## History of peoples and countries:
From the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century, while the West distinguished between the various Turkish languages (branches of Altaic languages), some foreign scholars and writers have coined the term "Turkestan" to refer to the region south of the Tianshan Mountains and northern Afghanistan, which generally covers the areas from southern Xinjiang to Central Asia.
They called the regions on both sides of the Pamirs "West Turkestan" and "East Turkestan".
