The Dzungar people (also written as Zunghar or Junggar; from the Mongolian words züün gar, meaning 'left hand') are the many Mongol Oirat tribes who formed and maintained the Dzungar Khanate in the 17th and 18th centuries. Historically, they were one of the major tribes of the Four Oirat confederation. They were also known as the Eleuths or Ööled, from the Qing dynasty euphemism for the hated word "Dzungar",[5] and as the "Kalmyks". In 2010, 15,520 people claimed "Ööled" ancestry in Mongolia.[6] An unknown number also live in China, Russia and Kazakhstan.
