The 'A-Zha Kingdom In the northeast corner of the plateau, the T'uyü-hun, Turko-Mongol peoples from northeast Asia, established a kingdom in the 4th century, a time when northern China was also governed by Turko-Mongol dynasties and tribes perhaps related to Tibetans.

The T'u-yü-hun seem to be the people known as 'A-zha in Tibet.
