Baraba Tatar or Paraba Tatar is a dialect of Siberian Tatar[4] spoken by Baraba Tatars in Siberia. While middle aged individuals and the young generation speak Russian and Volga-Ural Tatar, the Baraba dialect is used only by the older generation.[5] As such, it is classified as Severely Endangered by the Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.
History
[edit | edit source]The Arabic script has been historically used to write Siberian Tatar. The Latin script was adopted in 1928 but was replaced with the Cyrillic script in 1938.[citation needed] While standard Volga Tatar is widely taught in local schools, Baraba Tatar is not.[6]
Geographic distribution
[edit | edit source]Baraba Tatar is spoken mainly in the Novosibirsk Oblast and in Omsk Oblast, in Russia, on the Baraba Steppe. Standard Volga–Ural Tatar is taught at local Tatar schools.
