Dörbet (Choros Clan)

The Dörbet (Mongol: Дөрвөд, lit. "the Fours") is the second largest subgroup of the Mongol people in modern Mongolia and was one major tribe of the Four Oirat confederation in 15th-18th century. In early times, the Dörbet and the Dzungars were ruled by collateral branches of the Choros. The Do'rbets are distributed among the western provinces of Mongolia, Kalmykia, and small portion in Heilongjiang, China. In Mongolia, Dörbets are centered in the Uvs province.
