A '''tubeteika''' or '''tübätäy''' ({{lang-ky|Тебетей}}, {{lang-tt|Түбәтәй}}, [[Turkmen language|Turkmen]]:Tahiya, {{lang-ru| Тюбетейка}}) is a [[Central Asia]]n [[cap]], today worn in [[Tajikistan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], and [[Uzbekistan]], as well as in Muslim-populated regions of [[Russia]] (mainly [[Tatars]]). The tubeteika is worn typically by the [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] ethnic groups of the region. It bears some superficial resemblance to the [[yurt]], another Central Asian cultural icon. The cap is called in Uzbek ''duppi'' or ''kalpoq'' and is considered an [[applied art]] form and an important part of the traditional folk costume.<ref>{{cite web
