Meskipun dinasti ini berasal dari etnis Turki Asia Tengah, namun telah sangat terpengaruh Persia dalam bidang bahasa, budaya, sastra, serta adat kebiasaan,[13][14][15][16] sehingga beberapa ahli memandangnya lebih sebagai suatu "dinasti Persia" daripada Turki.[9][11][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
Dinasti Ghaznawiyah didirikan oleh Sabaktakin. Ia adalah seorang komandan militer berkebangsaan Turki. Awalnya, Sabaktakin hanyalah seorang budak dari Al-Batakin. Tuannya adalah seorang gubernur jenderal di Dinasti Samaniyah yang awalnya menguasai wilayah Khurasan. Namun, ia pindah ke Ghaznah dan berkuasa atasnya melalui kekuatan militer. Perpindahan ini dilakukannya setelah mengalami permusuhan dengan seorang wali kota Dinasti Samaniyah yang bernama Manshur bin Nuh.[27]
Al-Batakin merebut wilayah Ghaznah yang terletak di Afganistan pada tahun 962 M. Ia kemudian membentuk Dinasti Ghaznawiyah dengan wilayah kekuasaan meliputi Afganistan dan Punjab.[28]
Sabaktakin memperoleh posisi sebagai pemimpin setelah terjadi perebutan kekuasaan di antara komandan militer di Ghaznah. Perebutan kekuasaan terjadi akibat wafatnya Al-Batakin dan putranya yang bernama Abu Ishaq. Posisi sebagai pemimpin diperoleh Sabaktakin pada tahun 366 H atau 976 M.[29]
Sabaktakin ditetapkan sebagai pendiri Dinasrti Ghaznawiyah dibandingkan dengan Al-Batakin. Karena 16 khalifah Dinasrti Ghaznawiyah sesudahnya merupakan keturunan langsung darinya.[28] Nama Dinasti Ghaznawiyah ditetapkan oleh Sabaktakin. Penamaan ini didasarkannya dengan penetapan ibu kota pemerintahannya di Ghaznah.[30]
Wilayah kekuasaan
Pada masa awal pemerintahan Dinasti Ghaznawiyah oleh Sabaktakin, wilayahnya hanya kota Ghaznah. Setelah pemerintahannya stabil, Sabaktakin memperluasnya dengan penaklukan kota Qashdar dan Bast. Setelah itu, ia memperluasnya lagi hingga ke wilayah India.[30] Selama masa pemerintahannya, wilayah Dinasti Ghaznawiyah membentang dari Ghaznah hingga ke tepi sungai Indus.[30]
Dinasti Ghaznawiyah menguasai seluruh wilayah India pada akhir abad ke-9 M. Khalifah yang memerintah saat itu adalah Muhammad Ghaznah.[31]

At the same time, the official language was Persian, the court literature was in Persian, and most of the chancellors, ministers, and mandarins were Persian speakers of the highest learning and ability"

(3 September 2012);"Princes, although they were often tutored in Arabic and religious subjects, frequently did not feel as comfortable with the Arabic language and preferred literature in Persian, which was either their mother tongue—as in the case of dynasties such as the Saffarids (861–1003), Samanids (873–1005), and Buyids (945–1055)—or was a preferred lingua franca for them—as with the later Turkish dynasties such as the Ghaznawids (977–1187) and Saljuks (1037–1194)".

Excerpt: "We should distinguish two complementary ways in which the advent of the Turks affected the language map of Iran. First, since the Turkish-speaking rulers of most Iranian polities from the Ghaznavids and Seljuks onward were already iranized and patronized Persian literature in their domains, the expansion of Turk-ruled empires served to expand the territorial domain of written Persian into the conquered areas, notably Anatolia and Central and South Asia. Secondly, the influx of massive Turkish-speaking populations (culminating with the rank and file of the Mongol armies) and their settlement in large areas of Iran (particularly in Azerbaijan and the northwest), progressively turkicized local speakers of Persian, Kurdish and other Iranian languages."(John Perry.
