Iron people

Ossetian tribes (according to B. A. Kaloev).[1][2]

The Iron (IPA) /ɪ.ɹɔːn/ ) are a subgroup of the Ossetians. They speak the Iron dialect, one of the two main dialects of the Ossetian language. The majority of Irons belong to the Eastern Orthodox Church, with a Muslim minority. Their endonym is etymologically related to the other Iranian designations like Irani and Alani, and English Aryan (from Sanskrit ārya, 'noble').
