Dzungars
Dzungar people or Ööled (Ööld, Öölöd, Eleuths, Olot) is the collective identity of several Mongolian-speaking Oirat tribes that formed and maintained one of the last nomadic empires.
Historically they are one of the four major sub-tribes of the Oirat people.
They are named Zunghars (also Jungar, Dzungar or Zungar), which means Left hands.
The ancestral destan of the Choros resembles that of the ancient Uyghur empire, and the Choros claimed to have persisted through the Naiman federation prior to the Genghis conquest.
They first appear as a tribal name in the 17th century as one part of the Oirat confederation.
The Qing Dynasty uses the term Öölöd as euphemism for the hated word Zunghar .
