Description:
The Aukadays are a Kazakh nomadic people who live in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia. They speak the Aukaday language, a Turkic language that is closely related to Kazakh. The Aukadays are believed to have migrated to their current location in the Altai Mountains sometime in the late medieval or early modern periods. They are primarily subsistence farmers, raising sheep, goats, and horses. The Aukadays are also renowned for their skill in horsemanship, and many of their men are skilled riders.
