The **Nogais** ([/noʊˈɡaɪ/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*noh-GY*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key))[a] are a [Turkic people](/source/Turkic_peoples) who speak [Nogai](/source/Nogai_language), a language from the [Kipchak branch](/source/Kipchak_languages) of the [Turkic languages](/source/Turkic_languages).[10][11] They live in [Eastern Europe](/source/Eastern_Europe), the [North Caucasus](/source/North_Caucasus), the [Volga region](/source/Volga_region), [Central Asia](/source/Central_Asia), and [Turkey](/source/Turkey). Most are found in northern [Dagestan](/source/Dagestan) and [Stavropol Krai](/source/Stavropol_Krai), as well as in [Karachay-Cherkessia](/source/Karachay-Cherkessia), [Chechnya](/source/Chechnya), and [Astrakhan Oblast](/source/Astrakhan_Oblast); some also live in [Dobruja](/source/Dobruja) ([Romania](/source/Romania) and [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria)), [Turkey](/source/Turkey), [Kazakhstan](/source/Kazakhstan), [Uzbekistan](/source/Uzbekistan), [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine), and a small Nogai diaspora is found in [Syria](/source/Syria) and [Jordan](/source/Jordan). They speak the [Nogai language](/source/Nogai_language) and are descendants of various [Mongolic](/source/Mongols) and [Turkic](/source/Turkic_peoples) tribes who formed the [Nogai Horde](/source/Nogai_Horde).[10][12] There are nine main groups of Nogais: the [Ak Nogai](/source/Ak_Nogai), the [Karagash](/source/Karagash), the Koban-Nogai, the Kundraw-Nogai, the Achikulak-Nogai, the Qara-Nogai, the Utars, the Bug-Nogai, and the Yurt-Nogai.

## Name

Their name comes from their eponymous founder, [Nogai Khan](/source/Nogai_Khan) (lit. 'dog' in [Mongolian](/source/Mongolian_language)), a grandson of [Jochi](/source/Jochi). Nogai (d. 1299–1300) was de facto ruler, kingmaker, and briefly self-proclaimed khan of the [Golden Horde](/source/Golden_Horde).[13][10] The name is also spelled as *Nogay* or *Noghay*, and they are also known as the *Nogalar* or *Mangkyt*.[10]

## Geographic distribution

In the 1990s, 65,000 were still living in the Northern Caucasus, divided into Aq (White) Nogai and Qara (Black) Nogai tribal confederations. Nogais live in the territories of [Dagestan](/source/Dagestan), [Chechnya](/source/Chechnya), [Stavropol Krai](/source/Stavropol_Krai), and [Astrakhan Oblast](/source/Astrakhan_Oblast). From 1928 there was a [Nogaysky District, Republic of Dagestan](/source/Nogaysky_District%2C_Dagestan) and from 2007 a [Nogaysky District, Karachay-Cherkess Republic](/source/Nogaysky_District%2C_Karachay-Cherkess_Republic).

A few thousand Nogais live in [Dobruja](/source/Dobruja) (today in [Romania](/source/Romania)), in the town of [Mihail Kogălniceanu](/source/Mihail_Kog%C4%83lniceanu%2C_Constan%C5%A3a) (Karamurat) and villages of [Lumina](/source/Lumina%2C_Constan%C5%A3a) (Kocali), [Valea Dacilor](/source/Medgidia) (Hendekkarakuyusu), and [Cobadin](/source/Cobadin) (Kubadin).

A few thousand Bug-Nogais live in [Budjak](/source/Budjak) (today in [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine)), and they are concentrated mainly in southwest Budjak. They live in the villages of Kotlovyna, Kosa, Krynychne, Karakurt, Oksamytne, Ozerne, Topolyne, Tabaky, Zaliznychne, and Vladychen. They also inhabit the towns of [Bolhrad](/source/Bolhrad) and Kubei. They also inhabit the cities of [Izmail](/source/Izmail) and [Tatarbunary](/source/Tatarbunary).

Nogai minorities also live in Bulgaria, mainly in Northeast and Southeast planning regions. A minority also lives in [Haskovo province](/source/Haskovo_Province).

