Kazakh clan structure is passed down through the paternal line, from father to son.^([88])According to oral genealogies, Kazakh tribes are considered the descendants of the emirs of the Golden Horde, who, according to the genealogy (shezhire), are regarded as their ancestors.

Origin of Kazakh Tribes and сlans:

According to Canadian historian Joo-Yup Lee, modern Kazakhs are composed of:^([152])

• Tribes of Mongol origin: Dulat, Manghuts, Khongirat, Uysun and others.
• Tribes of non-Mongol or Mongol or Turkic origin, but from the Mongolian steppes: Jalayir, Kerei, Naimans and others.
• Indigenous Turkic tribes from the Kipchak steppes: Kipchak, Kangly and others.
• Newly formed or emerging tribes of the Mongol Empire: Argyn and others.

Three Kazakh hordes:

Modern-day Kazakhs who still remember their tribes know that their tribes belong to one of the three jüz, a term roughly translatable as "horde" or "hundred":

• The Senior Horde (also called Elder or Great)(Uly juz)
• The Middle (also called Central) (Orta juz)
• The Junior (also called Younger or Lesser)(Kishi juz)

What tribe do you come from, other former nomadic Turkic or Mongol peoples? And do you recognize the Kazakhs as the heirs of the Western Mongol Empire?
