The Uokil were a Turkic tribe, located in Transoxiana during the early Middle Ages. They may be connected to or descended from the: * ''Hutsze'' or ''Utsze'' – a part of the Issedones/Wusun and or Yuezhi, defeated by the Xiongnu and displaced from East Asia in 49 BCE; * ''Augal'' people of the Amu Darya (2nd century); * ''Vokil'' dynastic clan of 1st millennium Danube Bulgaria, and/or; * the Uokil, a component of the proto-Mongol Syanbi (Chinese ''Xianbei'' 鲜卑). == Possible connection to Wusun and/or Yuezhi == Before the end of the 4th century BCE, the country Yuezhi (Chinese ''Ngiw.at-tie'') extended west from the northern bend of the Yellow River (in modern Gansu).〔G. Haloun, ''"Zur Üe-tsï-Frage. In: Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft"'', 91, NF 16, 1937, p. 301, in Yury Zuev, ''"Early Türks: Sketches of history and ideology"'', p. 42〕 The vassals of the Yuezhi came to include the Xiongnu. In about 210-200 BC, the Xiongnu leader Modu Chanyu, a former hostage of the Yuezhi, conquered the Mongolian Plain, subjugating several peoples. In about 176 BC Mody Chanyu rebelled against and attacked the Yuezhi. The Yuezhi attacked the Wusun in about 173 BC,〔 killing their king (Kunmi (中国語:昆彌) or Kunmo (中国語:昆莫)) Nandoumi ((中国語:難兜靡)).〔 According to a Wusun legend, Nandoumi's infant son Liejiaomi was left in the wild. He was miraculously saved from hunger being suckled by a she-wolf, and fed meat by ravens.〔(Shiji 《史記·大宛列傳》 ) Original text: 匈奴攻殺其父，而昆莫生棄於野。烏嗛肉蜚其上，狼往乳之。〕 This ancestor myth shares striking similarities with those of many other peoples including the Turks. Based on this similarity it has been suggested that the royal Ashina clan of the Göktürks may have originated with the Wusun. In 162 BC, the Yuezhi suffered a decisive defeat at the hands of the Xiongnu and retreated from Gansu.〔 According to Zhang Qian, the Yuezhi fled westward, driving the Sai (Saka/Scythians) from the Ili river valley (in Zhetysu/Dzungaria).〔〔(Hanshu 《漢書·張騫李廣利傳》 ) Original text 時，月氏已為匈奴所破，西擊塞王。〕 However, after the retreat of the Yuezhi, the Wusun settled in Gansu, in the ''Ushui-he'' (Chinese ''Raven Water River'') valley, as vassals of the Xiongnu.〔 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「Uokil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
