The Alchon Huns, (Bactrian: αλχον(ν)ο Alchon(n)o) also known as the Alchono, Alxon, Alkhon, Alkhan, Alakhana and Walxon, were a nomadic people who established states in Central Asia and South Asia during the 4th and 6th centuries CE. They were first mentioned as being located in Paropamisus, and later expanded south-east, into the Punjab and central India, as far as Eran and Kausambi. The Alchon invasion of the Indian subcontinent eradicated the Kidarite Huns who had preceded them by about a century, and contributed to the fall of the Gupta Empire, in a sense bringing an end to Classical India.

dbo:abstract
  • The Alchon Huns, (Bactrian: αλχον(ν)ο Alchon(n)o) also known as the Alchono, Alxon, Alkhon, Alkhan, Alakhana and Walxon, were a nomadic people who established states in Central Asia and South Asia during the 4th and 6th centuries CE. They were first mentioned as being located in Paropamisus, and later expanded south-east, into the Punjab and central India, as far as Eran and Kausambi. The Alchon invasion of the Indian subcontinent eradicated the Kidarite Huns who had preceded them by about a century, and contributed to the fall of the Gupta Empire, in a sense bringing an end to Classical India. The invasion of India by the Huna peoples follows invasions of the subcontinent in the preceding centuries by the Yavana (Indo-Greeks), the Saka (Indo-Scythians), the Palava (Indo-Parthians), and the Kushana (Yuezhi). The Alchon Empire was the third of four major Huna states established in Central and South Asia. The Alchon were preceded by the Kidarites and succeeded by the Hephthalites in Bactria and the Nezak Huns in the Hindu Kush. The names of the Alchon kings are known from their extensive coinage, Buddhist accounts, and a number of commemorative inscriptions throughout the Indian subcontinent. The Alchons have long been considered as a part or a sub-division of the Hephthalites, or as their eastern branch, but now tend to be considered as a separate entity. (en)
  • Alchon (auch Alkhon genannt) ist der Name einer spätantiken zentralasiatischen Stammesgruppe, die um 400 im heutigen Afghanistan in der Region Kabul eine lokale Herrschaft etablieren konnte und im frühen 6. Jahrhundert Teile Nordwestindiens eroberte. Der Name Alchon ist nur auf Münzen belegt, schriftliche Quellen berichten nicht direkt über sie. (de)
  • Les Alkhon (bactrien : αλχοννο, alkhonno), Alxon (-xon/-khon signifiant probablement Hun), Alchon, Alakhana ou Walxon, dénommés ainsi d'après le terme (αλχοννο alkhonno) apparaissant sur leur monnaie, parfois aussi appelés Huns iraniens, sont un peuple Hun. Ils ont remplacé au IVe siècle le Royaume kidarite dans une zone géographique correspondant au Nord-Ouest de l'Inde actuelle, au Nord du Pakistan et à l'Afghanistan et ont disparu politiquement au VIe siècle. Ce groupe est appelé « Hūṇas » dans les sources indiennes et a longtemps été confondu avec les Hephthallites. Plusieurs de ses chefs sont décrits dans ces sources, tels que Khiṇgila, son successeur Tora-māṇa et Mihirakula. Ce dernier a été défait par des maharajas. Après sa mort (entre 542 à 550), une partie des Alkhon indiens sont partis vers l'Afghanistan. Après avoir consolidé leurs bases en Bactriane orientale, les Alkhon ont commencé leurs échanges diplomatiques avec la Chine en 457 (Dynastie Wei du Nord), contrôlant les routes autour de l'Hindou Kouch auparavant contrôlées par les Kidarites (Kidāras), et contribué à la chute de l'empire Gupta.

  • De Alchon waren een van de vier takken van de Heftalieten of Witte Hunnen. Vanaf 390 trokken zij naar het zuiden en in 430 vielen zij India binnen. Het is niet goed duidelijk of zij verwant zijn aan de Hunnen van Attila. (nl)
  • Алхоны, алхонские гунны (бактр: αλχον(ν)ο Alchon(n)o), также известные как Алхоно, Алхон, Алхан, Алахана и Валхон, были кочевым народом, основавшим государства в Центральной и Южной Азии в 4-м в. и 6 век н. э. Впервые они были упомянуты как находящиеся в Паропамисаде, а затем расширились на юго-восток, в Пенджаб и центральную Индию, до Эрана и Каусамби. Вторжение алхонов на Индийский субконтинент уничтожило кидаритских гуннов, которые предшествовали им примерно на столетие, и способствовало падению империи Гуптов, в некотором смысле положив конец классической Индии. Вторжение в Индию народов хуна следует за вторжением на субконтинент в предыдущие века яванов (индо-греки), саков (индо-скифы), палавы (индо-парфян) и кушан (юэчжи). Империя алхонов была третьим из четырёх крупных государств хуна, основанных в Центральной и Южной Азии. Алхонам предшествовали кидариты, а на смену им пришли эфталиты в Бактрии и незак-гунны в Гиндукуше. Имена королей алхонов известны из их обширной чеканки монет, буддийских отчетов и ряда памятных надписей по всему Индийскому субконтиненту. Эти правители принадлежат к ветви иранских гуннов, которых, согласно бактрийской легенде на их монетах, называли алхонскими гуннами. Более поздние исследования в области чеканки монет предположили, что алхоны были хионитами. (ru)
