Mahmud Kashgari ibn Husayn ibn Muhammad was born in Kashgar. His father, Husayn was the mayor of Barsgan, his mother, Bubi Rabiya Basri, was an intelligent woman. He studied Turkic dialects and wrote about them in Divanü Lügat-it-Türk (The Dictionary of Turkish language) in 1072. It was intended for use by the Caliphs of Baghdad, the new Arab allies of the Turks. He included the first known Turkish map in his book.
