The Qarakhanids were a Turkish confederation of Qarluqs, ruled by a  Khaqan. The Qarluqs accepted Islam (Sunni Muslims) in 10th century and established Qarakhanids dynasty , ruled  CA from 920-1212 AD. Unlike Ghaznavids and Saljuqs who started out as slave/freebooters they preserved their CA Turkic cultural heritage.
 
Qarakhanids played important culutural role for Muslim Turks similar to other dynasties in CA but differred from Ghanavids and Saljuqs in terms of lesser influence from Iranian culture.Two important contribution "Divan-e-Lughat" Turk by Mahmood Kashghari and " Qutadghu Bilig" by Yusuf Khas Hajib was the development of Turko-Islamic culture in CA. Now:
 
Apar from Divan-e-Lughat and Qutadghu Bilig, was  there any other contribution to Turkic literature in Qarakhanids era?
 
Did Kashghari and Yusuf Khas Hajib have other contributions?
 
What are Qarakhanids contribution in CA other then literarture?
 
What were reasons behind discontiuation of Qarakhanids Turko-Islamic culture?
 
Any info or comments!

Atabet'l Hakayık,writtenbyEdipAhmetYkneki(EdipAhmetformYknek)
Divan-ı Hikmet is another book written in that era. It's writer is Khwaja Ahmad Yasavi(Hoca Ahmet Yesevi).

You can't findmuchinformationabout these books writing these these names(at least you can't find in English), and I don't know how their names are written and pronounced in English, so wait for somebody to reply, this the most I can do.

Kharahanids were not Qarluqs. The royal family were Yaghma Uyghurs.
 
Thanks to the hojas and Communistic rule, we had two times of great movement of burning books, first time all the books except relegious one, second time all the old books. We don't have  much more works left from such a great learning center as Qashqer Sachie Madrasa, No wonder the manuscripts of Qutadghubilik and Diwanulughatulturk were found somewhere else.
 
There was a brief period of cultural discontinuity due to QaraQitan expansion, but very soon there was Timurid and Yarkan Said cultural revival.
 
 
Either make a history or become a history.
