Chumuhun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chumuhun is one of six Chuy Hun tribes, the name Chumuhun was used by Chinese historians as a collective name for the six Chu tribes: Chuüe, Chumi, Chumuhun, Chuban, and two divisions of Shato which sprung from the Chuüe. The Chuy Hun tribes were also collectively called Üeban "Weak Huns" by the Chinese historians, Üeban Huns underwent a strong influence of the Sogdian culture[1]. The Chuy-descendent tribe Kimak was one of the Türkic tribes known from Arab and Persian Middle Age writers as one of the seven tribes in the Kimak Kaganate in the period of 743-1050 AD. The other six constituent tribes per Abu Said Gardizi (d. 1061) were Kipchaks, Imi, Tatars, Bayandur, Lanikaz, and Ajlad. The present endoethnonym of the Chuy Hun descendents is Chuy Kiji, Türkic for "Chuy People"[2].