The number of Nogais living in Turkey today is disputed. Estimates claim there are 90,000–100,000 Nogais (Nogai Turks) in the country. They mainly settled in [Ceyhan/Adana](/source/Adana_Province), [Ankara](/source/Ankara_Province), and [Eskisehir](/source/Eskisehir_Province) provinces. The Nogai language is still spoken in some of the villages of Central Anatolia – mainly around Salt Lake, Eskişehir, and [Ceyhan](/source/Ceyhan). To this day, Nogais in Turkey have maintained their cuisine: *üken börek*, *kaşık börek*, *tabak börek*, *şır börek*, *köbete* and *Nogay şay* (Nogai tea – a drink prepared by boiling milk and tea together with butter, salt and pepper).

The *[Junior Juz](/source/Junior_Juz)* or the *Lesser Horde* of the [Kazakhs](/source/Kazakhs) occupied the lands of the former Nogai Khanate in Western [Kazakhstan](/source/Kazakhstan). A part of the Nogais joined the Kazakhs in the 17th and 18th centuries and formed a separate clan or tribe called as Kazakh-Nogais. Their estimated number is about 50,000.

### Subgroups

From the 16th century until their deportation in the mid-19th century, the Nogais living along the [Black Sea](/source/Black_Sea) northern coast were divided into the following sub-groups (west to east):

- Bucak ([Budjak](/source/Budjak)) Nogais inhabited the area from [Danube](/source/Danube) to [Dniester](/source/Dniester).

- Cedsan ([Yedisan](/source/Yedisan)) Nogais inhabited the land from Dniester to [Southern Bug](/source/Southern_Bug).

- Camboyluk (Jamboyluk) Nogais inhabited in the lands from Bug to the beginning of [Crimean Peninsula](/source/Crimean_Peninsula).

- Cedişkul (Jedishkul) Nogais inhabited the north of Crimean peninsula.

- Koban ([Kuban](/source/Kuban)) Nogais inhabited the north of Sea of Azov around [Prymorsk](/source/Prymorsk) (previously Nogaisk).

## Nogai tribes

The following is a list of the Nogai tribes, namely, As, Aksyuryut, Alchin, Ashamayly, Altayak, Badai, Bayis, Baygondy, Bayuly, Batar, [Bayaut](/source/Bayaut), Bodrak, Borlak, Bulachi, Burkut, Butas, Jalair, Juyut, Duvan, Durmen, Kazak, Kangly, Kara-Kitay, Kat, Katagan, Kelechi, Keneges, Kenegay, Keneterk, Kereit, Kigit, [Kipchak](/source/Desht-i-Kipchak), Kirgiz, Kirgin, Kirk, Kitay, Kishlik, Kiyat, Kula-Ayan, Kungrat, Madzhar, [Mangyt](/source/Manghud), Mashkir, [Merkit](/source/Merkits), Mesit, Ming, [Naiman](/source/Naimans), Nukus, Keliaul, Ongut, Saray, Sidzhyut, Solut, Tama, Temir-Khodzha, Togay, Togunchi, Toytyube, Turksen, Turchak, Uzbek, Uymaut, Uysun, Chaljiyut, Chat, Chubalachi, Chumishly, Shakmanchi, Shemerden, Yuz, Kulachi, Teleu, Uygur, and Chimbay.[14][15]

## Genetics

It can be considered that the gene pool of the Nogais has absorbed so many Eurasian genetic flows that it can successfully serve as one of the standards of the "genetic pole of the Eurasian steppe".

