In Turkey's general parlance today, the terms "Türkmen" and "Yörük" indicate the gradual degrees of preserved attachment with the former semi-nomadic lifestyle of the populations concerned, with the "<a href="/wiki/Turkmen_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Turkmen people">Turkmen</a>" now leading a fully sedentary life, while keeping parts of their heritage through folklore and traditions, in arts like carpet-weaving, with the continued habit of keeping a <i>yayla</i> house for the summers, sometimes in relation to the <a href="/wiki/Alevi" class="mw-redirect" title="Alevi">Alevi</a> community etc. and with Yörüks maintaining a stronger association with nomadism. These names ultimately hint to their <a href="/wiki/Oghuz_Turks" title="Oghuz Turks">Oghuz</a> <a href="/wiki/Turkic_peoples" title="Turkic peoples">Turkish</a> roots. The remaining "true" Yörüks of today's Anatolia traditionally use horses as a means of transportation, though these are steadily being replaced by trucks. </p><p>The Yörüks are divided in a large number of named endogamous patrilineal tribes (aşiret). Among recent tribes mentioned in the literature are Aksigirli, Ali Efendi, Bahsıs, Cakallar, Coşlu, Qekli, Gacar, Güzelbeyli, Horzum, Karaevli, Karahacılı, Karakoyunlu, Karakayalı, Karalar, Karakeçili, Manavlı, Melemenci, San Agalı, Sanhacılı, Sarıkeçili, Tekeli and Yeni Osmanlı.
