Oghuz Turks

The Oghuz Turks are a branch of Turkic-speaking peoples originating from Central Asia, known for their historical migrations across Eurasia. They played a key role in the formation of several influential empires, such as the Seljuk Empire and the Ottoman Empire, which shaped the political and cultural landscape of the Middle East and Anatolia. Today, Oghuz descendants are found primarily in countries like Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and parts of Iran. Their language, Oghuz Turkic, is the basis for modern Turkish and other regional languages. The Oghuz Turks are recognized for their rich cultural traditions and significant historical impact.
