12:17 A little correction: They did not break into _"Emirates"_ (which is ruled by an Emīr, an Arabic term), but into *"Beyliks"* (a principality ruled by a Bey) which are the Turkic equivalent of an Emirate.
The Seljuk Turks do not have Persian origins. However, when they ruled over iranian lands, the people naturally spoke persian so they used persian in the court as well, while the language of the rulers and the army remained Turkic.
By the way, there is a region in Moldova called Gagauzia where the people speak a Turkic language and practice Christianity. Therefore, Turkey is not the westernmost region where a Turkic language is spoken.
Wow, this video contains numerous historical errors. I believe more thorough research should have been conducted before making such definitive statements.
Seljuks wans't Iranian. Yet some of them will keep saying it theirs because it ruled them for a loong time. Seljuks was oblivously Turkic, you can search it.
@@user-4xislb Its like calling Roman Empire as Roma-Gaul Empire. So stupid but when it comes to Turks everyone doing their best to diminish their success.
Slight misconception - the Byzantines never referred to themselves as "Byzantine". Up until the Ottoman seizure of Constantinople in 1453, they had referred to themselves as "Roman", and were considered to be a literal continuation of the Roman Empire. The term "Byzantine" came about much later, as a means of distinguishing the predominantly Greek influenced Byzantine Empire from Western Rome, which was predominantly Latin influenced.
Ottomans started to reffer themselves as the "Ottomans" in just the last 100 years of their empire. In Europe, the state was referred to as the Turkish Empire or simply just Turkey. This actually explains how the current turkeys got their name before the Republic of Turkey was even established. Turks, on the other hand, referred to their empire as the Eternal State or Sublime State. After the French Revolution, they changed the offical name to "Sublime State of Osman", or Ottomans, to add a more nationalist expression rather than a random state with sublime or ethernal characteristics. Turks still use the term "Rum" when talking about Greeks. That is the Arabic version of the word Roman. Although it is used only for Greeks now, it was used for all Orthodox Christians living in the empire's borders. Therefore, another name of the Balkans is Rumelia. The origin of both words is Turkish. It makes sense that the Turks would refer to the Greeks as Romans because the Greeks also called themselves that way. Before Greece was founded and European states wanted to establish a state with Hellenic features, the Greeks called themselves Roman and their own language as Romaika (literally meaning Roman language). In fact, stories are told that those who came to liberate the island of Crete called to the children playing there as Greeks, but the children did not understand what was said and replied as "We are Romans"
@@bblunder Good summation but we differentiate between Roman and Greek. We call the Greeks Yunan (Ionian). Rum are the Orthodox people who still live in Anatolia and Thrace.
@@bblunderConstantine Palaiologos himself in his last speech proclaimed Constantinople the "refuge for Christians, hope and delight of all HELLENES". George Phrantzes, History, 3.6 I can give you many examples were a nation have a different origin from its initial name, so use your small brain to comprehend it: 1)Bulgarians were initially a Turkic nation but gradually Slavicised so nowadays they consider themselves a Slavic and not a Turkic nation , 2)Moghuls had a Turco-Mongolic name but it was an Indian Empire in language, ethnicity and culture, 3)Russians name is derived from the Rus' people, who were a Swedish tribe, and where the three original members of the Rurikid dynastry came from but nowadays they are an East Slavic nation! 4)Safavids were initially a Turkic/Kurdish dynasty but gradually their nation and whole dynasty became fully persianised! Same way the 5)Eastern Roman Empire initially was a Roman Empire but gradually fully Hellenized in every aspect like language, culture and also main ethnicity. The Eastern "Romans" had nothing to do with the Italic/Latin people of Rome as they spoke Greek, their ethnicity were Greek and their culture was mainly Greek. Byzantine Greeks, were the decendants of the same Greek Hellenistic populations who inhabited the heartland of the later Eastern "Roman" Empire: modern Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Sicily, South Italian Peninsula and portions of southern Bulgaria, Crimea, and Albania, Levante, coastal Syria,North Libya (Cyrenaica),parts of Egypt,Greek Decapolis of Israel etc So conclusively, because the colonisation of the eastern part of the ""Roman" empire with Latin/Roman/Italic was literally MINOR, so the "Eastern Romans" were Greeks in almost every aspect and typically "Romans" ONLY by name!
@@GrecoByzantine1821you are right being Roman is not make you Latin... That's why Greeks hated the term Roman because wokes only link Romans to Italians Wich not supposed to do
They were not emirate… But Beklik or Beylik… The Turkic title of Lord, is Bek in ancient original version, like Özbek and the country Özbekistan (Original Lord The Real Lord Land is thee English translation of Özbekistan) and Bey in modern day Turkish, and in the Renaissance, it was already Beg or Beğ (with the Turkish soft G like the Gh of Through ) which gave the modern Bey…
Öz does not mean original, real or genuine. That is a meaning shift in Anatolia. The real meaning of Öz is "self". So Özbek means "A person who is lord of himself".
A video on how the Finnish, Estonians and Hungarian got to where they are would be cool! As a Hungarian myself, our origin story is still very much steeped in mystery.
From what I know as an American without much of a connection to Hungary but interested in its history, the way Finnish and Estonian got there is different from how Hungarian got there, and there are some competing theories about how Hungarian got to the Urals, which everyone pretty much agrees eventually the ancestors of magyars were in the Urals and eventually settled the carpathian (the whole story with Arpad, minus some exaggerations here and there). I've heard tho that somewhat similar to Turkish, at one point what would eventually become Hungarian was in the steppes around Mongolia, and over time the magyars just migrated West and eventually got to around the Urals.
Hungarian has to be the most interesting story there is-it sounds like a LotR kinda thing in how they got where they got. The only thing more fictional is that we pretend “Finnish” exists and it’s not just a sea for Japan to fish in
The Eastern Romans never called themselves Byzantine. That term didn't start to be used until at least a century after Constantinople fell to the Ottomans.
To hide truth and history. They still do that around the world today. Look at fake Macedonia state. Kosovo state. Where do those fake state pop up from? Those who rule the masses globally. And Turkye modern one is made by them also, its a fake state political and brought down the ottomans. Ottoman and modern Turkye are two different things. Two different forces
Ottoman Turkish was never spoken all across Anatolia. Even Sultans in Istanbul never spoke it. Colloquial Turkish was spoken by Anatolian Turks, even Sultans spoke Turkish in their palace, with a heavy Istanbulite accent though. Ottoman Turkish was a highly Arabized and Persianized form of Turkish and it was only a written language used in official documents and literary works by elites.
Modern türkçe Osmanlı türkçesinin sadeleştirilmiş halidir. Hatta iki kez sadeleştirilmiştir. İstersen Tanzimat döneminde yapılan sadeleştirmeyi araştırabilirsin; “Yeni Osmanlıca” dedikleri dile. Arapça kökenli olup daha önce kullanılmayan kelimeler türetilmiş mesela.
10:05 The byzantines and their contemporaries actually referred to themselves as roman until the empire collapsed, the term "byzantine" was only used starting in the 19th century
The Hittites called themselves Hatti - fundamentally the same nation but the predominant language switch from the Old Hattian one to a newer Indo-European language carrying the original Hatti language as a substrate. This is part of why the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family is so different from the other PIE-descended languages; we don’t even know how to classify the earlier language used.
i wish they found a written scythian inscription or text bc scholars say it is iranian mix people according to the Heredot said they(scythians) write a language like the persians but this is not a academic proof or view. they can write in iranian alphabet and speak a mixture of turkish and influenced by persian likewise uzbeks and tajiks.
The Hungarian language also had a very similar story on how it ended up being a significant linguistic anomaly in the heart of Europe itself, having originated from the Magyar people, who also happened to be from around the similar area in Central Asia as the Turkic peoples, migrating incredibly far from their original homeland. And that's how we got an Uralic language amidst a vast zone of Indo-European languages.
An 18 hour non-stop flight between Turkey and Mongolia? Lol. It's more like 6 hours. 18 hours is enough time to cross the Pacific from San Francisco to Singapore. That would also be one of the longest flights in the world.
The video is just full of wrong information. Just the drawn borders of the Sultanate Of Rum is ridicilous! Thats like a small province when compared to the real borders.
