"Seljuk Turks" redirects here. For the territory over which they ruled, see Seljuk Empire.

The Seljuk dynasty, or Seljukids[1][2] (/ˈsɛldʒʊk/ SEL-juuk; Persian: سلجوقیان Saljuqian,[3] alternatively spelled as Seljuqs or Saljuqs), Seljuqs, also known as Seljuk Turks,[4] Seljuk Turkomans[5] or the Saljuqids,[6] was an Oghuz Turkic, Sunni Muslim dynasty that gradually became Persianate and contributed to the Turco-Persian tradition[7][8] in West Asia and Central Asia. The Seljuks established the Seljuk Empire (1037–1194), the Sultanate of Kermân (1041–1186) and the Sultanate of Rum (1074–1308), which stretched from Iran to Anatolia and were the prime targets of the First Crusade.

Early history edit

The Seljuks originated from the Kinik branch of the Oghuz Turks,[9][10][11][12] who in the 8th century lived on the periphery of the Muslim world; north of the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea in their Oghuz Yabgu State[13] in the Kazakh Steppe of Turkestan.[14] During the 10th century, Oghuz had come into close contact with Muslim cities.[15]

When Seljuk, the leader of the Seljuk clan, had a falling out with Yabghu, the supreme chieftain of the Oghuz, he split his clan from the bulk of the Oghuz Turks and set up camp on the west bank of the lower Syr Darya. Around 985, Seljuk converted to Islam.[15] In the 11th century, the Seljuks migrated from their ancestral homelands into mainland Persia, in the province of Khurasan, where they encountered the Ghaznavids. The Seljuks defeated the Ghaznavids at the Battle of Nasa Plains in 1035. Seljuk's grandsons, Tughril and Chaghri, received the insignias of governor, grants of land, and were given the title of dehqan.[16] At the Battle of Dandanaqan, they defeated a Ghaznavid army, and after a successful siege of Isfahan by Tughril in 1050/51,[17] established the Great Seljuk Empire. The Seljuks mixed with the local population and adopted the Persian culture and Persian language in the following decades.[18][19][20][21][22]

Later period edit

After arriving in Persia, the Seljuks adopted the Persian culture and used the Persian language as the official language of the government,[23][24][25] and played an important role in the development of the Turko-Persian tradition which features "Persian culture patronized by Turkic rulers".[26] Today, they are remembered as great patrons of Persian culture, art, literature, and language.[18][19][20]

Rulers of the Seljuk Dynasty edit

The "Great Seljuks" were heads of the family; in theory their authority extended over all the other Seljuk lines, although in practice this often was not the case. Turkic custom called for the senior member of the family to be the Great Seljuk, although usually the position was associated with the ruler of western Persia.

Bosworth, E. van Donzel and W.P. Heinrichs. Brill, 2009: "Culturally, the consisting of the Seljuq Empire marked a further step in the dethronement of Arabic from being the sole lingua franca of educated and polite society in the Middle East. Coming as they did through a Transoxania which was still substantially Iranian and into Persia proper, the Seljuqs with no high-level Turkish cultural or literary heritage of their own – took over that of Persia, so that the Persian language became the administration and culture in their land of Persia and Anatolia. The Persian culture of the Rum Seljuqs was particularly splendid, and it was only gradually that Turkish emerged there as a parallel language in the field of government and adab; the Persian imprint in Ottoman civilization was to remain strong until the 19th century.
  24. ^ Ehsan Yarshater, "Iran" in Encyclopedia Iranica: "The ascent of the Saljuqids also put an end to a period which Minorsky has called "the Persian intermezzo" (see Minorsky, 1932, p. 21), when Iranian dynasties, consisting mainly of the Saffarids, the Samanids, the Ziyarids, the Buyids, the Kakuyids, and the Bavandids of Tabarestan and Gilan, ruled most of Iran. By all accounts, weary of the miseries and devastations of never-ending conflicts and wars, Persians seemed to have sighed with relief and to have welcomed the stability of the Saljuqid rule, all the more so since the Saljuqids mitigated the effect of their foreignness, quickly adopting the Persian culture and court customs and procedures and leaving the civil administration in the hand of Persian personnel, headed by such capable and learned viziers as ‘Amid-al-Molk Kondori and Nezam-al-Molk."

The process of Persianization accelerated in the thirteenth century with the presence in Konya of two of the most distinguished refugees fleeing before the Mongols, Bahā' al-Dīn Walad and his son Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, whose Mathnawī, composed in Konya, constitutes one of the crowning glories of classical Persian literature."

marked a further step in the dethronement of Arabic from being the sole lingua franca of educated and polite society in the Middle East Coming as they did through a Transoxania which was still substantially Iranian and into Persia proper the Seljuqs with no high level Turkish cultural or literary heritage of their own took over that of Persia so that the Persian language became the administration and culture in their land of Persia and Anatolia The Persian culture of the Rum Seljuqs was particularly splendid and it was only gradually that Turkish emerged there as a parallel language in the field of government and adab the Persian imprint in Ottoman civilization was to remain strong until the 19th century Ehsan Yarshater Iran in Encyclopedia Iranica The ascent of the Saljuqids also put an end to a period which Minorsky has called the Persian intermezzo see Minorsky 1932 p 21 when Iranian dynasties consisting mainly of the Saffarids the Samanids the Ziyarids the Buyids the Kakuyids and the Bavandids of Tabarestan and Gilan ruled most of Iran By all accounts weary of the miseries and devastations of never ending conflicts and wars Persians seemed to have sighed with relief and to have welcomed the stability of the Saljuqid rule all the more so since the Saljuqids mitigated the effect of their foreignness quickly adopting the Persian culture and court customs and procedures and leaving the civil administration in the hand of Persian personnel headed by such capable and learned viziers as Amid al Molk Kondori and Nezam al Molk C E Bosworth Turkish expansion towards the west in UNESCO History of Humanity Volume IV From the Seventh to the Sixteenth Century UNESCO Publishing Routledge 2000 p 391 While the Arabic language retained its primacy in such spheres as law theology and science the culture of the Seljuk court and secular literature within the sultanate became largely Persianized this is seen in the early adoption of Persian epic names by the Seljuk rulers Qubad Kay Khusraw and so on and in the use of Persian as a literary language Turkish must have been essentially a vehicle for everyday speech at this time The process of Persianization accelerated in the thirteenth century with the presence in Konya of two of the most distinguished refugees fleeing before the Mongols Baha al Din Walad and his son Mawlana Jalal al Din
