Magtymguly Pyragy (Persian: مخدومقلی فراغیMakhdumqoli[a] Farāghi; Turkmen: Magtymguly Pyragy; Turkmen pronunciation:[ˌmɑɣtɯmɢʊˈlɯˌpɯɾɑːˈɣɯ]; c. 1724 – 1807),[2] born Magtymguly, was a Turkmen spiritual leader, philosophical poet, Sufi and traveller who is considered to be the most famous figure in Turkmen literary history.[3]
Magtymguly is the greatest representative of Turkmen literature, credited with the creation of Turkmen written literature, and whose literary form became a powerful symbol of the historical and the incipient national consciousness of the Turkmen people.[4] He is part of a unique period in the cultural history of Central Asia, with his exceptional talent projecting his personal poetic synthesis onto the next generation of poets of the region.[5]
In a wider context, Magtymguly is often placed alongside major figures of the Turkic literary world such as Hoja Ahmad Yasawi, Yunus Emre, Ali-Shir Nava'i and Fizuli.[6]
