Rutul people
Rutuls
,
Rutulians
(
Mykhabyr
in
Rutul
,
рутульцы
in
Russian
) are an ethnic group in
Dagestan
(
Russia
) and some parts of
Azerbaijan
. According to the
2010 Russian Census
, there were 35,240 Rutuls in Russia. In
1989 Soviet Census
in Azerbaijan (Azerbaijan SSR then) there were 336 Rutuls. The
Rutul language
is a member of the
Northeast Caucasian language family
; its speakers often have a good command of
Azeri
and
Russian
, as Rutul was not a written language until 1990. The Rutul culture is close to that of the
Tsakhur
and other peoples who inhabit the
basin
of the upper reaches of the
Samur River
. Most of the Rutuls are engaged in
cattle breeding
(mostly
sheep husbandry
),
farming
, and
gardening
.
