The Barlas (also Berlas, Birlas) was a Turkicized[1][2] Mongolian[3][4] (Turko-Mongol) nomadic confederation which was in Central Asia and the chief tribe of the Timurid emperors who ruled much of Central Asia, Iran, and Hindustan in the Middle Ages. Due to extensive contacts with the native population of Central Asia, the tribe adopted Chagatai-Turkic which was influenced by the Arabic and Persian[5] languages, and incorporated much of the Turkic languages.
According to The Secret History of the Mongols - a 13th century epic written during the reign of Ögedei Khan - the Barlas were descendants of the Mongol warlord Bodonchir (Bodon Achir; Bodon'ar Mungqaq) who was also considered the direct ancestor of Genghis Khan.[6] The Turko-Mongol conqueror Timur was from a noble family of the Barlas clan.[7]
