Subject: горский народ контекста как такового нет, но я хочу знать, есть ли какой-либо "устоявшийся" термин для обозначения горского народа с Северного Кавказа (besides high-landers as opposed to low-landers). I have come across the term "tat" or "tats" but I am not sure whether it is correct (I have a hunch that this is the name for Jewish inhabitants of North Caucasus). I am aware that there are umpteen ethnic groups in North Caucasus but still may be you have the name for this group - горский народ, горцы.

tats won't do -- they are ethnic Iranians from Azerbaijan and Dagestan. I'd be very surprised should there be a single term for all those people, and purely on geographical basis at that. You'll probably have to settle on some monstrosity like 'The mountain dwellers of N. Caucasus' |
Highlanders.There can be the only one |

"mountaineers" (weevils) :)) |
| кроме highlanders, можно, имхо: Mountain People |
| Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus - горские народы Кавказа |
| mountaineers - альпинисты |
| I guess Highlanders will do for the purpose even if we can assume they are capable mountain climbers:))) |
