Chagatai people

Baqi Beg Chaghtai, younger brother of Khusrau Shah Kokultash, pays homage to Babur.

The Chagatai (also Chagatai Tajiks or Tajik Chagatai) were a Tajik ethnic group living in the Surxondaryo Region of southeastern Uzbekistan and in southern Tajikistan. They were estimated to number 63,500 in 1924–25.[1]: 41  Together with the Kharduri, the Chagatai are one of the ethnographic groups of Tajiks who maintain a distinct identity.[1]: 183  The origin of the people is unknown, although the name Chagatai is of Mongol origin, as Chagatai Khan was a son of Genghis Khan.[1]: 41
