Turkic peoples
The Turkic peoples are a group of peoples. They speak languages belonging to the Turkic family. A Turkic person is called a Turk (e.g. a Kazakh Turk, a Kyrgyz Turk, and so on).
There are Turks in many places. Today, most people in Central Asia are Turks. Many Turks live in Siberia, the Caucasus area, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
There are also some in Pakistan and India, but are intermixed with the local people, like the Muhajir group in Pakistan.
