Abstract

Karachays – the Turkic people in the North Caucasus, indigenous people of Karachay-Cherkessia, belong to kavkasionsky anthropological type of the Balkano-Caucasian subtype of Caucasoid race, speak in Karachay- Balkar language of kypchaq group of a Turkic family. The electoral registers of the Kara-chaeskiy, Malokarachaevskiy, Prikubansky and Ust-Dzhegutinsky regions of Karachay-Cherkessia serve as data for research. The general population is 192 thousand people. In these areas Karachays are the title nation. Frequency of 150 surnames in the cumulated sample exceeds 0,1%, carriers of these surnames cover 2/3 population of 4 areas. Frequencies and ranks for these 150 surnames are presented. The most widespread is the surname Uzdenov (rank 1, frequency of 2.6%). Frequency of 21 surnames exceeds 1%, the number of these carriers of 21 surnames covers 29.4% of the population.Except Uzdenovs they are: Bairamukovs (2.1%), Botashevs (1.91%), Hubievs (1.63%), Salpagarovs, Bаtchаеvs, Lаipаnоvs (1.59%), Bidzhiеvs, Sеmionоvs (1.48%), Erkеnоvs (1.44%), Chоtchаеvs (1.38%), Аibаzоvs (1.33%), Bоstаnоvs (1.24%), Gоchiyaеvs, Bаichоrоvs (1.21%), Аdzhiеvs (1.19%), Urusоvs (1.15%), Bаirаmkulоvs (1.14%), Chоmаеvs (1.09%), Lеpshоkоvs (1.05%), Кubаnоvs (1%). On frequent surnames the matrix of surnames distances for populations of the Village Council is counted, the matrix size is [5252], then the clustering is carried out. The analysis of dendrogramm showed subdivision existence in population of Karachays. Values of a random inbreeding of Wright (Fst) and parameters of Barrai for populations of «area» (Ir-a random izonimiya,  – an index of migrations,  – an indicator of a variety of surnames, N – entropy, R – redundancy of distribution of surnames), make: Fst =0.0015, Ir =0,0059,  =0.0043,  =170.15, Н=8.91, R=41.6 (Каrаchаеvskiy district), Fst =0.0035, Ir =0.0141, =0.0025,  =70.24, Н=7.291, R=51.1(Маlоkаrаchаеvskiy district), Fst =0.0015, Ir =0.0058,  =0.0076,  =173.10, Н=8.96, R=38.0 (Prikubаnskiy district), Fst =0.0016, Ir =0.0064,  =0.,0043,  =155.49, Н=9.09, R=39.9 (Ust’-Dzhеgutinskiy district). The difference of the Malokarachaevskiy area from the others is noted for the specified parameters. The obtained data are necessary in the analysis of hereditary pathology distribution in Karachay-Cherkessia.
