Abstract

This article examines the Kyrgyz diaspora residing outside the territory of Kyrgyzstan, particulary in Uzbekistan’s Fergana Valley. The article examines the settlement patterns, distribution across the valley, tribal structure, and cultural practices of the Kyrgyz diaspora. The Fergana Valley, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the independent states (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan), has long been known by an additional name, ‘Golden Valley’. The history, culture, language of the Kyrgyz and the Kyrgyz ethnic group are closely related to the population and culture of the Fergana Valley. It is a well-established fact that the Kyrgyz have inhabited the valley, its foothills and mountainous areas since time immemorial. Some historical sources and research works indicate that the Kyrgyz inhabited the Fergana Valley and adjacent areas during the 10th-11th centuries AD. In addition to historical sources, this is also evidenced by toponymic names related to the names (ethnotoponyms) of Kyrgyz tribes and clans, which are densely settled in the region. It is evident that comprehensive studies of the ethnic history, ethnogenesis, ethnic culture, language, material and spiritual culture of the Kyrgyz living in Uzbekistan have yet to be conducted.
