The History of the Turkic Peoples: Language, Migration and Turkicization |S2E6 UME
from Scholars Unravel Middle East · host Adel Aali, History Behind News Program
The Turkic peoples did not descend from a single, unified ethnic population. Their history is largely the story of how Turkic languages spread across Eurasia—and how diverse peoples became Turkic-speaking over centuries.In my interview with Dr. Peter Golden, we trace this history from the first Turkic empires and the migrations of the Oghuz and Seljuks to the Khazars, Mamluks, Safavids and Ottomans.We also examine how language—not ancestry alone—helped create the many Turkic peoples who inhabit the Middle East, Central Asia and Eastern Europe today.🚩About My Guest: Dr. Peter Golden is a professor emeritus of history, Turkish and Middle Eastern Studies at Rutgers University. He has published extensively on the history of the Turkic peoples, including the following books: "An Introduction to the History of the Turkic Peoples""Central Asia in World History""Studies on the Peoples and Cultures of the Eurasian Steppes""The World of the Khazars: New Perspectives"Adel Aali Host Support My Program: I rely on your support to continue this program.
