{{Main|Tuvan throat singing}}
Tuvan overtone singing is practiced in the Republic of [[Tuva]] (southern Siberia, Russia).

The Tuvan way of singing overtones is based on appreciation of complex sounds with multiple layers or textures, which is how the Tuvans developed a wide range of rhythmic and melodic styles during the centuries. Most of the styles are sung with {{transliteration|tyv|korekteer}} ({{transliteration|tyv|korek}} 'chest' + {{transliteration|tyv|teer}} 'sing'), literally 'to sing with chest voice'. Styles include:
* {{transliteration|tyv|Khöömei}}
* {{transliteration|tyv|Sygyt}}
* {{transliteration|tyv|Kargyraa}} (which also uses a second sound source made by false vocal folds. This technique is called "false-folds-diplophony")

Other sub-styles include:
* {{transliteration|tyv|Borbangnadyr}},
* {{transliteration|tyv|Chylandyk}},
* {{transliteration|tyv|Dumchuktaar}},
* {{transliteration|tyv|Ezengileer}}.
* {{transliteration|tyv|Byrlang}} (a unique type of vibrato, mainly applied to khöömei and kargyraa styles)

The melodies are traditionally created by using the 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th and sometimes the 16th [[harmonic]]s, which form the major [[pentatonic scale]], so the 7th and 11th harmonics are carefully skipped.

The most peculiar melody, from Tuvan tradition, is "{{transliteration|tyv|italics=unset|Artii Sayir}}", mostly performed in kargyraa style.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}}
