маңҡорт
Bashkir
Etymology
This term was introduced by the Kyrgyz author Chinghiz Aitmatov in his 1980 novel The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years, and originally denoted a "prisoner of war who was turned into a slave by having his heads wrapped in camel skin", which supposedly resulted in that "...A mankurt did not recognise his name, family or tribe — a mankurt did not recognise himself as a human being." (For citations and more, see w:Mankurt.)
However, this term quickly caught on in the sense of "a person deprived of cultural and ethnic identity," and became popular in Russian and in the languages of Central Asia.