To be slightly fair, I see It's more like 8 hours from Istanbul to Ulaanbaatar for a non-stop flight. That makes me wonder whether Patrick somehow mistyped 18 when typing up his script. But yes, either way they're a lot closer than an 18-hour flight. It's similar in terms of distance, flight time, and latitudes covered as between New York, US and Paris, France.
According to Chinese sources the Xiongnu were also proto Turkic speakers, they were around 3th century BCE, many centuries before the rise of the gokturk empire, in fact the Ashina clan, the ruling dynasty of the Göktürks was part of the Xiongnu confederation. Even the Huns may have been Turkic speakers or a mix of Turkic and Proto-Mongolic, but we will never know for sure.
The consensus is that the Huns were Turks of Oghuric affiliation, mostly based on credible studies confirming that the vast majority of attested Hunnic names as well as all Hunnic sub-clans (Akatziri, Onogurs, Utigurs, Sabirs, Bulgars, Saragurs, Baranjars, Kutrigurs) are of evident Oghur Turkic origin Recorded Hunnic names of Turkic origin : Aigan = moon prince; from Turkic aï & can Alp Ilutuer / Ilteber = heroic chieftain; from Turkic alp & iltäbär Althias = six; from Turkic Alti Akkagas = white rock; from Turkic ak & kayač Atakam = elder shaman; from Turkic ata & kam Balach = calf; from Turkic Malaq Berik = strong; from Turkic Berık Basik = governor; from Turkic Bârsiğ Bleda = wise; from Turkic Bildä Bochas = either gullet; from Turkic Boğuz; or bull, from Buqa Dengizich = ocean-like, little sea; from Turkic teɲez & dêɲri; or simply, great lake Donat / Donatu = horse; from Turkic Yonat Edeco = good; from Turkic Ädgü Ellac = to rule; from Turkic el & lä Emmedzur = horse lord; from Turkic Ämäcur Eskam / Esqam = companion of the shaman; from Turkic eŝ & kam Erekan / Kreka = pure princess; from Turkic Arïqan Ernakh / Hernac = small man, heroic man; from Turkic Ernäk Iliger = prince man; from Turkic ilig & är Karadach = black mountain; from Turkic Qaradağ Karaton = black cloak; from Turkic Qarâton Kursik = either noble; from Turkic Kürsiğ; or belt-bearer, from Qurŝiq Kutilzis = blessed herald; from Turkic kut & elči Mundzuk = bead; from Turkic Munčuq Oebarsius / Aybars = moon leopard, from Turkic Aïbârs; or dun leopard, from oy & bars Oldogan / Odolgan = either red falcon; from Turkic al & dogan; or chubby, from Tolgun Onegesius = either twelve; from Turkic oneki; or tumen chief, from Oniyiz Oktar / Uptar = brave; from Turkic Öctär Ruga / Rua = wise man; from Turkic Ögä Turgun = still, calm; from Turkic Turkun Uldin = six; from Turkic Alti Zolban = shepherd star; from Turkic Čolpan
Huns originate from the Xiongnu which in fact is a sinicization of the original Hiung-nu a rendering of "Hun" the Xiongnu connection to the Jie Later Zhao and Yueban makes the Xiongnu's Turkic origins clear
I've usually seen Xiognu being considered Yeniseian which is not Turkic but rather closely related with... Apachean languages of Southwestern US of all things??? (Well, the ruling elite of Xiognu that is, as a whole they would be a mix of Iranian, Turkic, Monglic, Yeniseian, Tungusic and who knows what else)
There are four(plus one) main branches of Turkic people: The Oghuz(Who moved to southwest; Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, and various others in europe like Gagauz), The Karluks(who moved to southeast; Uzbeks, Uighurs of China etc.), The Kipchaks(the northwestern Turks, like Tatars, Kazakh, Kırgız people etc) and the Siberian Turks like the Yakuts, Altai people etc. There is also the long distant member, the Oghurs, of which some extinct notable nomadic entities like the Huns were believed to be the member of but nowadays the only surviving member of this group are the Chuvash people of northwestern Russia. In short, Turks did not completely moved out of the broader regions they started off, there are still Yakuts, Tuvans, Altaians, Dolgans etc. living in the same places where the proto-Turks took off their migration.
7:40 Only modern countries with Turkic-origin are shown but regions under other countries are missing: from Yakutsk/Russia to Xingang/China to Crimea-Caucacus and to Khorasan/Iran
Tatarstan,Baskhirstan, Balkaria,karachay,Khakassia,Chuvashia,Altai republic,SAKHA(yakutia),Crimea and about a dozen other areas......you missed a LOT....
We are a huge nation, and our history isn't start in Göktürks. We have history which 4000 years went to the all steppes with only Turkic language. And with our relatives (Altaic) and our far relatives (Uralic,Amerindian etc.) we've 20000 year-history maybe
Goturks were the forefather of Modern day Turkiye, came from Far East, Mongoloid phenotype. Not the other way around. Never heard any Euroasian tribe from central Asia migrating back to Far Eastern Asia. Not even Alexander the Great went that far to Mongolia steppe.
If i'm not mistaken, Oghuzes(from them Turks in Turkey came from) in 8th century already were in Syrdarya, Aral and near to Caspian sea region. After falling of Oghuz yabghu state in middle of 11th century they migrated to the east(or some of them, who were seljuks)
Cool video. Just a little correction though, those small Turkish principalities in Anatolia after dissolution of the Seljuks were called "beylik" not "emirate"
Europeans had homelands other than the places they colonized, and they would establish colonies, forts and cities in the places they discovered and collect the resources there and bring them to where they actually live (Iberian penuinsila, France or Great Britain). As for Turkic migrations, Turks left their homeland compleatly and migrated to other places. Just like the Indo-European migrations or Migration Period. That is citing two very different phenomena. Turkoman is the word to define Oghuz Turks. As every other language family, Turkic language family has branches as well: Oghuz, Kipchak and Siberian. Azerbaijanis, Turkish and Turkmens are from the Oghuz Turks. If you jumped to the 10th or 11th century when they started to diversify into different peoples you would realize they would have mention themselves as Turkomans. But the word Turkoman slowly lost its meaning in the later Turkish beyliks (kingdoms) and empires and became a word to describe nomadic Turkish/Oghuz Turks alongside with the word Yoruk.
Ottoman Turkish was never spoken all across Anatolia it was just a language of the court and nobility the spoken language of the common population on the other hand was Old Anatolian Turkish
@@DaveSCameron The term "Ottoman Turkish" is actually used for the language of the upper class. Only the Sultan and people around him spoke that language. If was the governmental language. The people of Anatolia could not understand their language as Ottoman Turkish was beyond recognizable due to It being influenced by Greek, Arabic, Persian, and Balkan languages. The people of Anatolia spoke what we call "Anatolian Turkish" wich is the modern day Turkish.
This is a useful video, so thank you. Turks had already spread over a wide geography as Huns and Proto-Turks in Central, Northern and Western Asia, Anatolia and Europe for a long time. Some Turkic people, who were few in number and moved away from their homeland, were assimilated in Europe. We were spreading over a wide geography, not just Mongolia, but it is true that our language is of Asian origin. In addition, Turks consist of three separate groups: Oghuz, Kipchak and Karluk peoples.
We have to admit, those Mongoloids tribes on horsebacks from Far East are quite bad ass. If China didn‘t built Great Wall, they will naturally going south, but they got no choice thoses days but go west wards instead.
Sure turks are spread everywhere but the earliest known turks definitely originate someplace around the mongolian steppe/altai mountian range. Very interesting how many people migrated from this one place alone.
@@merrick6484 True, but the Mongols were always fewer in number than the Turks, and as you can see from the diversity of the Turkic peoples, there were many Turks in the Mongol empire. The main reasons for the migration of Turks may be the lack of agriculture, seasonal difficulties, animal husbandry and horse breeding, tent culture and expansionism. Because before the Mongolian invasion, there was a migration of tribes and some Turkic people had gone to Europe long ago.
@@HAkan-hi1ng Incorrect. They are Uralic, as I said. I don't know why some Hungarians see themselves as Turkic, but Uralic, Turkic, Mongolic and othe peoples were just neighbors and got influenced from one another more or less. They probably intermixed with Turkic people, but Hungarians and Finns are not Turkic peoples. Their languages are not even related
@@Himes5564 They ARE closer, but due to language and areal contact and not because they're related. Hungarians has many Turkic and Iranian loan words and another similarity is that both Turks and Hungarians were horseback riders, probably also due to contact.
@@brillitheworldbuilderThere is no such thing as uralic. They were all Turkic lands. There is no point of "creating a race" just because there were geographical limitations causing slight language difference between same people.....
To me it’s wild that there is still debate about whether or not Turkey is part of Europe when around 100 years ago it was literally labeled the “sick man of europe” and stuff like the Byzantine Empire being seen as European.
it is because of values, religion and culture not history or geography. and if you are an outsider you will be only welcome if you are strong and turkiye isnt strong obviously. yet..

