context_page_description: The Jász are an Iranic ethnic group who have lived in Hungary since the 13th century. They live mostly in a region known as Jászság, which comprises the north-western part of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county. Jász is the Hungarian name, and Jasz the English exonym for the community, also known by endonyms Iasi or Jassy. They originated as an Ossetian people from Sarmatia.
context_section_description: The cultural and political center of Jászság is the town of Jászberény.
  Jászság is sometimes, erroneously, known as "Jazygia", after a somewhat related Sarmatian people, the Iazyges, who lived in a similar area in ancient times. However, there is no direct connection between the Jász and Iazyges.
