Baraba or Baraba Tatar, is spoken by at least 8,000 Baraba Tatars in Siberia. It is a dialect of Siberian Tatar language.[2] While middle aged individuals and the young generation speak Russian and Volga-Ural Tatar languages, Baraba dialect is used by the older generation.[3]

History[]

The Arabic script has been historically used to write the language. The latin script was adopted in 1928 but was replaced with the Cyrillic script in 1938. While standard Volga Tatar is widely taught in local schools, Baraba Tatar is not.[4]

Geographic distribution[]

Baraba Tatar is spoken mainly in the Novosibirsk Oblast in Russia. Standard Volga–Ural Tatar is taught at local Tatar schools.
