The Lyuli, Jughi or Jugi (self-names: Mugat and Ghorbati) are a branch of the Ghorbati people living in Central Asia, primarily Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and southern Kyrgyzstan; also, related groups can be found in Turkey, and the Balkans,[6] Crimea, Southern Russia and Afghanistan.[7] They speak ethnolects of the Persian and Turkic language and practice Sunni Islam. The terms Lyuli and Jugi are considered pejorative. They have a clan organization (the Lyuli word for "clan" is tupar, the Jughi word is avlod). Division into sub-clans is also practiced. The Lyuli community is extremely closed towards non-Lyuli.[8]
