Jalair also Djalair, Yyalair, Jalayir, is a tribe of Mongolic or Turkic origin. They are first recorded as the Chaladi in Chinese sources of 910 in eastern Inner Mongolia. They are later recorded as having lived along the Kerulen River and Orkhon River in modern day Central and Eastern Mongolia, between the Merkits and Keraits. After the Mongol conquest in the 13th century many Jalairs spread over Central Asia and the Middle East. Jalairs become part of various Mongolic and Turkic peoples. Jalairs are one of the founding tribes of Mongolia's largest ethnic group Khalkha. People with the clan name of Jalayir are also found in Inner Mongolia in China. The Jalayirs who stayed in Central Asia under the rules of Genghis Khan's older sons' descendants eventually become part of various Turkic people of central asia. They are found among the Kazakhs of the Great jüz; also they are found among the Uzbeks (especially among Uzbeks of Southern Tajikistan and Afghanistan), Karakalpaks, and the Kyrgyz. The Jalairs who went to Iran and Iraq founded the Jalairid Sultanate in 1330, and expanded into Turkey. The state was subjugated by the Kara Koyunlu in 1432.
