THE ROLE OF OGUZ TRIBES IN ETHNOGENESIS OF TURKIC PEOPLE: AS AN EXAMPLE OF KAZAKH OF MIDDLE ZHUZ

Abstract

The role of the Oghuz in the formation of the Kazakh people is a less studied problem in historiography.
The significance of the study is due to the fact that in recent years historical studies and studies
of oral folklore (chronicles, legends, etc.) have been published, as well as considering the appearance of
tribal signs (tamgas), one can determine the active role of Oguzes in the formation of tribes from ancient
times. In this regard, the article considers the role of the Oghuz in the formation of the Kazakh clans and
tribes.
The history of the Kazakh people rooted in the history of tribes is studied on the basis of the unity of
the composition of clans, tribes and the region. It is important to always take into account the fact that
the tribes that make up the Kazakh people, like the Zhalaiyrs, Naimans, Kanles, Konyrats, Adai, Zhappas,
etc. their ethnic origin is associated with the Oguzes. A distinctive feature of the study of the history of
the Kazakh people begins with the history of the Oghuz, Kypchaks and other Turkic-speaking associations
and is directly related to their history.
