About 2" millennium BC hordes of first known nomadic tribes started moving out of northwestern China towards the great steppe lands called Central Asian plains. These Turkic speaking migratory tribes were in direct conflict with Persian tribal groups who spoke different Persian related languages. This activity continued for a long time till be hear of the rise of Scythian empire in 7" BC whose present was significant controlling the travel routes westwards.

A strong nomadic culture with some civility, by then started appearing in the steppes. This was time when we hear of trade routes in development. This vast land continued developing a nomadic culture uninterrupted but in 5'" AD the rise of a strong group called Huns appeared on the scene moving westwards with a devastating force unseating many miner kingdoms. During the course of migrations in search of grassy lands the tribes. Were in direct confrontation resulting in the development of struggle for territorial supremacies.. New ethnic groups were seen emerging in the formation. The real shaping of Central Asian states started in the aftermath of Mongol invasion of 13" century. Each tribal group of Mongol and mixed Turco-Mongol origins started taking shape. New ruling classes appeared with mare stranger Turkic origins — this was the making of Kazakhs, with exception of Kyrgyz who were already a strong nomadic nation in the region called Zhetysu (Semerechye) Turkmen moved mare into the westernmost deserts. While Uzbek group was a greatly mixed and strong affiliation with Persian speaking Tajiks found their own ground. This was a most organized farce which kept a fine balance with Turkic and Mongol tribes but kept their doors open to Persian speaking Tajiks. This we reckon as the strongest under the leadership of Tamerlane.

Today Central Asia is fast developing into a modern fabric with each nation adhering to their ethnic bondage.
