They are concentrated in Bashkortostan , a republic of the Russian Federation and in the broader historical region of Badzhgard , which spans both sides of the Ural Mountains , where Eastern Europe meets North Asia . Smaller communities of Bashkirs also live in the Republic of Tatarstan , the oblasts of Perm Krai , Chelyabinsk , Orenburg , Tyumen , Sverdlovsk and Kurgan and other regions in Russia ; sizeable minorities exist in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan .

However, Bashkir differs from Tatar in several important ways: The Bashkir orthography is more explicit. / q / and / ʁ / are written with their own letters Ҡ ҡ and Ғ ғ , whereas in Tatar they are treated as positional allophones of / k / and / ɡ / , written К к and Г г . Labial vowel harmony in Bashkir is written explicitly, e.g. Tatar тормышым tormışım and Bashkir тормошом – tormoşom , both pronounced [tʊɾ.mʊˈʂʊm] , meaning "my life".

The Nogai and Karachay-Balkar languages are most likely the closest-sounding extant languages to the extinct Proto-Kipchak Bashkir language. From an arc of time of roughly 900 years, the Bashkir language and Idel Tatar language, previously being completely different languages, "melded" into a series of dialects of a common "Volga Kipchak" or "Volga Turki" language. The Idel Tatars and Bashkirs are and always were two peoples of completely different origins, cultures and identities, but because of

Al-Balkhi traced back his ideas on mental health to verses of

During the Russian Imperial period, Russians and Tatars began to migrate to Bashkortostan which led to eventual demographic changes in the region.

The first European sources to mention the Bashkirs were the works of Joannes de Plano Carpini and William of Rubruquis of the 13th century. By 1226, Genghis Khan had incorporated the lands of Bashkortostan into his empire. During the 13th and 14th centuries, all of Bashkortostan was a component of the Golden Horde .

Al-Balkhi details the disorder as an extreme type of fear that results in the anxiety levels of a person spiking due to increasing the depth of blood in the body. This causes the person to become shaky and disoriented, preventing them from making decisions in a timely manner. Rather than taking medicine or proceeding with blood letting , which were common methods to help an individual, he suggested gradual exposure to

The Book of Sui may have mentioned "Bashkirs" when the Turkic peoples were still travelling through southern Siberia. In the 9th century, during the migration of the Bashkirs to the Volga-Ural region, the first Arabic and Persian -written reports about Bashkirs are attested. These include reports by Sallam al-Tardjuman who around 850 travelled to

After the disintegration of the Mongol Empire , the Bashkirs were divided among the Nogai Horde , the Khanate of Kazan and the Khanate of Sibir , founded in the 15th century. In the middle of the 16th century, Bashkirs were gradually conquered by the Tsardom of Russia . Primary documents pertaining to the Bashkirs during this period have been lost, although some are mentioned in
1872-404: The Bashkir population shared immune genes with both West and Eastern Eurasian populations. A genetic study by Yunusbayev et al. 2015 found that the Bashkirs display a significant amount of East Asian -derived ancestry (c. 40%), of which roughly the half can be associated with Siberian ancestry maximized in modern-day Nganasans , and the other half with Ancient Northeast Asians .

In the 10th century, the Persian historian and polymath Abu Zayd al-Balkhi described Bashkirs as a people divided into two groups: one inhabiting the Southern Urals, the other living on the Danube plain near the boundaries of Byzantium . Ibn Rustah , a contemporary of Abu Zayd al-Balkhi , observed that Bashkirs were an independent people occupying territories on both sides of
2088-458: The Bashkirs actually were or where they came from, therefore the usage of " Amurs " in the name may be an approximation; these battalions were considered as the liberators from the French , however modern Russian military sources do not credit the Bashkirs with these accomplishments. These regiments also served in Battle of Paris and the subsequent occupation of France by the coalition forces. After
2160-411: The Bashkirs ancestry was linked to West Eurasian, primarily European sources. The results point to admixture between local Indo-European-speakers, Uralic-speakers and Turkic-speakers. The admixture event dates to the 13th century, according to an analysis of the identical-by-descent segments. According to the authors, the admixture thus occurred after the presumed migrations of the ancestral Kipchaks from

The Bashkirs rose again in 1707, under Aldar and Kûsyom, due to perceived ill-treatment by Imperial Russian officials. At the founding of Orenburg in 1735, the fourth insurrection occurred in 1735 and lasted six years. Ivan Kirillov formed a plan to build

They were bordered by Oghuz Turks on the south, Pechenegs to the south-east and Bulgars on the west.
