Dörbet

Also known as Dörböd, Dorbod

The Dörbet are a Mongolic people, one of the four main groups of the Oirat confederation of western Mongolia, together with the Choros, Torghut and Khoshut. Their ruling family was related to that of the Choros. Some Dörbet migrated west in the 17th century with the Torghut and became part of the Kalmyks on the Volga, while others remained in western Mongolia, where they live today mainly in Uvs province.
