This article is about two separate things: a city and a quasi-historical personage, just like it says in the introductory sentence. Therefore, the article needs to be split and a disambiguation page made. Unfortunately I am new and I don't know where to request that articles be split.--KASchmidt 07:45, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Context makes all the difference between a dictionary plus sets of lists and an encyclopedia. What does this quasi-historical personage mean, apart from the city he embodies? By all means do make separate articles, if splitting improves the sense of context. You'll find many meaningless splits at Wikipedia as you settle in; but I'd say, try instead to draw disparate items together, wherever you can. Just a thought. --Wetman 15:49, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Added Turkish version of Afrasiab's name

Afrasiab, being a Turkic Hero-King, is known to Turks as Alp Er Tunga, and forms the basis of the modern Turkish name Alper.

Turkish culture, being interwoven with Persian throughout their thousand year old rivalry, also includes the mythical enmity of Rostem (Persian) and Afrasiab (Turk).
