âşık (English spelling) asik

...A Turkish plucked string instrument (illustration). The body is made of hollowed-out mulberry wood covered with thin, straight-grained boards of pine or other wood. The long neck has 10-33 (usually 19-24) vinyl strings attached to the frets, allowing for minute pitches such as 3/4. The frets can be moved to adjust the pitch finely. The strings are made of steel wire and copper-wound wire (for bass), with 3-11 (usually 6-7) strings, which are tuned in three groups and there are several tuning methods. The middle string produces a lower tone than the others, for example, in the So-So-Re-Re-La-La style, the La tone is the main melody string, and the others often produce drones (sustained tones) or chords. ...

From the Turkish tribe

...the term refers to peoples who speak one of the Turkic languages, and who currently live in a wide range of areas in Eurasia, from the Yakuts in the east to the Turks, Gagauz, and Karaim in the west. However, they have not necessarily lived in these areas since ancient times. For example, Anatolia, where the Turks currently live, was originally the home of Hittites and Greeks, and the oasis settlements of Central Asia, where the Uzbeks, Uighurs, and others currently live, were the home of Aryan peoples such as the Sogdians and Tocharians.
