History

The Bayandur are known from Arab and Persian sources.[1]

The Bayandur were one of seven original tribes that made up the Kimek confederation, along with the Imur[2]/Kimek[3], Imak[2]/Yamak[3], Tatar, Kipchak, Lanikaz and Ajlad.[4] The Kimek tribes originated in the Central Asian steppes, and had migrated to the territory of present-day Kazakhstan.[2] The Bayandur, as part of the Kimek, were mentioned by Gardizi.[5]

The Bayandur left the Kimek and joined the Oghuz. After disintegrating, half of the tribe united with the Kipchaks.[6] While part of the Oghuz, they were mentioned by Kashgari.[5] They were described in the Russian Annals on 11th-century events while part of the Kipchaks.[1]
