The Oghuz Turks are a group of Turkic peoples who originated in Central Asia. They played a significant role in the history of the Turkic world, particularly during the 9th to 11th centuries. The Oghuz tribes were known for their nomadic lifestyle, skilled horsemanship, and warrior culture. They eventually migrated westward, influencing various regions, including the Middle East and Anatolia. The Oghuz Turks are also known for their contributions to the formation of several empires, such as the Seljuk Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Their language, Oghuz Turkic, is the basis for modern Turkish and several other Turkic languages. The Oghuz legacy continues to impact the cultural and historical landscape of Turkey and surrounding areas.
