Tyung

The Tyung (Тюнг; Түҥ, Tüŋ) is a river in Yakutia, Russia. It is a left tributary of the Vilyuy (Lena's basin). The length of the river is 1092 km. The area of its basin is 49800 km2.

Course
The Tyung begins in the Central Siberian Plateau. When it descends into the Central Yakutian Lowland it begins to meander strongly and flows roughly southwards until it meets the Vilyuy. The Tyukyan, also a Vilyuy tributary, has its source in a swampy area near the Tyung basin.

The Tyung freezes up in October and stays icebound until the second half of May to early June.

Tributaries
Its main tributaries are the 299 km long Chimidikyan (Чимидикээн), the 243 km long Dzhippa (Дьыыппа), the 193 km long Arga-Tyung (Арҕаа Түҥ) and the 174 km long Tyungkeen (Түҥкэн).
