'''Chalap''' or '''shalap''' or '''chalob''' ({{lang-ky|чалап}} {{IPA-ky|ʧɑlɑp|}}, {{lang-uz|chalob}} {{IPA-ky|ʧɑlob|}}, {{lang-kk|шалап}} {{IPA-kk|ʃɑlɑp}}), also marketed as '''Tan''' ({{lang-ky|Тан}}, {{IPA-ky|tɑn|}}) by Enesay ({{lang-ky|Энесай}}), is a beverage common to [[Kyrgyzstan]] and [[Kazakhstan]].  It consists of [[qatiq]] or [[suzma]], [[salt]], and in modern times, [[carbonated water]].  The [[Shoro (company)|Shoro]] beverage company markets chalap as "Chalap Shoro" ({{lang-ky|Чалап Шоро}}).

In [[Uzbekistan]] it is part of rural culture which originates from nomadic traditions. In Uzbek cuisine it includes vegetables, so it looks like a cold soup.
