Crimean language

Crimean (qəryəm tili, къырым тили), also called Crimean Tatar (qəryəmtatar tili, къырымтатар тили), is a Kipchak Turkic language spoken in Crimea and the Crimean diasporas of Uzbekistan, Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria, as well as small communities in the United States and Canada. Despite being called Crimean Tatar, 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 and thus are not mutually intelligible. It has been extensively influenced by nearby Oghuz dialects, most notably Turkish.