— Balanovsky, Oleg Pavlovich[16]

The ethnic history of the Nogai people is primarily based on the naming of a branched clan stratification, where the [ethnonymy](/source/Ethnonymy) of specific clans and [clan groups](/source/Fratria), combined with the customary identification of clan-family signs ([tamga](/source/Tamga)), clearly traces the ethno-genetic and historical-cultural continuity with the ethnonyms of major actors from early and later periods across the North Eurasian space. The interethnic integration of these groups formed the totality and overall unity of the Nogai ethnic community. The ethnic foundation of the people was formed by ancient groups such as the [Naimans](/source/Naimans),[17] [Siraki](/source/Siraki), Uysun, [Kangly](/source/Kangly), [Kipchaks](/source/Polovtsians), [Asi](/source/Alans), [Mangyt](/source/Mangyt), [Bulgars](/source/Bulgars), Bayysy, Bodraki, Kobany, Baydary, Mazhar and others, who inhabited the Irtysh region, Northwestern Mongolia, Central Asia, Southern Ural, Lower Volga, Northern Caucasus, Crimea, Northern Black Sea region, Don region, Azov region, and Lower Dnieper region.[18][19] Many of these groups had their own states.

In the genetic history of the Nogai population of Kuban, there were two episodes of admixture with populations from Southern Siberia and Mongolia: in the 8th and 17th centuries.[20]

According to an ethnogenetic study conducted by Kazakh researchers Zh. M. Sabitov and A. K. Abdullin among the Nogais of the Republic of Dagestan, a representative of the Bayat (or Tore) clan from Anevska village, Tarumovsky District, who claimed descent from the murza of the Yedishkul Horde and whose genealogy was thus associated by the authors with the founding lineage of the Nogai ruling dynasty Edige, was found to belong to the [C2](/source/Haplogroup_C_(Y-DNA)) supercluster. The authors associate this haplogroup with Nirun Mongols tribes, to which the [Manghit](/source/Manghud) clan belonged.[21]

## History

Main article: [Nogai Horde](/source/Nogai_Horde)

The name *Nogai* derives from [Nogai Khan](/source/Nogai_Khan) (died 1299/1300, great-great-grandson of [Genghis Khan](/source/Genghis_Khan)), a general of the [Golden Horde](/source/Golden_Horde).[22][23] The Nogai homeland is known as *Nogaistan* and lies on the [Nogai Steppe](/source/Nogai_Steppe).[10] The Nogai originated as nomadic tribes in Central Asia, and following their conquest by the Golden Horde in the 13th century, they migrated west.[10] A Mongol tribe called the Manghits ([Manghut](/source/Manghut)) constituted a core of the [Nogai Horde](/source/Nogai_Horde). The Nogai Horde supported the [Astrakhan Khanate](/source/Astrakhan_Khanate), and after the conquest of [Astrakhan](/source/Astrakhan) in 1556 by the [Russians](/source/Tsardom_of_Russia), they transferred their allegiance to the [Crimean Khanate](/source/Crimean_Khanate). The Nogais protected the northern borders of the Crimean Khanate, and through organized raids to the [Wild Fields](/source/Wild_Fields) inhibited Slavic settlement. Many Nogais migrated to the Crimean peninsula to serve as the Crimean khans' cavalry. Settling there, they contributed to the formation of the [Crimean Tatars](/source/Crimean_Tatars).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] They raised various herds and migrated seasonally in search of better pastures for their animals. Nogais were proud of their nomadic traditions and independence, which they considered superior to settled agricultural life.

The recorded history of the Nogais first commenced when[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*] representatives of the [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire) reached the [Terek–Kuma Lowland](/source/Terek%E2%80%93Kuma_Lowland), where the Nogais were living as rogue clans and herders. There were two main chiefs: Yusuf [Mirza](/source/Mirza_(noble)) and Ismail Mirza, [Bey](/source/Bey) of the Nogai Horde from 1555 to 1563. Yusuf Mirza supported joining the Ottomans. However, his brother Ismail Mirza, who was allied with the Russians, ambushed Yusuf and declared his chiefdom under Russian rule. After that, the supporters of Yusuf Mirza migrated to Crimea and [Yedisan](/source/Yedisan), joining the Crimean Khanate. Supporters of Yusuf took the name *Qara*, later named by Crimeans as *Kichi* ([Lesser Nogai Horde](/source/Lesser_Nogai_Horde) founded in 1557 by Mirza Kazy). Those who remained in present-day West Kazakhstan and the North Caucasus (Greater Nogai Horde) took the name *Uly* (Strong).

