The Ashk Tasna (Tamashek: ⴰⵛⴽ ⵜⴰⵙⵏⴰ, "Lost Tribe"), also known as Ashkans or Kel Udayen, are a Jewish ethnoreligious group inhabiting the Ninva desert making up the largest contingent of the Jewish diaspora in Charnea. Ashkan tradition traces the group's heritage to the Lost Tribes of Yisrael, from which their Tamashek name is derived, forming an association with the first exodus from Yisrael in the 1st millenium BCE. The Ashkans observe the Qaraite strand of Judaism which holds the written Torah as the whole of religious law and does not recognize supplementary texts such as the Talmud, setting them appart from mainstream Rabbinic Judaism practiced in Yisrael and across most of the diaspora. Ethnic categorization of Ashkan peoples in the Charnean census has been the subject of minor controversy due to significant overlap with Tenerian groups, including both the erroneous categorization of Jewish Tenerians as Ashkan people as well as the incorrect definition of non-practicing ethnically Ashkan Charneans as Tenerians. The seat of the Ashkan community is the city of Tiernyah in southwestern Charnea which doubles as the principal center of Jewish religion in Charnea. Tiernyah was settled in the second century BCE by Jewish exiles under the auspicies of the Queen of Tamazgha, who embraced refugees displaced from Yisrael by Tamazgha's Neo-Aradian rivals and desired to settle peoples endebted to Tamazgha in the unguarded southern and eastern frontiers.
