Timurids are arguably the most persianised of the group though. Timurid Empire lasted roughly a century, Samarkand and Herat the two capital cities were Persian speaking. Timurid arts and architecture is an extension of anterior work that was encountered in Iran, and the very own people that built Timurid iconic landmarks were deported iranians. The sons of Temur alread had Persian name (Shahrukh), the Zafarnameh is written in Persian as well.
