High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Alpamysh, also spelled as Alp-amish or Alpamish (Uzbek language: Alpomish/Alpomish, Turkish: Alpamış, Kazakh Cyrillic script: Alpamys, Bashkir: Alpamysha, Russian: Alpamysh, Azerbaijani: Alpamış, Kazan Tatar: Alpamsha), is an ancient Turkic epic or dastan - ornate oral history, generally set in verse - and one of the most important examples of the Turkic oral literature of Central Asia. Among the Uzbeks the epic is known as "Alpamish," Kazakhs and Karakalpaks as "Alpamis," Altay mountaineers as "Alip-Manash," Bashkirs as "Alpamisha and Barsin khiluu," and Kazan Tatars as the tale of "Alpamşa." It is also known among other Turkic people, as well as Tajiks and Central Asian Arabs. According to scholars Borovkov, Hadi Zarif and Zhirmunskiy, as well as earlier writings by academician Bartold, all specialists in Oriental and Turkic studies, the dastan Alpamysh "existed probably in the foothills of the Altai as early as the sixth-eighth centuries at the time of the Turk Kaghanate." The tale of Alpamish was supplanted in ninth-tenth centuries from Altay mountains to Syr-darya river by the Oghuz Turks, where the story line continued on independently and became part of the Salor-Kazan tale, one of the main characters in the Book of Dede Korkut. The epic acquired its final form between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. Alpamish is one of the best known Turkic epics from among a total of well over 1,000 recorded epics among the Mongolian and Turkic language families by international scholars.
