Turkic ethnic group native to Russia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the family name, see Dolgan (surname).
Dolgans (Russian: Долганы; Dolgan: Долган, Дулҕан Dulğan, Һака (Sakha); Yakut: тыа-киһи) are a Turkicized Tungusic ethnic group who mostly inhabit Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. They are descended from several groups, particularly Evenks,[2] one of the Indigenous peoples of the Russian North. Dolgans are the most closely related to the Evenks. They adopted a Turkic language sometime in the early 19th century.[2] The 2010 Census counted 7,885 Dolgans. This number includes 5,517 in Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District.
