:Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat

Mirza Haidar Dughlat Beg in the Tarikh-i Rashidi constantly alludes to a distinct tribe or community of Moghuls in Mughalistan, however reduced in numbers, who had preserved Mongol customs, and from the incidental references to Mongolian phrases and terms, likely retained elements of the original Mongolian language, despite the growth of Islam and the growing use of the Turki language, the latter which Haider naturally spoke.{{cite book |url= https://archive.org/details/tarikhirashidia00rossgoog/page/n114/mode/2up?q=separate |title= The Tarikh-i-rashidi; a history of the Moghuls of central Asia; an English version |author= N. Ellas |page=82 }} According to the Tarikh-i Rashidi, Haider Dughlat considered his "Moghul Ulus" to be a separate people from the settled Turks of Transoxiania, from the fifteenth century and the first half of the sixteenth century.{{cite book |url= https://archive.org/details/TheTarikh-i-rashidi/page/n433/mode/2up?q=mongolian |author= Murad Butt |title=The Tarikh-i-rashidi |publisher=Karakoram Books }} According to Vasily Bartold, there are “some indications that the language of the Moghuls was Mongolian until the 16th century".{{cite book| author = Бартольд В.
