you are wrong
barlas tribe was not turkisized monlgols bnut were one of the pure turcik tribes who left altay with cengiz khan army because of its extreme weather.
chengiz khans army mostly was consisted with turkic tribes so that is why they were succesful.
btw..tamerlan is calld as 'amir-temur' in central asia.
it means 'iron - commander'. if he was mongol HE would use used 'khan' with his name but he could not because mongols tthemselves didnt recognize him mongol.besides he hated monmgols...
