Alat tribe

Alat (a.k.a. Ala-at, Ala, Alachin, Alagchin, Alchin, Alchi, Alayontli, Ulayundluğ (اُوﻻيُنْدْلُغْ) ("piebald horse", pinto); Boma 駁馬 or 駮馬 "piebald horse", Helai 賀賴, Helan 賀蘭, Hela 曷剌, Bila 弊剌;[a] dru-gu ha-la-yun-log[3] "Ha la yun log Turks"[4]) were one salient Turkic tribe known from Chinese annals.

Alats were possibly identical to Luandi[5] or Xueyantuo;[6] or Khalajes,[7][8] a Central Asian people known to medieval Arab and Persian Muslim geographers and in Bactrian inscriptions,[9]

Literature on Alats is very rich; Alats were a subject of study by Tangshu, Jiu Tangshu, Tang Huiyao, N.Ya. Bichurin, S.E. Malov, N.A. Aristov, Grigory Grum-Grshimailo, Yu. Nemeth, G. Hоworth, P. Pelliot, L. Hambis, and others.
