Tyumen-Tura Tatars

Tyumen-Tura Tatars are a sub-group of Siberian Tatars. Their historical administrative center was the town of Chimgi-Tura.

They are divided into four local sub-groups:

  • Tyumen Tatars live in the lower reaches of the Tura and along its tributaries: Nitsa, Tobol, and partly in the basins of the Pyshma and Iset rivers.
  • Tura Tatars inhabit mainly middle and upper reaches of the Tura river and its tributaries.
  • Upper Tura Tatars.
  • Yalutor Tatars.

The Tyumen-Tura Tatars speak Tyumen, a variant of the Tobol-Irtysh dialect of the Siberian Tatar language.
