Revision as of 17:28, 29 January 2008
The Barlas (also Berlas, Birlas) were a Mongolian, later Turkicized nomadic confederation in Central Asia and the chief tribe of the Timurid emperors who ruled much of Central Asia, Iran, and Hindustan in the Middle Ages. Due to extensive contacts with Turkic-speaking Central Asian nomads, the tribe later adopted the religion Islam and the Chagatai-Turkic language which itself was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian.
According to The Secret History of the Mongols - a 13th century epic written during the reign of Ögedei Khan - the Barlas were descendants of the Mongol warlord Bodonchir (Bodon Achir; Bodon'ar Mungqaq) who was also considered the direct ancestor of Genghis Khan. The 14th century conqueror Timur was from a noble family of the Barlas clan.
