Dolgans (Russian: Долганы; Dolgan: Долган, Дулҕан Dulğan, Һака (Sakha); Yakut: тыа-киһи) are a Tungusic ethnic group who recently adopted a Turkic language and 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.
Dolgans speak the Dolgan language.[3][2]
