Terloy

The Terloy (also Terlo, Teroy) (Chechen: ТIерлой, ТIерой) is a Chechen teip. The exact population of the teip is not known, however it is estimated to be around 30,000 people. Terloy speak in the Itum-Kali dialect of the Chechen language.

Chechen writer and poet Magomet Mamakaev defined the Terloy as a tukkhum in his works, however literature, material and legends by the Terloy themselves are proof that they are in fact a larger teip, with all the typical characteristics of a Chechen teip.
