Introduction. The purpose of the present work is to give a picture of the distribution of the Turkish peoples in Afghanistan on the basis of the knowledge obtainable from all the scattered sources about the country and from material collected by myself in the countr3- in 1935.' I t is important to determine the features of the Turkisli ~ o p u l a t i o nof Afghanistan, as n-e here find the southern boundaries of the Turkish-speaking peo1)les. These bounclaries are still alnlost unknown, though I hopr to have given the main features in this work. The definite demarcation of the people- and languagel)ounclaric1smust h o ~ ~ e v he e r left to future researches. Some people may consider it unjust to divide the Turks of Afghanistan from those of Russian Central Asia. I ail1 m a r c of this and I should have liked to malte this investigation more wide, including the country also to the north of Amu-darpa. But owing to the great difficulties in obtaining any information from these parts of the IT. S. S . R. I confined my task to Afghanistan, about the Turkish population of which country we also have the most scanty i n f ~ r m a t i o n . ~ Everyone who has done ethnological or linguistic research among the peoples of a country like Afghanistan or in Central Asia lcnowa how difficult it mag prove to get the inforillation wanted when carrying on field-work. In the present volume I have tried to collect all information available, in order to make the task easier for those who will in the future investigate the Turks of this area linguistically and ethnologically. My work may thus serve as n hasis and indicate where to find the Turlrish tribos and information ahout them in the existing literataure. ----- -- -

A han(1l)ook on the Turks has long been desired by those who (lo scientific rvol-k. I hope with my attempt a t a classification of the Turks of Afghanistan to have made this task a little easier - for only a srnall part, however, of the wide territories inhabited t y the Turks in history and at the present day. In my opinion it will he necessary to make a series of investigations like this trefore methodical research tvork can he carried on in the wide ficliis of Tllrcology. We ought to know what has been done in :I syrc~ialareit hefore we start working at a new place within it. The place-names hiwe been transcribed according to the rules of the Royal Geographical Society.

The hibliographical sources. The literature about Afg1l;lnistan is ahundant, especiallg during the years 1840-191)0, owing to the intense English and Russian political activities in Central Asia ttt that time,' hut 1:trgely inaccessible. This a s usual applies to all tlie 12ussi;tn sources. 1 dare not helieve that I have heen able to go throl~gh all thc material, as nre lack I,il,liograpllical works as a whole, except fur the cases mentioned I~elow.

Of great value to me was ARISTOV'S06% A ( ~ ~ ~ H I I C T &~I Eero H$ rrnce.~eain (On Afghanistan and its population), though it had not much information to give about the Turk population of the country.

The non-Indo-European population and languages of Afghanistan. The number of languages spolien in Afghanistan is vtlry great. This is in some degree clue tu the geograllhical position of the country. It has since the oldest time:: lwei1 a transit coluntry for 1,eoples finding their way to Inc1i:t by the most convenient road, through the nloluntain-passes of the North \Vest Frontier I'rovince of moclern India. These 1)eoples alwa~rsin some way left, their traces in language or in the peoples ~vlnich now inhahit Afghnnistan. The result is a very variegated language- and populat ion-map of the colintry to-day. This is also due to the fact that nlany of these ~ ~ c o p l ewere s - and still are - nomadic. Another reason for the variegated 1a.ngunge- ant1 popula tion-map of Afghanist an to-da y has heen pointed out hy IVKN.'According to him this fact is due to the internal policy of the different Afghan governments. Tribes loj-a1 to the government were givt.11 resents anti gifts, but tleftlateti rehcl txihes werc remc)vecl to far-off parts of the country where thcy had to live with their cattle on l ~ a dgrazing-grounds. As a n example of this IVEN nientions thitt in 1924 king Amanullah hat1 a great p:jrt of the Mangnl-tril~e,which had rebelled against him, rcmovcd from the Indian frontier to the districts to the north of IIinduknuh. Other examples may he obtained from Iven. No cloul~twe also have to take such measures into consideration when treat,ing the Turk tribes of Afghanistan. Thc most important part of the population is Iranian or IndoIranian in origin. I t has hecn investigated chiefly by G.

