The Origin of Sarı Uygurs

ERK�N EKREM
Hacettepe University (Ankara)

ABSTRACT

In 1081 and 1083, Sar� Uygurs, on which there are different ideas not only on their historical origins but also their ethnic name, were mentioned as Huang-t�ou Hui-he (Sar� Ba� Uygur) in Chinese sources. The Sar� Uygurs were named in Chinese sources as Sa-li Wei-wu, Sha-la Wei-kuo-er, and even Huang-fan (Sar� Boylar), Hsi-la Ku-er Huang-fan (Shira Yugur Sar� Boylar) and Hei Huang-fan (Sar� Kara Boylar), which are the mixture of Turkish and Chinese. Researchers agree on the idea that these names mean �Sar� Uygur� in Turkish, but there are arguments going on about the adjective, namely �sar��. In this article, it is proposed that the �sar�� is the special adjective of �central clan� or �leader clan� receiving grace from God, which is �noble and original�, and is also pointed out that Sar� Uygurs were originated from the Yaglakar, the founder clan of the Orhun-Uygur State. It will also be tried to be proved that no matter how much Sar� Uygurs were ethnically changed in history, their name comes from the special place of the Yaglakar family.

KEY WORDS
