TheEushta Tatars (Siberian Tatar:яушталар,[1]Russian:Эуштинцы) are one of the three subgroups ofTom Tatar group ofSiberian Tatars. Eushta mainly inhabit the lower reaches of theTom river inTomsk Oblast. Their historical and cultural centre is theEushta village. Eushta are especially closely related toChat Tatars. Their historical center was the township ofToian.[2]
Eushta Tatars consist of three sub-groups: Eushta, Basandai, Evaga.[3]
Eushta are considered to be originallySamoyedicSelkup inhabitants of westernSiberia, who were greatly influenced byTurkic peoples and lately Turkicised.[4] In the beginning there were migrations fromAltai.Yenisei Kyrgyz andTyolyos tribes formed a role in their ethnogenesis. In 9th and 10th centuriesKimeks arrived in the region, from which theKipchaks derived, who also had impact on Eushta Tatars.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Eushta were under the rule of theSibir Khanate.[5] WhenRussians first came into contact with the Eushta, they numbered around 800 people.
Eushta Tatars adopted Islam at the middle of 19th century.
According to Valikhova L.V.et al. (2022), the three main Y-DNA haplogroups that have been observed among a sample of Tatars from the village of Eushta are R1b1a1a1b-Y20768(xY20784) (35.3%), Q1b1b-YP4004 (17.6%), and R1a1a1b2-CTS9754 (14.7%). The authors have reported that these lineages among the Tatars of Eushta village are closely related to lineages observed among Teleut, Khakas, Shor, Chelkan, Tubalar, and Tuvan populations, all of which areTurkic-speaking populations ofSouth Central Siberia.[6]
