Unpopular opinion: Oirats only wanted to stop Arabization/Persianization of Central Asia during their raids of Muslim CA

Oirats only tried to civilize your ancestors and actually help, but you people still see them as historical antagonist. Asian people cannot follow an Islam, it's so weird to see that kind of bizarre shits

How did the title "Khan" evolve in CA Turkic languages?

I'm just curious how this word evolved in Central Asian Turkic languages. I'll explain the evolution of "Khan" in the Mongolic languages.

As many of u know, the internationally known title "Khan" was actually "Khagan" in Middle Mongolian. Yes, Genghis Khan himself used the "Khagan" version.

So, what happened is, over centuries, the word "Khagan" evolved into "Khaan" by dropping the "g" sound in the middle, merging the vowels into a long "aa".

So basically, Khagan -> Kha'an -> Khaan in Mongolian.

I'd like to read about how it went in Turkic languages.
