Armeno-Kipchak (Xıpçaχ tili, bizim til, Tatarça)[1] was a Turkic language belonging to Kipchak branch of the family that was spoken in Crimea during the 14–15th centuries. The language has been documented from the literary monuments of 16–17th centuries written in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (modern day Ukraine) in the Armenian script. Armeno-Kipchak resembles the language of Codex Cumanicus, which was compiled in the 13th century.[2]

The origin of Armeno-Kipchak is disputed. Speakers of the Armeno-Kipchak are sometimes considered to be linguistically assimilated Armenians (), though it has been hypothesized that it might be spoken by native Kipchaks, who converted to Armenian Christianity, rather than being ethnically Armenians. It is believed to be that Armeno-Kipchaks identified generally as Armenian.[1]
