圖蘭

圖蘭（توران‎），是波斯語中對中亞的稱呼^[1]，本意為圖爾人（Tur）的土地。自6世紀以來，圖蘭這個詞就被用來表示突厥人或土耳其人居住的國家。圖蘭最初的居民為波斯古經時代的Tuirya伊朗人^[2]^[3]^[4]。那裏存在的兩支伊朗人部落經常會發生戰爭。而根據《列王紀》，在波斯古經時代1500年之後，居住在這片土地上的游牧部族開始被圖爾（Tūr）所統治，他是皇帝菲里敦（فریدون Fereydūn)的長子。同樣根據《列王紀》，與突厥人的聯繫是因為那時中亞的突厥化已經開始並部分完成。他們中最著名的王是額弗拉斯牙卜，是黑汗王朝始祖。也有人說圖蘭是一些與信仰拜火教的伊朗人敵對的部族。其中伊朗人和圖蘭人被認為是一個民族，他們都是費雷敦的後裔，但有兩個不同的領地，而且經常相互交戰。^[5]