@@DaveSCameron No they were Turks. Ruling elites were Persianized to some extent, however, vast majority of Seljuks were simply ordinary Turkmens. Today what we call Turks are actually western Turkmens and the very name Turk actually means all Turkic populations.
@@jirachi-wishmaker9242 Its not for any Indian kings, its especially for Aryan kings of India. Aryans are not native to India, they invaded from Central Asia. The Native population of India is Dravidian, meaning nost of the dark-skinned population of India. And Turks were the ones who almost completely conquered the Aryans of Central Asia. Persians are Mesopotamians who invaded Aryan kingdoms that were built in todays Iran. Since they replaced the Aryans they are more related to other neighbouring populations like Iraqis.
It's interesting thing to note is that the mongol empire accelerated turkic migration to Europe, Anatolia and the Middle-East like on a scale that was never seen before both either from fleeing from the mongols or as foot soldiers occupying the land for the mongols. This had a important impact in Anatolia as it led to huge numbers of turko-mongols coming to the region which formed as an important power base for the eventual Ottomon rise to power.
We don’t see, in history, any mongol tribe or “turko-mongol”(?) tribe settled in Anatolian peninsula. The term “Turko-mongol” is used for Timurid Empire and its army.
@@ozanbayrak562 Turko-mongol refers to a mix of turkic or mongol tribes. There are accounts of tartars (which are turko-mongols) settling in Anatolia and would later be the turning point for Bayezid's war against Timur.
@@ozanbayrak562 It didn't exist before but now they did but they are few? Make up your mind. Anyways my broader point was that mongol empire caused a huge number of steppe people either turkic, mongol or both into further migrating into Anatolia.
@@googane7755 Mongol army caused turkic oghuz tribes migrate to west. There is not such a term “Mongol migration”. Mongols were a big army with horses; just male soldiers. If we talk about Anatolia, at the Beylik Era after the mongol invasion, we just see the Beylik of Eratna. The ruler was a governor of mongol Ilhanid Empire, maybe the successors. But we can’t say the same about the people, or very few portion of the population might come from mongol homeland.

