Summary/Abstract: The relevance of the study is determined by the significant increase of the role and place of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of the People's Republic of China in the domestic and international political processes in Central Asia in the last decade and a half. The study of tribal groups at the present stage is one of the most important and at the same time complex problems of ethnography which helps to reveal and describe not only the kinship system but also shed light on many questions related to the social structure and ethnic history of any people.
