Jagatai...
"Jagatai, or Chagatai, flourished from the 15th to the 17th century
as the Turkic literary language in use at Samarkand and Bukhara,
and as far south as Herat, Afghanistan.   Usually known as Old
Uzbek
, it derives its name from Jagatai, a son of Genghis Khan,
who ruled much of Turkestan until his death in 1242.   Jagatai was
written in the Uighur script, an alphabet of 14 consonantal
letters, written vertically, which developed from the Syriac.   In
the late 16th century Turkestan was conquered by the Uzbeks,
and Jagatai gave place to Uzbek as the literary tongue.   However,
Jagatai is the Turkic-stock language of the several hundred
thousand Tekké Turkomans of the Gulistan mountains around
Merv."
