Base

[edit]

The ancestor is considered to be Orozbak, the son of Kylzhyr. Kylzhyr was the son of Tagai-biy. Orozbak had five sons: Aryk-myrza, Asan-myrza, Kara-myrza, Myrzakul-myrza and Tokoch-myrza, who later became the founders of the divisions of the same name. The most numerous offspring belong to Myrzakul-myrza. From his two sons Alseit and Tynymseit, most of the Buginians descend. Sometimes the descendants of Aryk-myrza are separated into a separate independent tribe - Aryk Tukumu.[2]

Etimology

[edit]

There is a legend with the name "Bugu" according to which Aryk-myrza and Kara-myrza, chasing a young deer (in Kyrgyz "bugu"), will rule her to the edge of the cliff. The deer will turn into a girl. The girl will be married to the son of Myrzakul-myrza's brother - Alseit.[3][4]

Genetics

[edit]

The representatives of this tribe are dominated by haplogroup R1a1[5][6][7]

Tamgha

[edit]

The tamga of the tribe is "zhagalmai", which is translated as "merlin" (a bird from the falcon family). The tamga sign resembles a flying merlin or a drawn bow.[8] Also, the Bugu have intra-tribal variants of tamga.

Divisions

[edit]

Bugus are divided into the following types:

  • • Tynymseyit (Kyrgyz: Тынымсейит)
  • • Aryk (Kyrgyz: Арык)
  • • Zhelden (Kyrgyz: Желдең)
  • • Bapa (Kyrgyz: Бапа)
  • • Kydyk (Kyrgyz: Кыдык)
  • • Belek (Kyrgyz: Белек)
  • • Kara-Köynök (Kyrgyz: Кара-Көйнөк)

Each branch is divided into clans (Uruk).[9][10]

Settlement

[edit]

Currently, Buginians live in the Issyk-Kul Region, in the northeast of the Naryn Region, as well as in Kyzylsu and near the Tekes River.[11]

Number

[edit]

According to N.A. Aristov, the number of Kirghiz-Bugins in 1853 was 10,000 yurts,[12] and in 1894 it was 15.1 thousand yurts or 75.5 thousand people. According to the population census in 1897, the total number of Kyrgyz on the territory of the Russian Empire was 634.8 thousand people. Accordingly, in percentage terms, the Buginians accounted for about 12% of the total number of Kyrgyz in the Russian Empire.
