History
The Teke dynasty started with a split of territories between two brothers of the neighboring Beylik of the Hamidid dynasty. One brother, Yunus Bey, became the first ruler of the Teke beylik. The inhabitants spoke Anatolian Turkish.
During the reign of the last ruler, Othman, the Ottoman Empire annexed the beylik in 1391. However, during his invasion of Anatolia in 1402, Timur restored Othman to his rule. In 1423, the Ottomans definitively re-annexed the beylik.
