A common designation for different Turkish peoples between the 5th and the 9th century, and surely a different transcription like Dili 狄歷, Dingling 丁零, or Chile 敕勒, for the Turkish word "Tölis", "Turk", or "Türkler", that means it is actually the same like Tujue 突厥, the proper Turks. The earliest Tölöš federation appears in the late 5th century when the chieftain of the "Fufuluo" 副伏羅 tribe, "Afuzhiluo" 阿伏至羅 united some tribes of the Gaoche 高車 nomads in a federation called "Houloufule" 候婁匐勒 that was destroyed by the Rouran 柔然 in the 530es. But from the late 6th century on the Tölöš took over the place of the Rouran and controlled the area between Lake Baikal and the Tarim Basin 塔里木盆地. The Tölöš became a part of the Turkish federation when Ashna Tumen 阿史那土門 became qaγan of the Turks. At the begin of the 7th century the Tölöš challenged the domination of the Western Turks, but a harsh treatment of Tölöš chieftains by the Turks kept them as Turkish subjects. "Geleng" 歌楞 of the "Qibi" 契苾 tribe proclaimed himself qaγan of the Tölöš ("Yiwu Zhenmohe Qaγan" 易勿真莫何可汗), and likewise a chieftain of the Syr-Tarduš as smaller qaγan ("Yedie Qaγan" 也咥可汗). The Tölöš controlled the Tarim Basin. Under the pressure of the Sui Dynasty 隋 they had to give up the title of qaγan. Later Tölöš cavalry helped the Tang Dynasty 唐 to defeat the Eastern Turks. In 646 emperor Tang Taizong 唐太宗 received the Tölöš embassador and installed the chieftains of the particular Tölöš tribes (Huige 回紇, Duolange 多濫葛, Pugu 僕骨, Bayegu 拔野古, Tongluo 同羅, Sijie 思結, Hun 渾, Huxue 斛薛, Adie 阿迭, Qibi 契苾, Xijie 奚結, Baixi 白霫) as Chinese prefects (cishi 刺史) and commanders-in-chief (dudu 都督). From the 740es on the Uighurs became the strongest people among the Tölöš.