(1926) provides very valuable information. Other information is given I)y IV. LENTZ'a n d by ot,hers whom I do not consider necessary to enumerate here. The non-Iranian population of Afghanistan, consisting of Turk and Mongol peoples, is in linguistical and ethnological matters almost unexglorecl ' - and a n attempt a t a classification has never heen inatle. It is very characteristic that in his three works 'The races of Afghanistan' (1880), 'Introductory remarks to a n inquiry into the ethnogr:lphy of Afghanistan' (18'31) and 'An inquiry into has almost no the ethnography of Afghanistan' (1891) BELLKW infornlation regarding the Turk peoples or Turk trihes of Afghanistan. In the last work h t ~says, speaking of the Turkish population of Afghanistan ": aThe clans and sections of the Turkman and TTzt)ak tritbes have not yet I!een completecl. A complete list will he :tddt~lhereafter.,, I have not heen able to trace this list and presume it has never been pu1)lished. In many cases we cannot expect pure Turk or Mongol peoples and trilws, a s the population is mixed t11) with Indo-Iranian tllenlents. The intc.rmixt11re of foreign blootl, and often the intermixtnre of languages, is very great. I have a pootl example of this in the samples of the ITzl)ek dialect of Andkhui which 1 collrcterl in 1936.qHere the Iranian influence on the language is very strong, a fact also lrnown from Russian Turkestail with its intermixture of I r a n i ; ~tril~es.' ~~ \VP know almost nothing certain ahout the intermixture of races and languages in these territories. Information has to t)e collectetl -- ethnologically anti linguintic:dly - hut soon, if it is not to I)e too late. Pan~ir-Dialekte. 1933. ( ' f . furthrr D~rrtschtlirn Hindukaach, p. 217

The Turk peoples. I11 our days \ye find Turks in the northern parts of ilfgl~anist:kn, the southern boundary of their dissemination roughly heing the Hind~tkush. This part of the country is generally callcd Afghan 'l'urkestan or Chahar-vilayet.' There are esceptio~lsto this rule in the statement of B ~ J R N ahout L S a Turkish population in Icohistan. which is consitlereti elsenrhere. and also in the Q i z i l I ~ s h ,w h o were originally Ttirks ;inti are fount1 e v e r ~ ~ w l w r ein Afgh:~n towns, \-. p.

In smaller numbers 1%-ealso find Qazacla, Qirghizcs, Qar:~qnlpaqs,; ~ n dsome tribes trt.;itccl scparatt3ly helow. All thcsc pt.olllrs are closclg relatrtl to tllcir relatives in I3ussian Turkcstan and to some degree in North Eastern I'ersin. As n general rule, however, we must :~l\vapsexpect a mixed pol)ulation in tht1 areas trcatetl, tlic non-Turkish part of the population hoing of 3longol or Tiitlo-1S1irol)e:~1~ origin.

This work, which, like all Russian works, is difficult to obtain, contains very important facts ahout the population a s a whole in the province of Qattaghan and Haclakhshan, i. e. the north-eastern part of Afghanist;~n, with frontiers to Soviet-Russia, Chinese Turkestan ant1 British India. This part of Afghanistan is no cloubt one of the niost innccessihle parts of the country, and the general information x e possess from former travellers is scanty, though are very the early sourcPs of the 19th century, e. g. ELPHIKSTONE, interested in it.' B~RHAX-1:~)-DIS'S statements are of course not con~l)letcl,hut they ;~llowus to get a general view of the population of the country and in especial of the Turkish population. I n the folloxing I try to intlicate where we find Turks in this province, mainly following Bnrhan-ucl-Din, hut also using information from other sources. It n-ould he inttlr~sting,but heyond my task, to give all tllt. 1,opulation rrports. Thus I have treated Qattaghan and R;~(l;lkhsh:~nsep;~rately,hut the information ahout the Turk and JIonpol population is also referred to else~vherein this work. There is no possibility of getting any positive idea shout the numhcr of the Turks rwicling here with the aid of Burhan-ucl-Din. In tilt cased where thcre was any inform;ition T noted it. I n ;~c'c.ortlnncewith Burhan-ntl-Din I treat the towns and villages one hy one. 1 have not tried to notc thtl poyition of the places mentiontvt on a map, as the geographical esac'titucle of the maps tbxist~ntis not too mllc'l~to he rrlietl Hpon and great parts of the country iv still largely unsnrve;c-t!rl.

Khenjan (jb).

In Khenjan, which is a district belonging to Anderab, there are said to be no Turks. But Burhan-ud-Din notes a tribe Salengi (C~.IPH~II). which I suspect to be of Turkish origin.' A population of lIazara is also reported here. Ghori or Ghuri (dJ*).

