Uzbeg

The population consists principally of Uzbegs and Tajiks, the former predominating and gradually pushing the Tajiks into the hills.

In the same way many Uzbeg and Kirghiz Turki tribes are named from famous Mongol chiefs, although no one will deny a strain of true Mongol blood in all these heterogeneous groups.

Uzbegs and Kirghiz have but small affinity with the Mongol element of Asia.

Subhankuli died in 1702, and a war of succession broke out between his two sons, who were supported by the rivalry of two Uzbeg tribes.

But in 1514 he was utterly defeated by the Uzbegs and with difficulty reached Kabul.
