Khanate of Bukhara
The Khanate of Bukhara was an Uzbek state in Central Asia founded by Muhammad Shaybani, who drove the Timurids out of Transoxiana. Ruled by the Shaybanid and then the Janid (Ashtarkhanid) dynasties, Bukhara remained a centre of Islamic learning and Naqshbandi Sufism. It became the Emirate of Bukhara under the Manghit dynasty in 1785.