Did the native Anatolian/Greek speaking people intermarry with the Turkic settlers from the east? Or did the Anatolian people just became Turkic culturally over a long time? Also did the Turks bring Islam to the peninsula or did they have their own central Asian religions and was replaced by Islam later on?
1- Yes they were inter-marriafes between Greeks armenians and Turks. 2- Yes it was a long process that took around 500 years to turkify ‘most’ of the region 3- They were Muslims before the conquest of Anatolia but they still had lots of pagan traditions and that never neded even today, also not all the Turks became Muslim overnight it also took centuries and some of them became christian.
RUM and Ottomans had diffrent policies against minorities Sultanate of Rum that controlled the inner anatolia prefer to assmylate the greek speaking native anatolians (not to confused with armenians and greeks, proto anatolians are diffrent people) meanwhile Ottomans generally didint really cared about the culture of the people in they nation, so greeks and armenians continue to live in anatolia until 20th century with minimal amount of intermarriages unlike most people know (muslim women was prohibited to marry with a christian and Turks and christian minorities lived in diffrent districts most of the time) when we look at the genetic make up of modern Turkish people it is usually mix of proto anatolian and Oghuz Turk dna

This was quite heavyweight stuff, Patrick, so thanks for taking such a video on, even though there were a couple of slip-ups in the shape of the 'Hitties' - although, as I have already remarked, that might have been a bid on your part to create a neologism for those people! - and the re-drawing of the map to build a land bridge between the Mediterranean and Black Seas. None too long ago my older brother made that flight from Istanbul to Ulaanbaatar and back again for a holiday in Mongolia, so it was good to see a reference thereto! I can see that there are those who have already commented that an interesting follow-up video to this would be how those European Uralic peoples, the Estonians, Finns and Hungarians got to where they are now, so I'd just like to add my name to those commenting thus.
The video make it seems as if Greek speakers and Armenians and Assyrians and Kurdish and Arabic speakers (et cetera) were never a thing in the whole of Anatolia and/or disappeared a very long time ago. While in fact whether many still exist (in spite of the effort to make them disappear or erase their language) or their eradication was relatively quite a close event historically (no need to clarify about the expulsion of the Greeks or erasure of the Armenians and with them the effort against of the Assyrians I guess, or the current day Kurdish fight).
So, the real Turkic peoples came from Mongolia. Turkic peoples like Turks from modern Turkey, Azerbaijian, Turkmenistan, Kirgistan, Turkestan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Estonia and Finnland! Good job
Don't ask an Azerbaijani -- they pretend they were already there and the Armenians only arrived in the Caucasus in the 19th century and that was somehow Russia's fault. These people are deluded.
I couldn't agree more. They even changed their name from Shirvan to Azerbaijan to appropriate Iranian history and justify their atrocities against minorities

Rourans were proto-mongolic and the han texts from china claim rourans made up a tribe of the xiongnu (a proto-turkic predecessor) confederation. Also turkic people’s made good portion of genghis khan’s mongol empire. So its worth noting turkic and mongolic nomads have traditionally always intermixed as much as they fought each other.

I want to add that ottoman Turkish is much like Latin, it was an artificial language, a mix of Arabic Turkish and persian, the common Turk spoke Turkish and didn't speak ottoman Turkish. It's the common Turkish that evolved eventually into modern Turkish but specifically from Istanbul.
that's why scholars often call the language the actual Roman people spoke "Vulgar Latin" when it was just the commonly spoken tongue as opposed to the embroidered literary language
There were Scythians in Anatolia long before the westward migration from central asia. So the Turks were indigenous to Anatolia rather than only migrating bunch of nomads. This migration story paves the academic grounds for "throw-this-goat-shepherds-back-to-Central-Asia" project.
There are millions of Turkic speakers in China, Afghanistan, Iran, in Russia, all the way to Europe. In Iran alone there are more than 20 million Turkic speakers. The Westernmost native speakers are probably the Gagauz Turks in Moldova. In Russia they're very wide spread, from Saka/Yakut in the East to Chuvash in the West to Crimean Tatars in the South. In China it's not just the Uyghur Turks but there are Turkic speaking people in other parts of China as well. The reason for such a wide range of Turkic speakers is that Turkic Khans established Empires which assimilated the local people. Some of the Turkic influences disappeared over time such as the Mughals in India.
"Turks" didnt all migrate to Turkey. Literally 99% of ALL of central asia today is Turk like Turkmenistan,Uzbekistan,Kazakhstan,Krygzstan and like 8 Russian federal republics and many regions of western China.

