Transoxiana

Japanese: Transoxiana
Transoxiana

...means "the land beyond the river (Amu Darya)" in Arabic. It is the same as the Western name for this region, Transoxiana, which means "the land beyond the Oxus River (Amu Darya)". In contrast, the nomadic region north of the Syr Darya was called Turkestan, or "the land of the Turks" in Persian. However, after the Kara-Khanid dynasty's rule of Ma Wara'annahr, which began at the end of the 10th century, Turks gradually flowed into this region, and as a result, this region, which had previously been called Persian, was Turkified. As a result, this region is now also called Turkestan, and the term Ma Wara'annahr is used as a kind of elegant name for this region.
