Turkmun (Hazaragi: تورکمون) or Turkmani (تورکمنی) is a main and almost a large tribe of the Hazara people that originates from the Turkman valley in present-day Parwan province, Afghanistan. They have their own dialect of Persian known as Hazaragi.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in the early 16th century, mentioned this tribe of Hazaras in his autobiography as "Turkoman Hazaras".[1]
Etymology
[edit]The etymology of the Turkmani tribe of Hazara appears to be geographically based on the name of the valley rather than indicating a connection with the Oghuz Turkoman people, with whom there is no evidence of relationship.[4] This is further supported by Hazara tribal names are often derived from geographic locations or named after individuals, such as the Muhammad Khawaja, Uruzgan, Yek Aulang, or Timuri and Jaghatu Hazara tribes[5]
