Kutrigurs under Attila

This article has several inconsistences.

1) "An interesting fact about the Kutrigurs is that, along with their counterpart the Utigurs, they formed the striking forces of Attila's Hunnic armies. After Attila's death, the larger part of the Kutrigurs returned to their homes in the Scythian plains."

This is obviously not an interesting fact, but pure nonsense, as Attila died at least about 100 years earlier in 453 and was long dead, when the Kutrigurs formed.

2) In the 'Utigur'-article, it is said: "In the mid 6th century some Utigur groups were conquered by the Eurasian Avars and became known as the Kutrigurs, while the remaining (eastern) portion retained the Utigur ethnicon." Obviously this means, the Kutrigurs were the western portion.

But: "The conquest of the easternmost Kutrigurs by Gokturk arrivals ..." But the eastern ones were Utigurs not Kutrigurs.

3) "The last of the Utigurs had settled in Pannonia (modern Syrmia) by April 677. The majority submitted to the Avar Kaghan, though some rebelled moving to Pelagonia under the leadership of Maurus (nicknamed Kuber meaning "rebel") ..." "Under the leadership of Kuber, another part of the Kutrigur tribe seems to have moved to Sirmium (Pannonia) and from there south to the Pelagonian plain." Now what? Utigurs or Kutrigurs?

Utigurs and Kutrigurs were tribes of Hunnic origin, later known as Bulgars. According to Romans historians, these two tribes formed the nucleus of the Hunnic Union in 4th century AD. The legend about Kerch marshes and the deer(stallion in some versions) is about the Kutrigurs, who returned home and told about the western lands to their relatives, Utigurs. The two tribes attacked the Goths together. The two names, Utigur and Kutrigur appear around 500 AD, some say Utigur and Kuturgur were grandsons of Attila, sons of his third son Ernak. Some historians think that Utigurs were the same people as Akatirs. Many historians consider the first two names in Bulgarian Prince List to be Attila and his son Ernak. [1]

Also their origin is not so unclear as it is usually assumed. Probably they were Yuezhi tribes - see article Huns, against Xiongnu. This is what is generally accepted among modern Bulgarian historians as Атанас Стаматов, Ж. Войников, Петър Голийски, Георги Владимиров, Цветелин Степанов, Тодор Чобанов and others.

Utigurs were eastern part, Kutrigurs - western.93.152.143.113 (talk) 05:55, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly is Kutri- / Kotrag- derived from Toqur-?

In the article is mentioned that the name of the tribe comes (presumably) from *toqur ("nine" in Türkish), however, I don't get how this is possible? Is there a rule in Turkish languages, which governs such a shuffling of syllables? If not, has ever been found any source, in which the Kutrigurs were called Tokurgurs / Dokirgurs or anything of this sort, upon which one can build such a relation?

this articles are written by turkish manafs, they believe that Kutrigurs were Turks. Kutrigurs were Huns and they were one tribe, not nine. Search google books to find out who were they, WP is not reliable (unless turkish manafs are banned from editing), you can start from these books, they were deleted many times from this article.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] [9][10][11][12] [13]

Again same IP sock (with adress in Sofia, Bulgaria) by blocked User:PavelStaykov. Those sources and statements were already discussed, and personal attack on other editors is not supported on Wikipedia. Your personal opinion and WP:OR is not supported on Wikipedia. If there's even a possibility Kutrigurs were Huns (and there's none evidence), then again Kutrigur name etymologically derives from Turkic since Huns spoke a Turkic language. However, you believe that Huns were Indo-Europeans (Yuezhi), which is a fringe theory already heard countless times since March 2015. So please stop spamming talk page walls with the same text over and over again. --Crovata (talk) 17:48, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then stop spamming WP pages with turkish shit. If the Huns spoke turkish language is only a hypothesis based on Pritsak's analyses of a couple personal names. Even if we assume that Huns spoke turkic, which is far from proven, this doesn't make them automatically turkic tribes. Language != nationality. And as a side note, Huns had their own language, from which later Turks borrowed many words, even the word Turk is not turkish, it is tocharian and was used for the first time by the tocharian Usun's kings in the mid 5 century. Some scholars have explained the words connecting the Yuezhi 月氏 or the Kushans as coming from the Turkic languages, thus concluding that the language of the Kushans was from the Türkic language branch. This theory is inadequate, It has been suggested that “Suo 索” [sheak] is a transcription of “Sacae.” In other words, it may be possible that the ancestors of the Türks originally were kin of the Sacae. If this is true, it would not be difficult to understand why some words and titles connected with the Yuezhi 月氏 or the Kushans can be explaned by the Türkic languages. In the Rājataraṅgiṇī (I, 170) there is a reference to the fact that the Türkic ruler in Gandhāra claimed his ancestor was Kaniṣka, and maybe this is not merely boasting.[14]