Ghori is a place and district to the south-west of Khanabad. The population is resident but very mixed. Burhan-ud-Din notes the following nationalities: Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara, Sayidi, Afghan, I,erkhahi, Aimaq, Jamshidi, Herati, Dimirek and Kagi.' Of these the I:zheks are with certainty Turks. The Aimaqs and Jamshidis mentioned here are difficult to place but one may expect a Turkish intermixture. Baghlan

(2%. ) .

Baghlan is a district betu-een Ghuri and Khanabad. Burhan-udDin says nothing about Turks in this region, hut mentions that the popnlat ion is mixed. According to his earlier statement, however, there must he Turkman nomads in the district, as I too can say from my own ok~servations. I also ol)sel*vetlUzbeks living in the different qiilaq, cf. p. 03. Hazret-i-Imam Sshih (-lo

?L!L*).

In such a recent work a s REYSNER,'H ~ : : ~ B J I C I I J I A ( ~ ~ H H ~(Moscow ' Y ~ H 1929), the Turkman and TTzl)ek population of Afghanistan is considered to be 700,000-900,000 in all. I n another work from the same year REYSNER gives the number of YAVORSKI 200,000 Turkmans residing in Afghanistan.Qarlier, estimated all the minor peoples in Afghan Tlirkestan - Qirghizes, Turkmans, Hazaras, Iranians, Afshars, Hindus, Jews and Arabs as not more than 50,000. This number is no doubt insufficient. The task of fixing the numlwr of Turlimans residing i11 Afghanistan is made more difficult through their mig1.a tion into Russian and I'ersian territory from time to time.


Uzbeks. The I;zt)clks are confined to the northern parts of Afghanistan, i. e. to those parts of the caountry, which we uslrally call Afghan Turkestan. The ITzbeks nlostly live in the cities or villages (kishlak, qi'Slcrq), where they have the occup;ttion of merchants, craftsmen or farmers. Kowadays they appear to he seldom nomads.

In the following I give the cblassification of the Vzbeks acbcortling to Khanikov and I,ogofet, mainly with the ohject of showing how different they are. No douht it is the same with the Uzbeks as with the Turkmnns - new investigations into their tribal divisions have to he made owing to tht: unreliahility of the sources. The difference between the t>rihal divisions of the IWzt)eksliving in Afghan territory and those in Russian cannot hr very great.

I11 tlie town of IIerat itself there is a very mixed populatiori of Afghans, Tajiks, Turkmans, Uzbeks, Hazaras, Jews and others.' The same mixed population can be observed in the towns of &iaimana, Shibarghan, Andkhui and A c j ~ h a . According ~ to my own ohscrvations the Lrzbek population of Mazar-i-Sharif is not very numerous. I noted the same mixed population in that town a s described above for other towns of Afghan Turkestan. In the village of Dihidiraz, near Sirvan and Obeh, KHANIKOV " reports :t l~opulationof Tizbeks, helonging to the tribe of 'Koungratl' (Qungrad). I00 families of this tribe had emigrated there from the Oxns (luring the reign of Muhammed Rahim Khan of Iiliiva. Y E has some interesting information about the Uzbelr 1)opul;ttion of C11a harshamha to the west of Maimana.' The I'z1,ilks here were rni~inlycattle-breeders. Curiously enough the villagers of Cha1~:trshamlm (lid riot claim to be Uzheks, but tlie tlescendants of a lot of ~rlixedraces.

In the villages of Ata Khan Khojah and Jalaiar to the north of Mairnana there was until 1877 an Uzbek population, but in that year the villages were attacked by Turkmans and the land has since then lain waste.' At Bsla Murghah, close to the Russian frontier, SYICESnoted a n intermixture of Kzbeks, forming the majority of the population together with the Turkmans.' Notes on the ITzhek population of Shibarghan were first given by FERRIKR.' He estimates the whole population of the town a t 1 2 , 0 0 0 souls, and it is inhabited by Uzheks and I'arsivans, the informs former however being in the majority. Later NIEUEKMXYLR us that Shibarghan is inhabited by I'zbeks and some Tajiks.' In the village of Salmazar (on the map written Salimazar), which lies 3 km. to the south of Shiharghan and is situated on both sides of the river Saripul GHODEI<OV ' in 1878 found an Uzbek l'opulation living in tents [kihitkas). Owing to the abundance of water they caul t ivateci large gardens. Eetween dalmazar and t h ~village of Sariplxl there also was an ITzbek population of gsrdencl-s and peasants, living in kihitkas.'

