Alaqush Tegin Quri or Alaqush Digit Quri[1] (Persian: اولاقوش تیکین قوری, romanized: Alāqūsh Tīkīn Qūrī, Chinese: 阿剌兀思剔吉忽里; pinyin: Āláwùsī Tījí Hūlǐ, died 1211) was a tribal leader of Onguds and a contemporary of Genghis Khan.
He was Nestorian ruler of Turkic ancestry who is first remembered by sources when he was approached by the Nayman prince Tayang Khan in 1203, who shared the same cultural and religious background with him.
While the Naimans were negotiating for a possible alliance against Temujin, Alaqush secretly sent a messenger named Johannan to him, informing them of brewing troubles.
Alaqush was posthumously awarded the title King of Gaotang (高唐王) by Emperor Chengzong of Yuan in 1305.
Descendants of Alaqush continued to intermarry with the Borjigin family and retained special status within the empire for generations:[4]
