Manghit

The Manghud, or Manghit were a Mongol tribe of the Urud-Manghud federation and mainly a sub-clan of the Borjigin clan, but later intermixed with the Golden Ultai, the Chinggisid line of Nogai Khan, The Manghuds who moved to the Desht-i Qipchaq steppe became Turkified. They established the Nogai Horde in the 14th century and the Manghit dynasty to rule the Emirate of Bukhara in 1785. They took the Islamic title of Emir instead of the title of Khan, since they were not descendants of Genghis Khan and rather based their legitimacy as rulers on Islam. However, Persian historian Rashid-al-Din Hamadani who chronicled the Mongols, claimed that many old Mongolian clans were founded by Borjigin members. The clan name was used for Mongol vanguards as well. Members of the clan live in several regions of Central Asia and Mongolia.
