Kishlak or qishlaq (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx), or qıştaq (Template:Langx) qıstaw (Template:Langx) is a rural settlement of semi-nomadic Turkic peoples of Central Asia and Azerbaijan. The meaning of the term is "wintering place" in Turkic languages (derives from Turkic qış - winter).[1]
The converse term is yaylaq, a summer pasture.
Traditionally, a clay/mud fence (dewal, duval, from Persian: دیوار divār) surrounds a kishlak.
The term may be seen in the toponyms, such as Afgan-Kishlak (Uzbekistan), Yangi-Kishlak (Turkmenistan), Mangyshlak (Kazakhstan), Qışlaq (Azerbaijan) or Qeshlaq in Iran (such as Qeshlaq, Qareh Qeshlaq, and Qeshlaq Khas).
