Basic Information & Sample Phrases (Greetings, Numbers, Sounds) about the Crimean Tatar language, a native language of Crimea.
Crimean Tatar (qırımtatar tili, къырымтатар тили) also called Crimean, is a Kipchak Turkic language spoken in #Crimea and the Crimean Tatar diasporas of Uzbekistan, Turkey, Romania, and Bulgaria, as well as small communities in the United States and Canada. It should not be confused with Tatar proper, spoken in Tatarstan and adjacent regions in Russia; the languages are related, but belong to two different subgroups of the Kipchak languages but still largely mutually intelligible. It has been extensively influenced by nearby Oghuz dialects.
A long-term ban on the study of the Crimean Tatar language following the deportation of the Crimean Tatars by the Soviet government has led to the fact that at the moment UNESCO ranked the Crimean Tatar language among the languages under serious threat of extinction (severely endangered).