Fun fact... "Ottoman" is a mispronunciation of "Osman", I believe it was the British who got it wrong, and Europe stuck with it. Another fun fact... The bird called turkey is named as such bc Europeans buying this foreign poultry from the Turks, who basically ran the silk road and sold goods across it, associated the giant bird with the Turk merchants. Funnily, we Turks call the same bird Hindi, named for the merchants who sold them in India. India=Hindistan in turkish.
Um, Historic records along with genetic testing show the original Turk tribes originated from in the region with the city Tashkent. The Turks colonized Eastern Europe along with Most of the middle east and India. The Turks in Turkey are apart of the same tribe that founded Turkmenistan. Making the Turks in Turkey, Azerbaijani and Turkmenistan being the largest ethnic group of Turks. And Turkey and Azerbaijani having a 1 nation 2 countries policy between the two countries.
I heard about "Turkestan" denoting roughly the area between the Caspian Sea and the Gobi Desert, where Turkic languages are spoken. I once travelled on the "Turksib", the "Turkestan-Siberian Railway" going north-south from Russia to Kazakhstan. At some point Turkestan was also the name of a Soviet Republic. Which means that the borders of a lot of today's -stan countries around there are relatively recent.
More likely, Turkestan during the Mongol empire - southern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc. The Turko-Mongols came from Mongolia to (Iran) Turkmenistan. But the northern forest-steppe, western Siberia and Russia before the Mongols looked like Tatarstan and was called the Polovtsian steppe (Desht i Kipchak).

The Seljuk Turks do not have Persian origins. However, when they ruled over iranian lands, the people naturally spoke persian so they used persian in the court as well, while the language of the rulers and the army remained Turkic.
By the way, there is a region in Moldova called Gagauzia where the people speak a Turkic language and practice Christianity. Therefore, Turkey is not the westernmost region where a Turkic language is spoken.

Slight misconception - the Byzantines never referred to themselves as "Byzantine". Up until the Ottoman seizure of Constantinople in 1453, they had referred to themselves as "Roman", and were considered to be a literal continuation of the Roman Empire. The term "Byzantine" came about much later, as a means of distinguishing the predominantly Greek influenced Byzantine Empire from Western Rome, which was predominantly Latin influenced.
Ottomans started to reffer themselves as the "Ottomans" in just the last 100 years of their empire. In Europe, the state was referred to as the Turkish Empire or simply just Turkey. This actually explains how the current turkeys got their name before the Republic of Turkey was even established.
Turks, on the other hand, referred to their empire as the Eternal State or Sublime State. After the French Revolution, they changed the offical name to "Sublime State of Osman", or Ottomans, to add a more nationalist expression rather than a random state with sublime or ethernal characteristics.
Turks still use the term "Rum" when talking about Greeks. That is the Arabic version of the word Roman. Although it is used only for Greeks now, it was used for all Orthodox Christians living in the empire's borders. Therefore, another name of the Balkans is Rumelia. The origin of both words is Turkish.
It makes sense that the Turks would refer to the Greeks as Romans because the Greeks also called themselves that way. Before Greece was founded and European states wanted to establish a state with Hellenic features, the Greeks called themselves Roman and their own language as Romaika (literally meaning Roman language). In fact, stories are told that those who came to liberate the island of Crete called to the children playing there as Greeks, but the children did not understand what was said and replied as "We are Romans"
@@bblunder Good summation but we differentiate between Roman and Greek. We call the Greeks Yunan (Ionian). Rum are the Orthodox people who still live in Anatolia and Thrace.

I can give you many examples were a nation have a different origin from its initial name, so use your small brain to comprehend it: 1)Bulgarians were initially a Turkic nation but gradually Slavicised so nowadays they consider themselves a Slavic and not a Turkic nation , 2)Moghuls had a Turco-Mongolic name but it was an Indian Empire in language, ethnicity and culture, 3)Russians name is derived from the Rus' people, who were a Swedish tribe, and where the three original members of the Rurikid dynastry came from but nowadays they are an East Slavic nation!
4)Safavids were initially a Turkic/Kurdish dynasty but gradually their nation and whole dynasty became fully persianised!
Same way the 5)Eastern Roman Empire initially was a Roman Empire but gradually fully Hellenized in every aspect like language, culture and also main ethnicity. The Eastern "Romans" had nothing to do with the Italic/Latin people of Rome as they spoke Greek, their ethnicity were Greek and their culture was mainly Greek.
Byzantine Greeks, were the decendants of the same Greek Hellenistic populations who inhabited the heartland of the later Eastern "Roman" Empire: modern Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Sicily, South Italian Peninsula and portions of southern Bulgaria, Crimea, and Albania, Levante, coastal Syria,North Libya (Cyrenaica),parts of Egypt,Greek Decapolis of Israel etc
So conclusively, because the colonisation of the eastern part of the ""Roman" empire with Latin/Roman/Italic
was literally MINOR, so the "Eastern Romans" were Greeks in almost every aspect and typically "Romans" ONLY by name!
Modern Greeks are decendants of East romans.. the east Romans are majority native Greeks and a bit greeknized latins

They were not emirate… But Beklik or Beylik… The Turkic title of Lord, is Bek in ancient original version, like Özbek and the country Özbekistan (Original Lord The Real Lord Land is thee English translation of Özbekistan) and Bey in modern day Turkish, and in the Renaissance, it was already Beg or Beğ (with the Turkish soft G like the Gh of Through ) which gave the modern Bey…
Öz does not mean original, real or genuine. That is a meaning shift in Anatolia. The real meaning of Öz is "self". So Özbek means "A person who is lord of himself".

