Tyumen-Tura Tatars are a sub-group of Siberian Tatars.[1] Their historical administrative center was the town of Chimgi-Tura.[2]
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.[3]
The Tyumen-Tura Tatars speak Tyumen, a variant of the Tobol-Irtysh dialect of the Siberian Tatar language.[4]
