LIST OF MEDIEVAL MONGOLIAN TRIBES AND CLANS

(Redirected from Kiyad)
The qualifier 'Mongol Tribes' was established as an umbrella term in the early 13th century, when Temüjin (later Genghis Khan) united the different tribes into the Mongol Nation, the precursor of the Mongol Empire. Besides the original Mongols, many of those clans and tribes were of Turkic, and some of Tungusic or other origin. The unification created a new common social identity as Mongols.
