Shaybanids in Depth
Culture
Muhammad Shaybani Khan, and his successors, started a program of translating of Persian literature into Chagatai-Turkish. Despite this, the main bureaucratic language continued to be Persian. Over time, they underwent Karlukification of culture and heritage; by the 17th century, most Shaybanid Uzbeks and their descendant khanates were entirely assimilated to Karluk frameworks and reconciled with the Timurid dynasty in India by proclaiming themselves heirs and protectors of Timurid heritages, effectively nullified the original Kipchak root of the Uzbeks into a heavily Chagatai Karluk one.
