The Olot people (Mongolian: Өөлд/Ööld English: Eleut) are a Oirat sub-ethnic group of the Choros origin. They were one of the strongest tribes of the Western Mongols. The main population (ten of thousands) of the Olots were killed by the Manchu Army during the fall of the Zunghar Khanate (1755-1758). Today Mongolian Olots live in Erdenebüren and Ölziit sums. There are a few Olots in Hulunbuir region and 40000? Olots in Xinjiang province of China.
