chinese: 獨孤; Kharakhanid: تُخسِى) were originally a Xuŋa tribe that defected to the Särbi. They played an important role in the politics of Inner Asia. One of their descendants would come to establish the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). 

The Däwlet-i Türk (Arabic: دولة الأتراك) was a sultanate established by the mamluk  emir Aybäg in the year 1250 C.E.

The Halayuntlığ or Halat (Common Script: Halayuntlığ; Halat; IPA: /hɑlɑ.juntlɨɣ/; /hɑlɑt), also known as the Alat, Alatçin, Halatçin, and/or Ulayundluğ (Chinese: 賀賴, 曷剌, 遏羅支, 葛羅枝牙; Kharakhanid: اُوﻻيُنْدْلُغْ), were originally a Xuŋa tribe; however, they gradually branched out, joining a variety of nomadic confederations. Their modern descendants are now scattered across the Asian continent in countries such as Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China.

The Höbün (Chinese: 宇文, IPA: *wɑ-mun) were a Mongolized clan of Xuŋa origin during Late Antiquity.

The history of the Kök Türük (Old Turkic: 𐰛𐰇𐰜⁚𐱅𐰇𐰼𐰰‎, Chinese: 突厥), the sixth century Turkic nomadic confederation that would come to play a pivotal role in the history and culture of the Turkic people.