Shout yes, I'd love to hear the basics of it, you Magyars etc. 👍 👌☘️🙏
From what I know as an American without much of a connection to Hungary but interested in its history, the way Finnish and Estonian got there is different from how Hungarian got there, and there are some competing theories about how Hungarian got to the Urals, which everyone pretty much agrees eventually the ancestors of magyars were in the Urals and eventually settled the carpathian (the whole story with Arpad, minus some exaggerations here and there). I've heard tho that somewhat similar to Turkish, at one point what would eventually become Hungarian was in the steppes around Mongolia, and over time the magyars just migrated West and eventually got to around the Urals.
Hungarian has to be the most interesting story there is-it sounds like a LotR kinda thing in how they got where they got. The only thing more fictional is that we pretend “Finnish” exists and it’s not just a sea for Japan to fish in

The Eastern Romans never called themselves Byzantine. That term didn't start to be used until at least a century after Constantinople fell to the Ottomans.

The Hungarian language also had a very similar story on how it ended up being a significant linguistic anomaly in the heart of Europe itself, having originated from the Magyar people, who also happened to be from around the similar area in Central Asia as the Turkic peoples, migrating incredibly far from their original homeland. And that's how we got an Uralic language amidst a vast zone of Indo-European languages.

According to Chinese sources the Xiongnu were also proto Turkic speakers, they were around 3th century BCE, many centuries before the rise of the gokturk empire, in fact the Ashina clan, the ruling dynasty of the Göktürks was part of the Xiongnu confederation. Even the Huns may have been Turkic speakers or a mix of Turkic and Proto-Mongolic, but we will never know for sure.

The consensus is that the Huns were Turks of Oghuric affiliation, mostly based on credible studies confirming that the vast majority of attested Hunnic names as well as all Hunnic sub-clans (Akatziri, Onogurs, Utigurs, Sabirs, Bulgars, Saragurs, Baranjars, Kutrigurs) are of evident Oghur Turkic origin

Huns originate from the Xiongnu which in fact is a sinicization of the original Hiung-nu a rendering of "Hun" the Xiongnu connection to the Jie Later Zhao and Yueban makes the Xiongnu's Turkic origins clear
I've usually seen Xiognu being considered Yeniseian which is not Turkic but rather closely related with... Apachean languages of Southwestern US of all things???
(Well, the ruling elite of Xiognu that is, as a whole they would be a mix of Iranian, Turkic, Monglic, Yeniseian, Tungusic and who knows what else)
This is accepted as the fact in Turkic countries bcs that just makes sense
Constantinople originates not from Anatolia, but originates on the other side of the strait.
There are four(plus one) main branches of Turkic people: The Oghuz(Who moved to southwest; Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, and various others in europe like Gagauz), The Karluks(who moved to southeast; Uzbeks, Uighurs of China etc.), The Kipchaks(the northwestern Turks, like Tatars, Kazakh, Kırgız people etc) and the Siberian Turks like the Yakuts, Altai people etc. There is also the long distant member, the Oghurs, of which some extinct notable nomadic entities like the Huns were believed to be the member of but nowadays the only surviving member of this group are the Chuvash people of northwestern Russia.
In short, Turks did not completely moved out of the broader regions they started off, there are still Yakuts, Tuvans, Altaians, Dolgans etc. living in the same places where the proto-Turks took off their migration.

Europeans had homelands other than the places they colonized, and they would establish colonies, forts and cities in the places they discovered and collect the resources there and bring them to where they actually live (Iberian penuinsila, France or Great Britain). As for Turkic migrations, Turks left their homeland compleatly and migrated to other places. Just like the Indo-European migrations or Migration Period. That is citing two very different phenomena.
Turkoman is the word to define Oghuz Turks. As every other language family, Turkic language family has branches as well: Oghuz, Kipchak and Siberian. Azerbaijanis, Turkish and Turkmens are from the Oghuz Turks. If you jumped to the 10th or 11th century when they started to diversify into different peoples you would realize they would have mention themselves as Turkomans. But the word Turkoman slowly lost its meaning in the later Turkish beyliks (kingdoms) and empires and became a word to describe nomadic Turkish/Oghuz Turks alongside with the word Yoruk.
Oghuz-Karluk, Kipchak-Sibir and Oghur. Main three branches of Turkic.

It's interesting thing to note is that the mongol empire accelerated turkic migration to Europe, Anatolia and the Middle-East like on a scale that was never seen before both either from fleeing from the mongols or as foot soldiers occupying the land for the mongols. This had a important impact in Anatolia as it led to huge numbers of turko-mongols coming to the region which formed as an important power base for the eventual Ottomon rise to power.
We don’t see, in history, any mongol tribe or “turko-mongol”(?) tribe settled in Anatolian peninsula. The term “Turko-mongol” is used for Timurid Empire and its army.
@@ozanbayrak562 Turko-mongol refers to a mix of turkic or mongol tribes. There are accounts of tartars (which are turko-mongols) settling in Anatolia and would later be the turning point for Bayezid's war against Timur.
@@googane7755 you are mentioning very few numbers of people.
@@ozanbayrak562 It didn't exist before but now they did but they are few? Make up your mind. Anyways my broader point was that mongol empire caused a huge number of steppe people either turkic, mongol or both into further migrating into Anatolia.
@@googane7755 Mongol army caused turkic oghuz tribes migrate to west. There is not such a term “Mongol migration”. Mongols were a big army with horses; just male soldiers. If we talk about Anatolia, at the Beylik Era after the mongol invasion, we just see the Beylik of Eratna. The ruler was a governor of mongol Ilhanid Empire, maybe the successors. But we can’t say the same about the people, or very few portion of the population might come from mongol homeland.
9:15: Pretty sure they were “Hittites,” not “Hitties” (unless that’s a joke that went over my head).
just a note:
they werent called "hitties" xd
they were called "hittites"

Why does Türkiye like to randomly identify its ancestors?
There is no such thing. You think this way because you are a foreigner and were totally oblivious to the Turkish history, that's all.
I just watched a documentary on public television in America that was showing that people from Ireland or of Irish decent originally came from protic Turkey. This was very facinating to me as I am of Irish decent but have a deep love of Turkiye & have traveled there twice on extended trips from Istanbul to the Hatay region (Antakya & Samandag). Great article!

