Turks, originally a nomadic people from Central Asia, established several empires, including the Seljuk Empire and later the Ottoman Empire, which was founded in Anatolia by Turkish ruler Osman in 1299.
In the second half of the first millennium CE, Turkic peoples were gradually streaming into most of Central Asia from their original homeland in the Altai mountains of western Mongolia. They gradually displaced or assimilated both the settled and nomadic Iranian-speaking people.
The ancestors of the modern day Turks originally lived in and near present-day China. Chinese historical records show that the nomadic peoples of the north, including the Turks, played a significant role in Chinese history. [1] Today, seven Turkic language-speaking ethnic minorities still live in China.
The Ottomans first became known to the West in the 13th century when they migrated from their homeland in Central Asia westward to the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum in Anatolia. The Ottoman Turks established a beylik in Western Anatolia under Ertugrul, the capital of which was Söğüt in western Anatolia.
According to Ottoman tradition, the family originated from the Kayı tribe branch of the Oghuz Turks, under Osman I in northwestern Anatolia in the district of Bilecik, Söğüt. The Ottoman dynasty, named after Osman I, ruled the Ottoman Empire from c. 1299 to 1922.
Answer and Explanation: Turkey was founded as its own country in 1923 after the Turkish War of Independence, but before that, it was part of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire ruled in Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and southeastern Europe, and Turkey was right in the middle of it all.
South Siberian Turks (near Altai): The original Turkic people are likely from Manchuria. So, yes the Turkic people are from China. However, most modern Anatolian Turks have only about 15% (some 30%) East Asian DNA in average.
Iran and Turkey are not Arab countries and their primary languages are Farsi and Turkish respectively. Arab countries have a rich diversity of ethnic, linguistic, and religious communities. These include Kurds, Armenians, Berbers and others. There are over 300 million Arabs.
Turks from Turkey as all nations in the world are of very mixed origin. Same goes for Greeks, Poles, Brits, and all other nations. In Turkish genes, you will find the traces of Turks from Central Asia, Greeks, Caucasian ethnicities, Tatars, Jews, Arabs, Persians, and Slavs.
The Turks and Germans were equally distant to all three Mongolian populations. These results confirmed the lack of strong genetic relationship between the Mongols and the Turks despite the close relationship of their languages (Altaic group) and shared historical neighborhood.
Mongolians are not Turkic peoples, they are Mongolic. But Turkic and Mongolic people are closely related. Modern Turkic groups have partially mixed with Caucasoid tribes (mostly Iranian and Slavic groups). The Turkey Turks are about 15 to 30% Mongoloid/Turkic in average.
Firstly, in the 1960s and 1970s many came to Germany because the Thracian tobacco industry was affected by a severe crisis and many tobacco growers lost their income. Between 1970 and 2010, approximately 40,000 Western Thrace Turks arrived in Western Europe, most of which settled in Germany.
Between 1710 and 1764 the islands were colonized by Spain, France and Britain. Slaves on the Turks and Caicos Islands saw the opportunities proffered by the traffic of sailing boats and a significant number of them boarded unattended boats, sailing away from their masters.
The land occupied by the Turks was known as the Ottoman Empire from the 1300s until 1922. Following World War I and the fall of the Ottomans, the republic of Turkey (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti) formed, taking on the name that had long referred to that region.
Arabs in Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Arapları, Arabic: عرب تركيا) refers to the 1.5-5 million citizens and residents of Turkey who are ethnically of Arab descent. They are the third-largest minority in the country after the Kurds and the Circassians and are concentrated in a few provinces in Southeastern Anatolia.
The Lebanese government considers those people that identify as coming from Lebanon as Arabs, even though many are not descended from people from the Arabian Peninsula. Minority populations that are not Arab include the Armenians as they identify as coming from elsewhere.
If you mean the languages, they are not at all similar, apart from the fact that both languages have “borrowed” vocabulary from Arabic (and, indeed, apart from borrowed vocabulary, neither is remotely similar to Arabic either).
Origins of Japanese and Turkish language family traced back 9000 years. A vast Transeurasian language family that contains the Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Turkish and Tungusic languages has had its origins traced back 9000 years, to early farming communities in what is now north-east China.
Probably at least 5-6% of the Turks are of Slavic origin. And the main sources of Slavic origin among the Turks are: the emigration of Bulgarians from the Balkans to Western Anatolia during the Byzantine period.
A study combining linguistic, genetic and archaeological evidence has traced the origins of the family of languages including modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian and the people who speak them to millet farmers who inhabited a region in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago.
The ruins of the city of Harran, called Haran (Hebrew: חָרָן, Ḥārān) in the Hebrew Bible, might lie within present-day Turkey. Haran first appears in the Book of Genesis as the home of Terah and his descendants, and as Abraham's temporary home.
The Ottoman Empire sided with Germany in World War I (1914–18); postwar treaties dissolved the empire, and in 1922 the sultanate was abolished by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who proclaimed the Republic of Turkey the following year.
The earliest recorded inhabitants of Anatolia were the Hattians and Hurrians, non-Indo-European peoples who lived in Anatolia as early as c. 2300 BC. Indo-European Hittites came to Anatolia and gradually absorbed the Hattians and Hurrians c. 2000 – c. 1700 BC.
