Baburnama (Chagatai/Persian: ???? ????;? literally: 'Book of Babur' or 'Letters of Babur'; alternatively known as Tuzk-e Babri) is the name given to the memoirs of ?ahir ud-Din Mu?ammad Babur (1483-1530); founder of the Mughal Empire and a great-great-great-grandson of Timur. It is an autobiographical work; originally written in the Chagatai language; known to Babur as 'Turki' (meaning Turkic); the spoken language of the Andijan-Timurids.

Because of Babur's cultural origin; his prose is highly Persianized in its sentence structure; morphology; and vocabulary; and also contains many phrases and smaller poems in Persian. During Emperor Akbar's reign; the work was completely translated to Persian by a Mughal courtier; Abdul Rahim; in AH 998 (1589-90 CE).
