ON THE ETHNIC AFFINITY BETWEEN THE JAPANESE AND UZBEKS

Author: Lafasov, Urak

Annotation: This article provides information about the territories that Noah’s father gave to his son Japheth, the fact that these places are in Turon, the tribes, and the map reflecting Jobarqo, which is located on the eastern border of Turon. It discusses Okuzia, the center of Turon, the Uzbeks, who are the descendants of the Tur, and the Ain (Ainli) people, who belong to the Kongrot and Qutji Uzbek tribes. It is explained that the Ain people migrated from Central Asia to the eastern border of Turon, with some of them remaining in Southern Siberia, Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. The Turkish word “kur” meaning “fearless” is also mentioned. The article also discusses the second part of the Ain people moving to Jobarqo (a place with dry land), their national flag, their closeness to the Beksaks, the meaning of “ain” in Turkish (wise), the total number of Ain people, their history, the first Japanese state, and the connection of the Japanese term “tenno” with the Turkish terms “tegin” and “tegıt.” It further explores the relationship of the Japanese term “shogun” with the Turkish term “sagun,” and the connection between the Japanese term “samurai” and the Turkish word “sangun.” The article discusses the inability of the Mongols (noble ancestors) to conquer Japan due to a sea storm, the shogunate families in Japanese history, the “Meiji Restoration” rebellion, and the toponyms of Hokkaido and Honshu. It notes that “Hon” is a Turkish term, mentions the ancient trade relations between the Japanese and the Okuzia people, and describes the Ain people’s museum and park in Japan. It also highlights the official recognition of the Ain people as the indigenous population of Japan, the affiliation of the Japanese language with the Altai language family, the integration of loanwords into the Japanese language, and issues related to the Japanese writing system.
