Khatuq

The Khatuq or Adale[1][2] (Adyghe: Хьэтӏукъу, romanized: Hət'uqw) were a Circassian tribe. They lived on the Taman Peninsula until it was occupied by Russian troops during the Russo-Circassian War. The tribe was completely annihilated in the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War.[3]

History

During the Russo-Circassian War, after their land was occupied, the survivors among them migrated to Natukhaj. During the Circassian genocide, as the Natukhaj were exterminated, most of those survivors were killed. The small portion of them that survived fled to Turkey, where they were assimilated into Turks or other tribes.[4]

Mentions

In 1773, German explorer Johann Anton Guldenstedt reported about them.[5]

After the end of the Russo-Circassian War, in 1871, Russian historian and academician, Lieutenant General N.F. Dubrovin wrote:[6]

"...Among the Natukhaj people lived three other Adyghe tribes, who were destroyed and merged: Chebsin, Khegayk, and Khatuq or Adale, who lived on the Taman peninsula, and now scattered in different places among the Natukhaj people..."
