Özet
The administrative structure of the Crimean Khanate was based on a land system with a hierarchical division between the ruling dynasty and the tribal aristocracy. This system maintained the administrative traditions established during the Mongol Empire and was refined during the Golden Horde period and later adopted by various successor khanates. Despite the Crimean Khanate’s integration into Ottoman political spheres from the late 15th century on, the land system, deeply rooted in tribal aristocracy, persisted. This study explores the Khanate’s land system and its lexicon within the broader context of Mongolian administrative paradigms established by Chinggis Khan and adapted by the Golden Horde. The terminological and functional aspects of the administrative structure are examined through an analysis of primary sources, including diplomatic correspondence and significant historical documents from the Crimean Khanate period. The investigation includes a philological and historical analysis of institutional terminology to trace its lexicosemantic evolution through historical transitions.
