Zhuz

A zhuz (Kazakh: жүз jüz [ʒʉz], also translated as "horde" or "hundred") is one of the three main territorial and tribal divisions in the Kypchak Plain area that covers much of the contemporary Kazakhstan, and represents the main tribal division within the ethnic group of the Kazakhs.

The Senior zhuz (also Greater zhuz; Kazakh: Ұлы жүз / Ulı jüz) or Uysun horde covers territories of southern and southeastern Kazakhstan, northwestern China (Xinjiang) and parts of Uzbekistan.

The Middle zhuz (Kazakh: Орта жүз / Orta jüz) or Argyn horde consists of six tribes, covering central and eastern Kazakhstan

The Junior zhuz (also Lesser zhuz, Kazakh: Кіші жүз / Kişi jüz)) or Alshyn horde consists of three tribes, covering western Kazakhstan.

History

The earliest mention of the Kazakh jüz or hordes dates to the 17th century. Velyaminov-Zernov (1919) believed that the division arose as a result of the capture of the important cities of Tashkent, Yasi, and Sayram in 1598.

Some researchers argued that the jüz in origin corresponded to tribal, military alliances of steppe nomads that emerged around mid-16th century after the disintegration of the Kazakh Khanate. Yuri Zuev argued their territorial division comprises three ecological or topographic zones, the Greater zhuz of the southern and southeastern steppe being set apart from the two other zones by Lake Balkhash.
