Kipchak ethnic group of northwestern Uzbekistan
The Karakalpaks, or Qaraqalpaqs ( ; Karakalpak: Qaraqalpaqlar, Қарақалпақлар, قاراقلپقلر), are a Turkic ethnic group native to Karakalpakstan in Northwestern Uzbekistan. During the 18th century, they settled in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya and in the (former) delta of Amu Darya on the southern shore of the Aral Sea. The name Karakalpak comes from two words: qara meaning 'black' and qalpaq meaning 'hat'. The Karakalpaks number about 900,000 worldwide, out of which more than 770,000 live in the Karakalpakstan region of Uzbekistan.
