Some researchers argued that the jüz in origin corresponded to tribal, military alliances of steppe nomads that emerged around the mid 16th century after the disintegration of the Kazakh Khanate. They played a role in regulating livestock, access to watering holes, pastures, and the sites of nomadic camps.[2]
According to some researchers, Kazakhs was separated in the First Civil War. Tribes that recognized Buidash Khan formed Senior jüz. Tribes that recognized Togym Khan formed Middle jüz. Tribes that recognized Ahmed Khan formed Junior jüz.

Fourth jüz
Various supposed fourth jüzes typically encompass members of other ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan, in particular
Family in jüzes
In jüzes, a clear purpose of each son in the family is determined. According to the customs and traditions of the Kazakhs, different people were engaged in the upbringing of each son.
- The eldest son went to be raised by his grandparents.
- The youngest son stayed with his parents and subsequently pledged to help the whole family.
- The middle son became a warrior. He was trained in swordsmanship, archery, etc.
To this day, knowledge of one's genealogical tree, including one's jüz, is considered a duty of every Kazakh.[7] Any relative who comes for help (even the most distant one) will definitely receive it.
