Teleuts

Teleuts (Altay: тэлэңэт, тэлэңут, romanized: Telenget, Telengut) are a Turkic Indigenous people of Siberia living in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

255 dated March 24, 2000, as well as 2002 and 2010 Russian Census, they are recognized as a separate ethnic group within Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East.

[4] Most Teleuts used to be nomadic or semi-nomadic livestock herders and horses, goats, cattle, and sheep were the most common types of animals they raised.

[5] Traditional Teleut dress was composed of linen shirts, short breeches, and single-breasted robes.

Around the 17th century, these Teleuts moved up to the north of Kemerovo Oblast and interacted with local Siberian Tatars and became Sunni Muslims.
