Tabgach
Tabgach was a central Asian name for
China, derived from
Tuoba (拓跋), a powerful
Xianbei tribe.
Also the byname for the
Tang Empire in Tangri
Bilge's
Orhon inscriptions.
At that time China was dominated by half-Xianbei and half-Chinese people.
The Turkish khan bashed the Tabgach for being content with sedentary life.
Later, a Kara-Khanid sultan of Kashgari was given the name Tabgach Mahmoud.