I n some cases they :Ire said to belong to tlie Challaraimaq.

Qazaqs. From the information 1 was able to colleclt in Northern Afghanistan there are Qazays in several parts of the country. Thus Osman reported Qaza.qs in the districts of Aqch:~ and Andkliui, but according to the other sources the Qazaq in nlost cases are found farther to the east. I found many of them in the district KUSHGEKI, of Khanabad, arid this is confirmed by BUHIIAN-UD-DIN who says that they number 200 houses in the villages to the west of Qunduz, the wholo district being called Chahar-da7ra (v. 1). 17-19). Anlong the Turk tribes enumerated by Br:~lin~-r~n-Drw one might also suspect the Churacl to be of Qazaq origin, as they are known a s :t trihe belonging to the Qazaq little Orda. l'erliaps the tribe Qirq of Taleqan is also of Qazaq origin (1). 19-20). To the north, near and T I I E ~ E Ca K t their Khwajn Salah [Khwaja Sala1-1, MOORCROFT time also found Qazaqs, hut they give no details ahout them.'

later wholly disal~pearcd. According to BARTH~LU the name is now only k n o w ~ as i :I tribal name among the IJzbeks of Northern Afgha~ristan.' As far a s I untlerstand, this statement of Barthold is bast:~lon W O ~ D 'report s from the place Karlogh, mentioned earlier. Thus Barthold considers the inhabitants of this place to be Uzbeks. This is not necessary, however. Uzbek tribes and Qarluqs live together in several places in Qattaghan. B~ztthere is a n indication that we have to consider Uzbeks and Qarlucjs as two different says that the Qarluy peoples or a t least tribes. BURHAN-UD-DIN speak Turkish, contrary to the Uzbeks, who speak Uzbek.' This is tho case in Shahr-i-buzurg. In Deraim and Teshkan they are said to speak Turkish, contrary to the Tajiks and Hazaras, who speak E'er~ian.~If the Qarluqs had been a n Uzbek tribe Bnrhan-ud-Din woulcl no doubt have said nothing about their language being different from that of the Uzbeks. It is not impossible that we have remains of the real Qarlucls in the province of Qattaghan and Nadakhshan. They may even have preserved archaistic features in their language owing to the seclutled geographical position of their homes of to-day. QarIuy Turks are reported in early sources to have been resident in just these territories in former clays. In 1;ludiid-al-'Alam t,he Khallukh Turks are sa.id to live in the steppes of the provinvf: of Tultharistan, alrriost the same a s parts of the province of Qattaghan and Badalrhshan of to-d:~y.* They might later have bee11 pressed towartls the north-eastern parts of Tllkharistan of that time hy later invasions, ~11~ thus 1 we might find the traces of them there in the tribes called Qarlucl. It is not impossihlr~ that traces of Qarlucl 'rilrks clan also he found in other parts of Afghanistan. The Qarlucls are reported to have formed parts of the armies of the Moghills who conrluer~cl India from the 13th century onwirds.

Qizilbashes. Xadir Shah of Persia, who himself was of Turkish descent,' originally belonging to the Turkman trihe Afshar, from 1536 onwards invaded Afghanistan and India. Soldiers of Turkish origin n-ere the11 placed as garnisons in the captured towns of Kabul, Herat and others. According to BELLEWV a d i r Shah about 1737 left a detachment of twelve thousand of his Qizilbashes as a chandaul or >>rearguard, a t Kabul. After the death of Nadir Shah they remained at Kabul as a military colony, and their descenclants still occupy a distinct quarter of tht: city, which is c:alled Chandaul. The Qizilbashes held their own ground there as a distinct I'ersian community of the Shi:i persuasion against the nativt: population of the Y~lnriiprofession. They constitutetl an important element in the general population of the city ant1 escrcised a consicieralrle influence in its local politics.

They are now said to be quite Persianized, but according they used their original Turlri a t that time when to ELPHINSTONE adressing each other.' This is further confirmed by VICNE,'who says that .if Dost Mohan~edadresses an Afghan, he speaks Poshtu. To the Kuzzelbash of l i a l ~ u l , and visitors from Turlrist:111, he speaks Turki>). The Qizilbashils of Persia originally consisted of seven Turkisll tribes (no doubt originally of Turkrnan origin) according to M A L C O L ~called ~ Oostojaloo, (Ustajln), Shamloo (Shamlu), Kilralloo (Nikalu), Baharloo (Baharlu), Zulkudder (Zull;adar), lcujur (Lajar) anci Affshar.

