Editing Suar Principality (section)

{{Short description|10th-century vassal state of Volga Bulgaria}}
'''Suar''' or '''Suvar principality''' was a medieval statelet subject to [[Volga Bulgaria]].

The principality appeared around the 940s CE. The population was a mix of Turkic [[Sabir people|Sabirs]] and local [[Turkic languages|Turkic]]- and [[Uralic languages|Uralic]]-speaking tribes such as the [[Mari people|Mari]]. The capital city was [[Suar, Volga Bulgaria|Suar]], whose ruler was titled "Bäk" (cf. [[Khazar]] "Bek"; Turkish "[[Bey]]".)

In 975 the principality was absorbed by Volga Bulgaria. From the 11th to 13th centuries, it was a semiautonomous province, until the [[Mongols]] conquered the state.
