List Of Medieval Mongolian Tribes And Clans
The qualifier Mongol tribes was established as an umbrella term in the early 13th century, when Temüjin (later Genghis Khan) united the different tribes under his control and established the Mongol Empire. There were 19 Nirun tribes (marked (N) in the list) that descended from Bodonchar and 18 Darligin tribes (marked (D) in the list), which were also core Mongolic tribes but not descending from Bodonchar. The unification created a new common ethnic identity as Mongols. Descendants of those clans form the Mongolian nation and other Inner Asian people. Almost all of tribes and clans mentioned in the ''Secret History of the Mongols'' and some tribes mentioned in the Tarikh-i-Rashidi, there are total 33 Mongol tribes. Core Mongolic tribes * *Khorilar *Dorben (N) * Uriankhat *Ma'alikh baya'ut (D) * Jarchi'ut Adangkhan (D) *Belgunot *Buyant *Bugunot *Khatagin (N) *Eljigin *Salji'ut **Jadaran (N) ** Baarin (N) **Manan Ba'arin ** Jaruud ***Noyakin (N) ***Barulas (N) ***Buda'at ...

Sanjdorj, History of the Mongolian People's Republic, Volume I, 1966 where they maintained close ties with the ruling dynasties of northern China. Because the various Hongirad clans never united under a single leader, the tribe never rose to great military glory. Their greatest fame comes from being the primary consort clan of the ruling house of Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire. Genghis Khan's mother (Hoelun), great grandmother, and first wife were all Khongirads, as were many subsequent Mongol Empress and princesses. During the Yuan dynasty they were given the title Lu Wang ("Prince of Lu"; ), and a few Khongirads migrated west into the territory of modern Uzbekistan and Turkistan Region where they became governors of Khwarazm and were known as the Sufi dynasty.