It is obvious that the language the I-iazaras spoke a t that time was Mongol hut very intermixed with Iranian elements. We have, however, every reason to assume that most of the Hazaras of our clays are quite Iranized and speak Persian.

able to trace the sources of H. I,ONGWORTH DAMES' statement in the E. I. art. Hazt-ira, that the Chahar Aimaq are Turkish-speaking Su~lnites and contrary to the Persian-speaking Hazaras, who is are Shiites. I dare not say if this statement is true. BELLEW more cautious in saying that with the exception of a few Turki words, they have entirely lost their mother tongue and adopted in its place the I'ersian language of the 13th century, and with it the national for111 of religion of that people, namely, the Shi6 doctrine of Islam.' I t is, however, evident fro111 the inforlnation given by Burhan-ud-Din about the population of Qattaghan and Badakhshan (v. p. 20-21) that we may suspect that the term Mongol or Rloghul is not strictly applied to Hazaras, but could also be applied to Turkish-speaking peoples. The same statement that the Cliahar Aimaqs and Hazaras(!) were formerly Turltish-speaking is found in M A C M ~ E ; ,Afghanistan, p. 25: TRINKLER, p. 33. SCII\V~IUER, p. 31.

The place-names as indicating a Turkish population or traces of it.

As the different peoples of Afghanistan are so internlived it is very difficult to ascertain the boundaries of the peoples and languages. This especially applies to Afghan Turkestan, a s has been seen hefore. One might reckon with aicl in this task from the place-names, and I have tried to draw up a boundary-line for the dissemanation of the Turks of Xorthern Afghanihtan with their help but I must confess with negative result. This is clue to the fact that our material of place-names from the maps is very scanty and generally unreliable. The names have never been collectetl by skilled linguists. Then in many (.sues the places evidently have two or more namw owing to a mixer1 poplilation in them (Turks and Iranians). In Qnttaghan and Badakhshnn the Turkish elements of the gcographical nomenclature are often quite clear. With Bririrri~~-r7~)-ll)rn~ a s source 1 indicated a lot of Turkish place-names there in the chapter on the pol~ulationof that province. Thus e. g. the villages enlimerated in the district of Nahrein almost all have names containing Turkish elements or of pure Turkish origin.' In some canes it is also possible with the material availalrrle from Bilrhan-ucl-Din to find connections between the place-names and trihes of Turkish origin. Thus the village-name Ila-chulacl in the district of Nahrein might he connected with the Turk tribe 11% tiirk or Qarghan known from Khost and F e r e n g . V t has to he investigated whether we have traces of this tribe also in Nahrein. With fresh material I think there will be Rome possibility for

a successful study of the place-names of Qattaghan and Badakhshan as indicating a Turkish population or traces of it. I n Afghan Turkestan it is more difficult to draw conclusions as to the distribution of the Turk peoples from the ylace-names. We possess no good maps and the names existent in maps and in the works of the different travellers are in most cases very unonce tried to make some revision of the placereliable. VAMBCIZY names of the district round Herat in his paper >The geographical nomenclature of the disputed country between Merv and Herat,, tmt it does not bring any new material or conclusions to light. In my opinion it will he a very difficult - if not impossible task to draw any conclusions allout the distribution of the Tllrks of Northern Afghanistan in older times with the place-names a s source-material. I t may he possitble to adjust the southern bounclary-line in the Hindllkush and point out places which according to the Turkish form of their names must have heen inhabited 11y Turlts earlier. For the chronology of such a11 earlier spread of Turlrs in Afghanistan they will, 1io11-ever, be of little value, as everywhere in co~lntricsinhabited by Turks. In4 other parts of Afghanistan the place-names will, however, he of the greatest importance as sonrcea for the earlier dissexnanation of the Turk peoples. This is especially the case for the territories arouncl Kabul, in Koh-Danlan and in Kohistan which I nlent'ioncd before. The place-names of these parts ought to he collected carefully, as here (and probably also in other parts of the country) we might find traces of the Tn1-ks and Mongols ~ v h oinvacletl India from the 13th century onwards.
