Middle Juz

Middle Juz

Middle Juz (also Jüz) ( _kz. Орта жүз) is one of three main tradional divisions of the Kazakh nation. The other two are Senior Juz and Junior Juz.

Middle Juz consists of six tribes. The tribes, in turn, are subdivided into clans, creating a hierarchical piramid of affiliations. Some historians claim that Middle Juz have originated from first Huns. But tribes of modern Middle Juz were fully revealed to european accounts only during Genghis Khan's era.

A linguistic trace of Juz political organization can be found in semantically identical words of Church Slavonic meaning "links, cuffs".
