Barlas

The Barlas (Mongolian: Barulās;^[1] Chagatai Turkic/Persian: برلاس Barlās; also Berlās) were a Mongol^{[1][2][3][4][5]} tribe, which later became Turkified^[6][7] in Central Asia, forming a nomadic confederation. They were a sub-clan of the Kiyat-Borjigin,^[8][9] emerged within the Khamag Mongol confederation in present-day Mongolia in the early to mid-12th century,^[10] and traced their military roots to one of the elite regiments of the Mongol Empire’s Kheshig armies.^[11][12] The Barlas spawned as one imperial dynasties with two major empires in Asia: the Timurid Empire in Central Asia and Persia; and its later branch, the Mughal Empire in the Indian subcontinent.^[13][14]

According to the Secret History of the Mongols, written during the reign of Ögedei Khan [r. 1229–1241] of Mongol empire, and Historian Rashid al-Din Hamadani (1247–1318) of Ilkhanate he written in his documents Jami' al-tawarikh,^[16] the Barlas shared ancestry with the Khiyad Borjigin,^[17][18][19] who were the descendents of Khaidu Khan, but mainly Barlas were sharing a common ancestries with Tumbinai Khan who was both Timur and Genghis Khan's ancestor, which proved by Rashid al-din Hamadani on his documents,^{[20][21][22][23]} while the Imperial clan of Genghis Khan and his successors, and other Mongol clans related. Barlas clan emerging first founder traced its original roots to Qachuli as founder of tribe in Khamag Mongol at Northern Mongolia,^{[24][25][26][27]} Qachuli was the son of Tumanay Setsen or, Tumbinai Khan who was the ruler of Borjigin, as well as twin brother of Qabul Khan the founder and first ruler of Khamag Mongol Confederations,^[28][29][30] Qachulis great-grandson was Qarachar Barlas who was the one of Genghis Khan Minister and Commander (Noyan and Tumen) as Mongol Invasions of Central asia, he migrated and founding his clans new settlements in Central asia Transoxiana regions,^[31][32][33] Genghis Khan later assigned Qarachar to his second son Chagatai Khan as then becoming one his minister and governor (Darughachi) of Transoxiana.^{[34][35][36][37]}

The Barlas controlled the region of Kish (modern day Shahrisabz, Uzbekistan) and all of its lineages seem to have been associated with this region.^[38] In contrast to most neighboring tribes who remained nomadic, the Barlas were a sedentary due to there military and aristrocratic natures and status of tribe.^[39][40] Due to extensive contacts with the native population of Central Asia, the tribe had adopted the religion of Islam and leaving there forefathers Tengrism,^[7][41][42] and as they native Mongol speaker they adopted the Chagatai language, a Turkic language of the Qarluq branch, which was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian.^[43][44] Although the Barlas were not always exogamous, but many marriages recorded were outside the tribe.^[45][46]

Its most famous representatives were the Timurids, a dynasty founded by the conqueror Timur in the 14th century, who ruled over modern-day Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and almost the entire rest of the Caucasus, Afghanistan, much of Central Asia, as well as parts of contemporary Pakistan, Mesopotamia, and Anatolia.^[48] One of his descendants, Babur, later founded the Mughal Empire of Central Asia and South Asia.^[49]
