Turkmun (Hazaragi : تورکمون ) or Turkmani (تورکمنی ) is a major tribe of the ethnic Hazara people , originating mainly from the Turkman valley in present-day Parwan province of Afghanistan . They have their own dialect of the Persian language known as Hazaragi .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Babur , the founder of the Mughal Empire in the early 16th century, mentioned this Hazara tribe in his autobiography as "Turkoman Hazaras ".[ 1]
The etymology of the Turkmani tribe of Hazara, according to Babur , is related to the "Turkoman ".[ 4]
