The Turkic peoples are a group of peoples residing in northern, central and western
Eurasia who speak languages belonging to the
Turkic language family. These peoples share, to varying degrees, certain
cultural traits and historical backgrounds. The term Turkic thus represents a broad,
ethno-linguistic group of people and includes existing cultures such as the
Kazakhs,
Kyrgyz and
Turkish people, as well as historical societies such as the
Seljuq and
Timurid. Although usually referring to the citizens of
Turkey, the word Turks may also be used loosely to refer to all Turkic peoples. The adjective Turkish, on the other hand, usually specifically refers to the
Turkish language, the citizens of Turkey, or Turkish-speaking people of
Turkish ethnicity.
