===Origins===
{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2022}}

The Bashkir group was formed by [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] tribes of South Siberian and Central Asian origin, who, before migrating to the [[Southern Urals]], wandered for a considerable time in the [[Syr Darya|Aral-Syr Darya]] steppes (modern day central-southern [[Kazakhstan]]), coming into contact with the [[Pechenegs|Pecheneg-Oghuz]] and [[Kimek–Kipchak confederation|Kimak-Kipchak]] tribes. Therefore, it is possible to note that the Bashkir people originates from the same tribes which compose the modern [[Kazakhs]], [[Kyrgyz people|Kyrgyzes]] and [[Nogais]], but there has been a considerable cultural and a small ethnic exchange with [[Oghuz Turks|Oghuz]] tribes.

The migration to the valley of the Southern Urals took place between the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 10th century, in parallel to the Kipchak migration to the north.
