(Redirected from Asagel)'Esegels' (or ''Äsägel'') were
Eurasian nomads, that joined the
Volga Bulgaria state and were assimilated to
Bolgars. They were probably of Turkic or perhaps Ugric origin. They are supposed to have originated from Central Asian tribe
Chigil or
Ishkil. Their living in Volga Bulgaria in 9th-10th centuries was also mentioned at
ibn Fadlan.
According to some theories , the modern
Szeklers are a branch of the Esegels.
