Kouloughlis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Kouloughli)
Kouloughlis, also known as Cologhlis and Qulaughli (from Ottoman Turkish) means "children of subjects", it is equivalent to kuloğlu, the contraction of kul ("subject"), ("soldier") and oğul ("son") in modern Turkish. The term is used to designate the offspring, and descendants, of Turkish men and North African women.[1][2][3] The phrase comes from the fact that the rulers of the Ottoman Empire conquered much of North Africa and sent Turkish colonizers to Algeria, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia; their children, the society’s "elite" were therefore given the name "Kouloughlis".
