Mahmud ibn Hussayn ibn Muhammad al-Kashgari (Arabic: محمود بن الحسين بن محمد الكاشغري; Turkish: Kaşgarlı Mahmud), born in 1008, was an early Turkic[1][2][3] linguist of Turkic languages from the Kara-Khanid Khanate, born in Kashgar, East Turkestan. He was a renowned scholar and lexicographer of Turkic dialects.
His father, Husayn, was the mayor of Barsgan and related to the Karakhanid ruling dynasty. His mother, Bibi Rābiy'a al-Basrī, was of Arab descent.[citation needed] He studied Turkic dialects and wrote the first comprehensive dictionary of Turkic languages, the Dīwān ul-Lughat al-Turk (Arabic: "collection of Turkic words") in 1072. It was intended for use by the Caliphs of Baghdad, the new, Arabic allies of the Turks. Mahmud Kashgari's comprehensive dictionary contains specimens of old Turkic poetry in the typical form of quatrains (Persian/Arabic: رباعیات rubāiyāt; Turkish: dörtlük), representing all the principal genres: epic, pastoral, didactic, lyric, and elegiac. His book also included the first known map of the areas inhabited by Turkic peoples.
