Yabgu (Old Turkic: Old Turkic letter O.svgOld Turkic letter G1.svgOld Turkic letter B1.svgOld Turkic letter Y1.svg, yabγu,Traditional Chinese: 葉護, Simplified Chinese: 叶护, Jabgu, Djabgu, literally, "pioneer", "guide") was a state office in the early Turkic states, roughly equivalent to viceroy. The title carried autonomy in different degrees, and its links with the central authority of Khagan varied from economical and political subordination to superficial political deference. The title had also been borne by Turkic princes in the upper Oxus region in post-Hephthalite times.
