Tara Tatars

Tara Tatars are a sub-group of Siberian Tatars.^[1] They are settled in Bolsherechensky, Muromtsevsky, Tarsky, and Kolosovsky districts of Omsk oblast.

They are divided into two local sub-groups:

• Ayaly Tatars
• Turaly Tatars.^[2]

They speak Tara, a variant of the Tobol-Irtysh dialect of the Siberian Tatar language.^[3]

According to N. F. Katanov, who studied the legends of Siberian Tatars, noted that the army of Kuchum Khan was divided into four wings: Kordak, Turaly, Ayaly, and Baraba.
