Turco-Mongols or Turko-Mongols are mainly the descendants of those Turks who were ruled over by the Mongols. Speaking mostly in Turkic they derived their ethnic and cultural origins from both groups. Turko-Mongol is used to describe the people of the Mongol Khanates which had large Turkic representation, the Ilkhanate, Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde and sometimes also to describe successor Khanates and principalities such as the Khanate of Kazan, the Nogai Khanate and the Empire of Timur.
