The Türks or the ''Kök'' Türks (Old Turkic: 10px10px10px10px 10px10px10px , Khotanese Saka ''Ttūrka'', ''Ttrūka'', Old Tibetan ''Drugu'') and sometimes as its Anatolian Turkish form ''Göktürks'' (Celestial or Blue Turks), were a nomadic confederation of Turkic peoples in medieval Inner Asia. The Köktürks, under the leadership of Bumin Qaghan (d. 552) and his sons, succeeded the Rouran Khaganate as the main power in the region and established the Turkic Khaganate, one of several nomadic dynasties which would shape the future geolocation, culture, and dominant beliefs of Turkic peoples. ==Etymology== The Old Turkic name was 10px10px10px10px Türük,〔(Kultegin's Memorial Complex, Türik Bitig ) Orkhon inscriptions〕〔(Bilge Kagan's Memorial Complex, Türik Bitig ) Orkhon inscriptions〕 10px10px10px10px 10px10px10px Kök Türük,〔〔 or 10px10px10px10px Türk.〔(Tonyukuk's Memorial Complex, Türik Bitig ) Bain Tsokto inscriptions〕 They were known in Middle Chinese historical sources as the ''tɦutkyat'' (). According to Chinese sources, the meaning of the word ''Tujue'' was "combat helmet" (), reportedly because the shape of the Altai Mountains where they lived, was similar to a combat helmet.〔Linghu Defen et al., ''Book of Zhou'', Vol. 50. 〕〔Wei Zheng et al., ''Book of Sui'', Vol. 84. 〕〔Li Yanshou, ''History of the Northern Dynasties'', Vol. 99. 〕 The name Göktürk is said to mean "Celestial Turks". This is consistent with "the cult of heavenly ordained rule" which was a recurrent element of Altaic political culture and as such may have been imbibed by the Göktürks from their predecessors in Mongolia.〔Wink 64.〕 The name of the ruling Ashina clan may derive from the Khotanese Saka term for "deep blue", ''āššɪna''. The word Türk meant "strong" in Old Turkic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Göktürks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
