Karluken

Die Karluken (alttürkisch Qarluq; arabisch/persisch قارلوق, tibetisch Gar-log) waren eine historische Stammesföderation türkischer Steppennomaden im frühmittelalterlichen Mittelasien.

Aus den Reihen versklavter Karluken in Diensten der Samaniden gingen unter anderem die späteren Ghaznawiden-Herrscher von Chorasan und Nordindien hervor.[1]

  1. C. E. Bosworth: Samanids. In: The Encyclopaedia of Islam. New Edition. Band 8, Brill, Leiden 1995, S. 1025–1031, hier S. 1026 (“One role which Ismā'īl inherited as ruler of Transoxania was the defence of its northern frontiers against pressure from the nomads of Inner Asia, and in 280/893 he led an expedition into the steppes against the Qarluq Turks, capturing Ṭalas and bringing back a great booty of slaves and beasts.”)
