Middle Turkic refers to a phase in the development of the Turkic language family covering much of the Middle Ages (c. 900–1500 CE). In particular the term is used by linguists to refer to a group of Uyghuric and Oghuz and related languages spoken during this period in Central Asia Iran and parts of the Middle East occupied by the Seljuk Turks. Its best known literary form is the Karakhanid dialects spoken in Kashgar Balasaghun and other cities along the Silk Road.
