The territory of today's Afghanistan has hosted many civilizations. Turkish raids that started with Akhuns and Sakas to Afghanistan continued with Seljuks. Today people from Turkmen, Uzbek, Halac, Tatar, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Kizilbash, Karakalpak, Avşars live in Afghanistan. There is a large Turkish presence on the territory of Afghanistan. The fifth most populated tribe in Afghanistan is the Turkmens. Turkmens living in Afghanistan consist of different tribes. In the study, information about the history, geography and languages of the Afghanistan Turkmens, about which we have little knowledge, is given. Turkmens mostly live in the regions called Southern Turkestan, especially in the north of Afghanistan. Our study was carried out in the light of previous studies and the texts we compiled from the source people in the field study we conducted.