At the beginning of the 17th century, the ancestors of the [Kalmyks](/source/Kalmyks), the [Oirats](/source/Oirats), migrated from the steppes of southern [Siberia](/source/Siberia) on the banks of the [Irtysh River](/source/Irtysh_River) to the Lower Volga region. Various theories attempt to explain this move, but the generally accepted view is that the Kalmyks sought abundant pastures for their herds.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] They reached the Volga about 1630. That land, however, was not uncontested pasture, but rather the homeland of the Nogai Horde. The Kalmyks expelled the Nogais, who fled to the Northern Caucasian Plains and to the Crimean Khanate, areas under the control of the [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire). Some Nogai groups sought the protection of the Russian garrison at [Astrakhan](/source/Astrakhan). The remaining nomadic Turkic tribes became vassals of the Kalmyk khan.

[Vassal and tributary states](/source/Vassal_and_tributary_states_of_the_Ottoman_Empire) of the Ottoman Empire, including the [Lesser Nogai Horde](/source/Lesser_Nogai_Horde), [Ochakov Horde](/source/Yedisan), and [Budjak Horde](/source/Budjak_Horde)

After the [Russian annexation of Crimea](/source/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Empire) in 1783, Slavic and other settlers occupied the Nogai pastoral land, since the Nogais did not have permanent[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] residence. In the 1770s and 1780s the Russian Empress [Catherine the Great](/source/Catherine_the_Great) resettled approximately 120,000 Nogais from [Bessarabia](/source/Bessarabia) and areas northeast of the [Sea of Azov](/source/Sea_of_Azov) to the Kuban and the Caucasus.[24] In 1790, during the [Russo-Turkish war](/source/Russo-Turkish_War_(1787%E2%80%931792)), Prince [Grigory Potemkin](/source/Grigory_Potemkin) ordered the resettlement of some Nogai families from the Caucasus (where, he feared, they might defect to the Ottomans) to the north shore of the Sea of Azov.[25] With the 1792 [Treaty of Jassy](/source/Treaty_of_Jassy) (Iaşi) the Russian frontier expanded to the [Dniester](/source/Dniester) River and the Russian takeover of Yedisan was complete. The 1812 [Treaty of Bucharest](/source/Treaty_of_Bucharest%2C_1812) transferred [Budjak](/source/Budjak) to Russian control.

After confiscating the land previously belonged to the Nogais, the Russian government forced Nogais to settle through various methods, such as burning their tents and limiting their freedom of movement. The Russian general [Alexander Suvorov](/source/Alexander_Suvorov) slaughtered thousands of rebellious Kuban Nogais in 1783. Several Nogai tribes took [refuge](/source/Refugee) among the [Circassians](/source/Circassians) in this period. Several other Nogai clans began to migrate to the Ottoman Empire in great numbers. The Nogais followed two routes. An estimated 7,000 Nogais of the Bucak and Cedsan Hordes settled in [Dobruja](/source/Dobruja) before 1860. Most of these Nogais later migrated to [Anatolia](/source/Anatolia). However, the great exodus of the Nogais took place in 1860. Many clans from the Camboyluk and Kuban Hordes moved westwards to southern Ukraine, and wintered with the local ethnics there in 1859. They emigrated either through the ports of [Feodosia](/source/Feodosia) or [Kerch](/source/Kerch), or by crossing via the Budjak steppes to Dobruja. 50,000 of the roughly 70,000 Nogais of the Kuban and adjacent [Stavropol](/source/Stavropol) region left Russia for the Ottoman Empire during this period. They induced the Nogais of Crimea (who lived in the districts of [Yevpatoria](/source/Yevpatoria), [Perekop](/source/Perekop) and in the north of [Simferopol](/source/Simferopol)) to emigrate too. Similarly, 50,000 Nogais disappeared from northern Black Sea region by 1861. [Other](/source/Muhajir_(Caucasus)) Nogai clans emigrated directly from the Caucasus to Anatolia, together with the [Circassians](/source/Circassian_diaspora). Nogais lived alongside German-speaking [Mennonites](/source/Mennonite) in the [Molochna](/source/Molotschna) region of southern Ukraine from 1803, when the Mennonites first arrived there, until 1860, when the Nogais were deported.[26]
