![]() Yusuf Khass Hajib was one of the best-known writers of eleventh-century Central Asia. Some of the best-known patrons of and contributors to the literature of Central Asia include the Qarakhanids (tenth century) the Timurids (fourteenth through sixteenth centuries) such as Amir Timur (1336-1405), Ulughbek (1394-1449), and Husayn Bayqara (143815o6) the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur (1483-1530) and the late nineteenth-century emir of Khoqand, Umarkhan. During this period numerous literary and poetic works were produced, often under the aegis of the great Turkic Muslim emperors, kings, sultans, and emirs and their courts. The longest era lasted until the second half of the nineteenth century. Historically and sociopolitically, we may distinguish three significant periods in the development of literature in Central Asia-the Islamicimperial, the colonial, and the post-independence periods. The development of a significant literary tradition in Turkic-speaking Central Asia dates back to the ninth and tenth centuries CE. The Turkic peoples of Central Asia had a state structure and a rich literary tradition long before the Russian conquest of the region. Central Asia is understood to include the territories of present Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, the native population of which is Turkic in race and Muslim in religion.
