Nobody knows, but it is presumed that they assimilated into Babylonian culture.

Answer:When they were carried into captivity (traditional date: 555 BCE), the Ten Tribes were brought at first to Assyria, but later spread further afield. Fanciful notions which were put forth centuries ago (such as identifying the Ten Tribes with the Native Americans, Irish or Japanese) may be ignored. Less unreasonable are reports linking the Ten Tribes with groups in Afghanistan or the Arabian peninsula (for example). But these remain moot until the Future Redemption and are not dwelt upon in Judaism today.

It should be noted that we Jews, descendants of Judah, do possess among us small percentages of every one of the other eleven Tribes, since there was a slight amount of intermingling before the two Kingdoms separated. See for example the Talmud, Pesachim 4a.
