Jassic (Hungarian: jász) is thought to be a dialect of the Ossetian language and the name of a nomadic tribe settled in Hungary in the 13th century. The Jassic people came to Hungary together with the Cumanians chased by the Mongol-Tatars. They were admitted by the Hungarian king Béla IV hoping that they would assist in fighting against a Mongol-Tatar invasion.
