English: Encyclopaedia-Britannica Vol. 22: A New Survey of Universal Knowledge, Vernacular Textiles (1937):
Khiva, Bokhara, in the Caucasus, and in Transcaspia, and prob- ably numbering about 1,000,000, They include the following clans, Chaudor, Yomut, Goklan, Akhal, Merv Tekkes, Sank, Salor and Ersari. The clan divisions are endogamous, and owing to the scarc- ity of women a high bride price is paid, and many of the men are unmarried. A large number of the Turkomans are nomadic horse- breeders, although some have become agriculturists. All of them are Moslems. Some of the Turkomans of the steppes appear to preserve the old Proto-Nordic physical type, but in most places they have absorbed the physical type and much of the culture of the people among whom they live. ( See Turks; Asia: Anthro- pology and Ethnology.) (L. H. D. B )
