The Timurid dynasty (Persian: ?????????), self-designated Gurkani [3][4][5] (Persian, was a Sunni Muslim Persianate[6][7] dynasty of Turco-Mongol lineage[7][8][9][10] which ruled over modern-day Iran, the Caucasus, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, much of Central Asia, as well as parts of contemporary Pakistan, Syria, India, Anatolia.