And the proper name is Kutrigari - it means small people

Stop calling renowned academical scholars, and modern mainstream scientifical opinion a "turkish shit" (Huns, Hunnic language). No one cares what's your and every others editor personal opinion, what we care is citing reliable sources by academical scholars who specilized in specific related field. Minor opinions and fringe theories are not supported or given equal weight like mainstream opinion - the end. Wikipedia, like every normal encyclopedia, is edited according WP:NPOV principles, and if you have something against that, then stop disruptively editing Wikipedia and start writing a personal historical blog (and check What Wikipedia is not).--Crovata (talk) 21:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In that case you should consider moving to Turkish Wikipedia, but before that take a close look at this video, manaf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQd-eg4FyKo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.36.107.103 (talk) 00:19, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Roman historians Themistius(317-390), Claudian(370-404), and later Procopius(500-560) called the Huns Massagetae.[15] The Huns were called Massagetae also by Ambrose(340-397), Ausonius(310-394), Synesius(373–414), Zacharias Rhetor(465-535), Belisarius(500-565), Evagrius Scholasticus(6th century) and others. Alexander Cunningham, B.S. Dahiya(1980, 23) and Edgar Knobloch(2001, 15) identify Massagetae with the Great Yuezhi: Da Yuezhi -> Ta-Yue-ti(Great Lunar Race) -> Ta-Gweti -> Massa-Getae. Dahiya wrote about the Massagetae and Thyssagetae : "These Guti people had two divisions, the Ta-Yue-Che and Siao-Yue-Che, exactly corresponding to the Massagetae and Thyssagetae of Herodotus ... " (Dahiya 1980, 23). Thyssagetae, who are known as the Lesser Getae, correspond with the Xiao Yuezhi, meaning Lesser Yuezhi.[16] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.254.217.110 (talk) 12:51, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks on other editors and WP:FRINGE theories, or through them manipulate with due and undue WP:WEIGHT of major and very minor viewpoints, are not welcome on Wikipedia.--Crovata (talk) 03:40, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kutrigur Bulgars

Kutrigurs were Huns and were related to the Bulgars.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Kutrigurs from Byzantine sources were identified with Kuci/Kidar Bulgars[7] and David Marshall Lang identified them with the Kidarites.[8] Kidarites appeared in Kazakhstan in 4th century and they originated from the Little Yuezhi.[9] Some of them inherited Kushan empire and were also called little Kushans.[10] [11] The little Yuezhi remained in north China and were included in the Xiongnu confederation under the name Chieh people. Sometimes they are also referred as Jie people.[12] Their number were not small at all - between 184 AD and 221 AD there was a serious revolt of the little Yuezhi in north China, Gansu.[13] Under pressure of Rouran Khaganate they started migration at the beginning of 4th century AD toward Kazakhstan. In 349 AD according to Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen 200 000 Chieh were slain.[14] This was the reason for their final migration from Gansu, China and the ultimate appearance of the Huns in Europe in 370 AD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.40.95.172 (talk) 09:51, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Origin

Regarding the edit by 500ГОДИНИСТИГАТ, which is very similar to the previous sections and WP:SYNTH edits done by PavelStaykov socks; the etymology is generally considered, not sometimes. The theory that the Kutrigurs were identified with Chdar/Kidar Bulgars is wrongly cited, they were identified by Josef Markwart (died 1930) and some unknown scholar with Duč'i (whose name some read as Kuchi) Bulgars, whose name identification with Kutrigurs does not make any etymological sense (neither is pointed out in which way) as they are etymologically identified to the river Dnieper (Kocho in Armenian), which is also pointed out in the source. The theory is mentioned by Vasil Zlatarski who died in 1935, and the source was originally released in 1918, almost century ago. No wonder that no one considers such "origin" theory today. The connection with the Kidarites by David Marshall Lang on page 31 is typical example of WP:SYNTH.--Crovata (talk) 00:47, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, David Marshall Lang mentioned Kutrigurs, but on page 34, "a name deriving from Old Turkish kötrügür, meaning 'conspicuous', 'eminent' or 'renowned'".--Crovata (talk) 01:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP ARTICLES SHOULD BE Neutral point of view AND NOT TO IMPOSE ONLY ONE POINT OF VIEW. CHECK OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN[1] STUPID ARGUMENTS TO JUSTIFY VANDALISM ARE NOT WELCOME. (e.g. the second law of thermodynamics was discovered before 2 centuries(=200 years) but it is still valid[2])--500ГОДИНИСТИГАТ (talk) 01:39, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your reaction only proves the connection with previous socks. Obviously you don't know anything about the subject, the neutrality (while in the same time using improper editorial synthesis) and terminology of vandalism on Wikipedia. That was invalid example. Some theories continue to be endorsed, but many do not, get over it.--Crovata (talk) 02:13, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MAY BE YOU ARE SOCK OR MAY BE 9(KUTUR) SOCKS? DRAW A MAP AND SEE WHERE ARMENIANS PLACE KIDAR/KIDARITE BULGARS - NEAR DON WHERE ROMANS PLACE KUTRIGURS - GET OVER IT. --500ГОДИНИСТИГАТ (talk) 03:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
