Amir Temur

Timur (1336 – 19 February 1405), among his other names, he is commonly called as Tamerlane. He was a 14th century Turco-Mongol[3] conqueror of much of western and central Asia, and founder of the Timurid Empire and Timurid dynasty (1370–1405) in Central Asia, which survived until 1857. Timur belonged to a family of Turkicized Barlas clan of Mongol origin. He was Turkic in identity and language, he aspired to restore the Mongol Empire. He was also steeped in Persian culture and in most of the territories which he incorporated, Persian was the primary language of administration and literary culture. Thus the language of the settled "diwan" was in Persian and its stribe had to be adept in Persian culture, regardless of their ethnic origin.
