The Qaŋlï (Qangly) were a branch of the Qïpčaqs (Qypchaqs). After the dissolution of the Khwarazmian Empire, an important amount of their Qïpčaq soldiers immigrated to Anatolia during the reign of the Seljuk sultan Alaaddin Kayqubad I in the 1230s. Some of these later went southwards into Syria and Palestine, but some stayed and merged into the Oġuz Turks and Zazas. Today, some villages and towns in Turkey from Aydın to Tunceli carry the name "Horzum" and its variants, indicating that their dwellers are descendents of these Khwarazmian Qypchaqs - of course, some of them must have been of Qangly origin as well. The Qanglys that stayed in Central Asia merged into the Golden Horde. Some of the Kazakhs might be their descendents, but I'm not very good at the recent history and ethnology of Central Asia.

Yes, most of them stayed in Central Asia and kept that name for several centuries afterwards. Kazakh clan Qanly (of the Senior Juz), Kyrgyz Qandy and Uzbek Qongli originate from Qangly. There are also descendants of Qangly among modern Bashkirs, Karakalpaks and Nogays.
