From the 6th century CE, Turkic speakers gradually moved in.

After 1077 a group of Turkic speakers pushed into Anatolia and founded the modern nation of Turkey.

Turkic languages are spoken as a native language by some 170 million people and the total number of Turkic speakers, including second-language speakers, is over 200 million.

The Compendium is the first comprehensive dictionary of the Turkic languages and also includes the first known map of the Turkic speakers' geographical distribution.

The population was mostly Bulgars, who had conquered Finno-Ugrics and Turkic speakers of the region.

The speakers of this language are about 40% of all Turkic speakers.

Turkic speakers, such as the Azerbaijani, Turkmen and the Qashqai peoples, comprise a substantial minority.

Further influence can be found in Kazan of Russia, Turkistan/Central Asia, modern day Turkey and all other areas which Turkic speakers inhabit.
