Oghuz Tribes of Anatolia

[Pecheneg]

The number of the Oghuz tribes varied in time. During the second half of the 11th century there were 22 main Oghuz tribes according to Mahmud of Kashgar, but Rashid-al-Din listed 24 Oghuz tribes at the beginning of the 14th century.

According to the Ottoman tax archives, in a study conducted by Prof Dr Yusuf Halacoglu, 1.140.000 nomadic Turkmen tents/households/families were recorded. (16th - 17th centuries)

I wonder what tribes Manavlar are part of, since we are called that way. I know there are different theories on that.

Most probably named after Yüreğir tribe, here you can see, adana is one of the provinces that Yüreğir tribe mostly settled.

Benim bildiğim Yörük/Göçebe olmayan batı anadolu Türklerine verilen genel ad "Manav". Önceden Yörük olupta yerleşik hayata geçince "manav" diye anılan birçok köy mevcut mesela.

The Seljuk empire`s monarchy was from Kınık tribe. Btw Kınık is a district in Izmir for centuries and most likely founded by their descendants even before Ottoman era.

The founders of Ottoman empire was from Kayi tribe and their tamga was same as the tamga of Ashina clan of Gokturks and Dulo tribe of Bulgars;

Well, despite being Ahıska Turkish from fathers' side, there is an Oghuz link from my dad's paternal side(based on what I know from a relative's research and the Kizilbash Turkmen link he found). Also there are only two places with our old family title, one in Artvin/Şavşat(our hometown), one in Kilis. A family in Kilis has the same surname with our old family title(Osmanlı'daki aile lakabı) and those guys claim to be Karakeçili Turkmens.
