The Turks are an ethnolinguistic group historically active in the Mongolian Plateau and Central Asia. Modern Turks are not a single ethnicity but a collective term for various ethnic groups whose languages belong to the Turkic language family. They are mainly distributed in Central Asia and Western Asia, including countries such as Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Russia, China, and Azerbaijan.
