What about the Turkic hat? I see Central Asians, Turkish, Russians, North Caucasus people where these hats. I believe it must have been a Turkic nomadic influence.

Karakul (hat)

Qaraqul means Black fur in Turkic, similar types of hats are common among Turkic people.


In the USSR, the Karakul hat became very popular among Politburo members. It became common that Soviet leaders appeared in public, wearing this type of hat. The hat probably gained its prestige among Party leaders because it was an obligatory parade attribute of the czar and Soviet Generals.[citation needed] By wearing the Karakul hat, Soviet leaders wanted to underline their high political status. In the Soviet Union this hat also took the nickname the Pie-hat[citation needed] because it resembled traditional Russian pies.

Those hats were originally in the Caucasus before those Mongols came anywhere near Europe. They are from the Caucasus originally. They not Turkic or any other sort of Mongolian offspring.

There is a strong Turkic influence on Pakistani culture. The shared history goes back to the time when the Seljuks, a Turkic people from Central Asia, poured southward into Persia in 1037 and established the Empire of the Great Seljuks. One branch of the Seljuks took over Ghazni in Afghanistan, ruled by Sultan Mahmud from 997-1030. Mahmud's grandfather was a Turkic general from Turkestan who had crossed the Hindu Kush mountains to seize Ghazni, located strategically on the road between Kabul and Kandahar. At its peak, his empire included all of Afghanistan, most of modern Iran and parts of Pakistan and northern India. During his time, Ferdausi wrote the Shahnamah and Al Beruni his classic treatise on India.

In 1071, another branch of the Seljuk family moved west from Persia. It engaged the armies of the Byzantine emperor in what is now eastern Turkey and defeated them decisively. After that, the Seljuk Turks flooded into Anatolia, taking control of most of eastern and central Anatolia. They established their capital at Konya around 1150 and created the western (Rum) Seljuk sultanate. During their reign, Maulana Rumi penned his Masnavi and established a Sufi order that has a large global following.

Over time, the Seljuks in Turkey were succeeded by the Ottomans who went on to establish an empire that lasted for six centuries, from 1299 to 1922. In the subcontinent meanwhile Mahmud Ghazni had been succeeded by other Muslim rulers including the Mughals. The movement to revive the Khilafat after the defeat of the Ottomans in World War I received a boost from the Muslims of the subcontinent. Even though the movement failed in its political objectives, it did underscore the desire of the two peoples to work together, as was noted by Erdogan.

What word?

If it was originally Turkish, why did they not wear them during Ottoman Empire? It seems to have been recent since most pictures with those hats are from Attaturk times.

The hat originated from Central Asia. Qaraqal sheeps were commonly domesticated in modern uzbekistan.

In the Croatian region of Slavonia there is a rural customs Divani, it is the Turkish word if I'm not mistaken, and perhaps also word taken from us.

In Iran:
- linguistic influence. Persians use turkic -gh- instead of Iranic -k- etc..
- vocabulary: mostly militaristic/court stuff (titles, forms etc.) This comes from times where the Iranian militarity was by large parts made up of Turks
- Yogurt: Iranians like it as much as Turks today
- genetics: Azerbaijanis, Qashkai, Turkmens etc...

In Germany:
-Döner Kebab
