Kankalis, Qanqlis, or Kangly (Kangli/Qangli) were a Turkic people of Eurasia. They were supposedly related or part of the Pechenegs. Alternatively they could have been Kipchaks. The relationship of the "Kangars" (allies of the Eastern Turk Khahanate against the Western Turk Khaganate), if any, to the Kankalis, is unclear. Konstantinos Porphyrogenetos notes in his De Administrando Imperio that three groups of the Pechenegs are called Kangar. The name "Kangar" is associated with the Kang territory and probably with the Kangaris people and the city of Kangu Tarban, mentioned in the Kul Tigin inscription of the Orkhon Turkic peoples.
