Turanism.Tūrān is the ancient
Iranian name for
Central Asia, literally meaning "the land of the Tur". As described below, the original Turanians are the Tuirya

Shahnameh's account, at least 1500 years later after the Avesta, the nomadic tribes who inhabited these lands, were ruled by Tūr who was the emperor
Fereydun's elder son. In modern discourse, now obsolete, it was primarily an ideological term designating

Mongolic,
Dravidian languages and
Ugric languages and people more or less indiscriminately, implying a common ancestry and common culture of the various ethnicities in question (see

Shahnameh's account. Tur/Turaj(Tuzh in
