The '''Tyung''' ({{Langx|ru|Тюнг}}; {{langx|sah|Түҥ}}, ''Tüŋ'') is a river in [[Sakha Republic|Yakutia]], [[Russia]]. It is a left [[tributary]] of the [[Vilyuy]] ([[Lena (river)|Lena]]'s basin). The length of the river is {{convert|1092|km|mi}}. The area of its [[drainage basin|basin]] is {{convert|49800|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|252702|Река ТЮНГ}}</ref>
==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.<ref>Tyukyan — [[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]] in 30 vols. / Ch. ed. [[Alexander Prokhorov|A.M. Prokhorov]] - 3rd ed. - M, 1969-1978.</ref>
The Tyung freezes up in October and stays icebound until the second half of May to early June.
===Tributaries===
Its main tributaries are the {{convert|299|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Chimidikyan]] (Чимидикээн), the {{convert|243|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Dzhippa]] (Дьыыппа), the {{convert|193|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Arga-Tyung]] (Арҕаа Түҥ) and the {{convert|174|km|mi|abbr=on}} long [[Tyungkeen]] (Түҥкэн).<ref name=gvr/>
