⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The Naimans are one of the ancient Turkic tribes that formed the Kazakh people. The Persian historian Rashid al-Din writes that the Naimans were a large state in history and an influential tribe of that century. The Naiman tribe founded many khanates, great uluses and khaganates, one of which was the Genghis Khan empire. In the middle of the 15th century, the tribe was the first to support Kerei and Zhanibek sultans, who separated from the Abulkhair Khanate and created the Kazakh Khanate. The Naimans are recorded in Chinese records as the oldest and strongest tribe of the Altai Mountains and the Sayan Range in Central Asia.
