Origin of the Azerbaijanis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Origin of the Azerbaijanis
The Azerbaijani are of mixed ethnic origins. These include the indigenous peoples of eastern Transcaucasia and the Medians, an ancient Iranian people. However, modern Azerbaijanis speak a Turkic language. Between the 3rd and 7th centuries CE there was a Persianization of the population, during the period of the Sassanian dynasty. A subsequent Turkification of the population occurred after the region’s conquest by the Seljuq Turks in the 11th century and a continued influx of Turkic peoples over subsequent centuries – including groups that migrated during the Mongol conquests of the 13th century. (Most of of the tribes that formed the Mongol forces, or were led by them to migrate were Turkic peoples.)〔("Azerbaijani" ) - ''Encyclopædia Britannica''〕 ==Caucasian substrate== The Caucasian origin of the Azerbaijanis defines a link between Azeris and their pre-Turkification Caucasian past and mostly applies to the Azeris of the Caucasus, most of whom are now inhabitants of what is now the Republic of Azerbaijan. There is evidence that, despite repeated invasions and migrations, aboriginal Caucasians may have been culturally assimilated, first by Iranians, such as the Alans, and later by the Oghuz Turks. Considerable information has been learned about the Caucasian Albanians including their language, history, early conversion to Christianity, and close ties to the Armenians. Many academics believe that the Udi language, still spoken in Azerbaijan, is a remnant of the Albanians' language.〔("The Udi Language" ), ''University of Munich'', Wolfgang Schulze 2001/2 (retrieved 19 June 2006).〕 This Caucasian influence extended further south into Iranian Azarbaijan. During the 1st millennium BCE, another Caucasian people, the Mannaeans (''Mannai'') populated much of this area. This ancient country was in northwestern Iran, south of Lake Urmia. During the period of its existence in the early 1st millennium bc, Mannai was surrounded by three major powers: Assyria, Urartu, and Media. With the intrusion of the Scythians and the rise of the Medes in the 7th century, the Manneans lost their identity and were subsumed under the term Medes.〔("Mannai" ), ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' (retrieved 07 September 2011).〕