As a Turk, I was tired of videos telling about the historical change of Anatolian civilizations under the name of the history of Turks. Even though it only tells about the Gokturk Khanate, it is a very successful video.
turkey isnt turkic its just turkified same with azerbaijan
just to make it clear it was kind of ambiguous in what u said, i wasnt sure if u were just kinda skipping over it and knew this or u didnt, but the name "Byzantine Empire" was only used after its fall by historians, and has come under scrutiny in recent years as well as to whether we should even use it. they always referred to themselves as roman and as the (eastern) roman empire.

Also Turks have upto %22 East Asian ancestry. And medieval Turkics are all Eurasian.

Wasn't Armenians mentioned in 9:20 by accident or to avoid offending the Turkish audience?
Did the native Anatolian/Greek speaking people intermarry with the Turkic settlers from the east? Or did the Anatolian people just became Turkic culturally over a long time? Also did the Turks bring Islam to the peninsula or did they have their own central Asian religions and was replaced by Islam later on?
1- Yes they were inter-marriafes between Greeks armenians and Turks.
2- Yes it was a long process that took around 500 years to turkify ‘most’ of the region
3- They were Muslims before the conquest of Anatolia but they still had lots of pagan traditions and that never neded even today, also not all the Turks became Muslim overnight it also took centuries and some of them became christian.
RUM and Ottomans had diffrent policies against minorities
Sultanate of Rum that controlled the inner anatolia prefer to assmylate the greek speaking native anatolians (not to confused with armenians and greeks, proto anatolians are diffrent people) meanwhile Ottomans generally didint really cared about the culture of the people in they nation, so greeks and armenians continue to live in anatolia until 20th century with minimal amount of intermarriages unlike most people know (muslim women was prohibited to marry with a christian and Turks and christian minorities lived in diffrent districts most of the time) when we look at the genetic make up of modern Turkish people it is usually mix of proto anatolian and Oghuz Turk dna
Fascinating. I visited Istanbul a few years ago and was amazed at the beauty and culture. Such a cosmopolitan city with a variety of people. I noticed many blondes with blue eyes and some had more Asian features (eyes). I imagine this is the result of being at the cross roads of many great empires and cultures over the centuries.

18 hour direct flight??? Where did you get that from?!
This was quite heavyweight stuff, Patrick, so thanks for taking such a video on, even though there were a couple of slip-ups in the shape of the 'Hitties' - although, as I have already remarked, that might have been a bid on your part to create a neologism for those people! - and the re-drawing of the map to build a land bridge between the Mediterranean and Black Seas. None too long ago my older brother made that flight from Istanbul to Ulaanbaatar and back again for a holiday in Mongolia, so it was good to see a reference thereto! I can see that there are those who have already commented that an interesting follow-up video to this would be how those European Uralic peoples, the Estonians, Finns and Hungarians got to where they are now, so I'd just like to add my name to those commenting thus.
The states in Anatolia after the Mongols came and went weren't Emirates, they were Beyliks, do not call them Emirates
Türklerin en büyük özelliği bulunduğu coğrafyaya adapte olabilmesidir.
Like the gypsies
Türklerin diğer bir özelliğide bulundukları coğrafyaya hükmetmeleridir. Bu sebeple 900 yıl Pers ve 400 yıl Arap milletlerine hükmetmiştir.
The video make it seems as if Greek speakers and Armenians and Assyrians and Kurdish and Arabic speakers (et cetera) were never a thing in the whole of Anatolia and/or disappeared a very long time ago. While in fact whether many still exist (in spite of the effort to make them disappear or erase their language) or their eradication was relatively quite a close event historically (no need to clarify about the expulsion of the Greeks or erasure of the Armenians and with them the effort against of the Assyrians I guess, or the current day Kurdish fight).
Amazing video!!! Thank you for explaining and doing it justice 👏

Even Japan takes 12 hours (Istanbul-Tokyo route). I think he wanted to say 8.

Giant time gaps killed the integrity of this video. The arrival of Turks in Anatolia is much much larger tale with a lot to explain.
I think if you’d explain the internal qualification of turcic languages, it could complete your video. Anatolian Turkish

@NameExplain Actually in all languages, country name is Türkiye. Please correct this; if you don't make it consciously.
So, the real Turkic peoples came from Mongolia.
Turkic peoples like Turks from modern Turkey, Azerbaijian, Turkmenistan, Kirgistan, Turkestan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Estonia and Finnland! Good job
Don't ask an Azerbaijani -- they pretend they were already there and the Armenians only arrived in the Caucasus in the 19th century and that was somehow Russia's fault. These people are deluded.
I couldn't agree more. They even changed their name from Shirvan to Azerbaijan to appropriate Iranian history and justify their atrocities against minorities
The Name of this country is now Türkiye!
5:46 Old Turkic belongs to the Siberian (Northeastern) branch of Turkic language, while modern Turkish belongs to the Southwestern (Oghuz). Therefore Old Turkic is more like a great uncle of modern Turkish.
1:07 By that logic Australia is in Europe because they compete in Eurovision lol. Great video btw 👍.
You should explain us ,how The USA got The America.Where did they started?
You forgot about the whole bunch of Tatar and Yakut people in Russia nowadays
Well, the short answer is "Steppe ponies"
Very true 😂😂😂
Yanlış cevap. O atlar Mogollarda da vardı. Ancak mogollar fethettikleri hiçbir yerde kalıcı olmadılar. Türkler kalıcı olmayı başarabildiler. Türklerde başka kültürlerle kolayca kaynaşmayı beceren bir genetik var. Bunun kökenine inmek lazım.
Rourans were proto-mongolic and the han texts from china claim rourans made up a tribe of the xiongnu (a proto-turkic predecessor) confederation. Also turkic people’s made good portion of genghis khan’s mongol empire. So its worth noting turkic and mongolic nomads have traditionally always intermixed as much as they fought each other.
1:10 Turkish government protests the Eurovision for political reasons. Turkey is diverse but we are mostly European people. Even after WW1, quarter of Turkish citizens originated from Caucasia and the Balkans.
Romanus Diógenes assembled an army more crowded than a hundred thousand not 40 thousand. The Seljuk soldiers were thrilled at the sight of the Roman army. But Sultan Alparslan gave them a tough speech and led them to battle.
Hitties? Surely, you mean "Hittites"
The ancestral homeland of the Turks is not Mongolia
Does anyone else hear the eyerr of end of his sentences 😃

