Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The major Turkmen tribes are Teke (Tekke), Yomut (Yomud), Arsary (Ersari), Chowdur (Choudur), and Saryk (Saryq).

The five traditional carpet designs that form motifs in the coat of arms of Turkmenistan and its flag belong to these tribes (and are named after them; for example, "Yomut carpet").

Other tribes of Turkmen people include Salyr (Salor), a tribe that declined as a result of military defeat before the modern period, and several smaller tribes and subtribes.
