Tatars

Turkic ethnic groups in Eurasia

The Tatars (TAH-tərz) are a group of Turkic speaking peoples found across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia who bear the name "Tatar". Initially, the ethnonym Tatar possibly referred to the Tatar confederation. That confederation was eventually incorporated into the Mongol Empire when Genghis Khan unified the various steppe tribes.