7:00 correction, Turks migrated in all directions, but those who migrated to the east and south of their urheimat dissolved into the Chinese without leaving a trace. And those who migrated to the North are now known as Yakuts. Only those who migrated to the west had a chance to play a role in the world’s history
I want to add that ottoman Turkish is much like Latin, it was an artificial language, a mix of Arabic Turkish and persian, the common Turk spoke Turkish and didn't speak ottoman Turkish. It's the common Turkish that evolved eventually into modern Turkish but specifically from Istanbul.
that's why scholars often call the language the actual Roman people spoke "Vulgar Latin" when it was just the commonly spoken tongue as opposed to the embroidered literary language
There were Scythians in Anatolia long before the westward migration from central asia. So the Turks were indigenous to Anatolia rather than only migrating bunch of nomads. This migration story paves the academic grounds for "throw-this-goat-shepherds-back-to-Central-Asia" project.
There are millions of Turkic speakers in China, Afghanistan, Iran, in Russia, all the way to Europe. In Iran alone there are more than 20 million Turkic speakers. The Westernmost native speakers are probably the Gagauz Turks in Moldova. In Russia they're very wide spread, from Saka/Yakut in the East to Chuvash in the West to Crimean Tatars in the South. In China it's not just the Uyghur Turks but there are Turkic speaking people in other parts of China as well. The reason for such a wide range of Turkic speakers is that Turkic Khans established Empires which assimilated the local people. Some of the Turkic influences disappeared over time such as the Mughals in India.
Kyrgyzstan is the same way
They originated from northwestern mongolia, and they're now in central asia
"Turks" didnt all migrate to Turkey. Literally 99% of ALL of central asia today is Turk like Turkmenistan,Uzbekistan,Kazakhstan,Krygzstan and like 8 Russian federal republics and many regions of western China.
Just like kyrgyz people migrated to modern day kyrgyzstan 2000 years ago kicking out saka people
@@joebidet2050 krgyz didnt come to modern day Kyrgyzstan region til the 1300s ad(less than 800 years ago) Saka didnt leave the general area til the Khotan kingdom fell in 1000ad. (Khotan Kingdom was the last Saka state in the world)

Here's another name to explain: Azerbaijan. The -jan at the end is from an Iranian suffix -akan, which also occurs in Armenian, which borrowed a lot of vocabulary from Iranian languages.
the -stan of Hayastan(Armenia) has something to do with this or it's an entirely different topic? I don't know if -jan and -stan have some correlation. thanks
Actually the modern "country" of azerbaijan was called Shirvan but stole the name of the iranian province of azerbaijan to appripriate their history and justify their invasions and genocides
@@paulochon7692 I bellive the name comes from a rulers name. Hazar Bey Can. Can is a title used on always any one. In Japan it is San, Iran, Yan, Turkic Can. Today, Canim.
@@MarcusLangbart "-stan" is an Iranian suffix, with an Indic cognate "-sthan" as in Rajasthan, from the same root as "state". A lot of stans are countries or states, but Bimaristan is a hospital.
And Constantinople was not in Asia Minor; it was across the sea from that shore. Get your details right!
Turkc or Ural/Altaic is not only a language group but also a racial group. All Turkic, Ural Altaic speaking people has the same ancestors and originates from the same place.
As do native Americans, all related.
Fun fact... "Ottoman" is a mispronunciation of "Osman", I believe it was the British who got it wrong, and Europe stuck with it.
Another fun fact... The bird called turkey is named as such bc Europeans buying this foreign poultry from the Turks, who basically ran the silk road and sold goods across it, associated the giant bird with the Turk merchants. Funnily, we Turks call the same bird Hindi, named for the merchants who sold them in India. India=Hindistan in turkish.
Um, Historic records along with genetic testing show the original Turk tribes originated from in the region with the city Tashkent. The Turks colonized Eastern Europe along with Most of the middle east and India. The Turks in Turkey are apart of the same tribe that founded Turkmenistan. Making the Turks in Turkey, Azerbaijani and Turkmenistan being the largest ethnic group of Turks. And Turkey and Azerbaijani having a 1 nation 2 countries policy between the two countries.
I heard about "Turkestan" denoting roughly the area between the Caspian Sea and the Gobi Desert, where Turkic languages are spoken. I once travelled on the "Turksib", the "Turkestan-Siberian Railway" going north-south from Russia to Kazakhstan. At some point Turkestan was also the name of a Soviet Republic. Which means that the borders of a lot of today's -stan countries around there are relatively recent.
More likely, Turkestan during the Mongol empire - southern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc. The Turko-Mongols came from Mongolia to (Iran) Turkmenistan. But the northern forest-steppe, western Siberia and Russia before the Mongols looked like Tatarstan and was called the Polovtsian steppe (Desht i Kipchak).
