Kurdak-Sargat Tatars are a sub-group of Siberian Tatars.[1] They are settled in Omsk Oblast, mainly in the Ust-Ishimsky and Tevrizsky district, and in Tyumen Oblast, in the Vagaysky district. Their historical administrative center was the town of Qyzyl-Tura.[2]
They are divided into two local sub-groups:
- Kurdak Tatars
- Sargat-Utuz Tatars[3].
They speak Tevriz speach of Tobol-Irtysh dialect of Siberian Tatar language.[4]
Origin and ethnogenesis
Kurdak-Sargat Tatars are descended from the earliest Turkic settlers in the area, southern Khanty, as well as Noghay and Tobol Tatar elements (the latter date from 1580's). One characteristic is a lack of intermixing with Bukharans. If intermixing with Bukharans was present, it was with earlier Uzbeks. Kurdak Tatars have a Kipchak layer in their ethnogenesis, as is withnesed with the ethnonym Qaraqipchaq.
Sargat-Utuz Tatars are descended of the Khitans, an originally Mongolic group that later became Turkicized. They are also the descendants of the “Otuz Tatars” of the Orkhon Inscriptions. Immigrant Volga-Ural Tatars settled among the Kurdak-Sargat Tatars in the later periods, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[5]
