Ossetians are an Iranian-speaking people living in the Caucasus region. Ossetians are considered to be the closest living relatives of the Scythians, specifically through the Alanic branch of the Sarmatians who settled in the region sometime around the 4th or 5th century AD. The main population lives in North Ossetia (part of the Russian Federation) and South Ossetia.
