KAZAN TATAR | All Levels
**********************************************************

This course is intended for anyone who wants to get acquainted with the language of the Kazan Tatars or continue learning the language. Kazan Tatars are the most numerous people of Russia after the Russians. The Tatar language is a Turkic Kipchak language, the writing of which is based on the Cyrillic alphabet (+some additional letters). Therefore, if you have previously studied Russian, then this will greatly facilitate the study of the Tatar language for you. In addition, in the modern Tatar language, there is a huge number of Russian borrowings, which almost did not undergo any phonetic changes. At the same time, in the Tatar language, as in other languages ​​of the Muslim Turks, there is a large number of Arabic and Persian borrowings, which, however, have undergone some changes in terms of pronunciation. If you have Arabic, Turkish (or another Turkic language), or Farsi in your background, then this will also reduce the time to learn the language.

Thanks for your interest in my language!

OLD TATAR | Grammar and Reading
**********************************************************

The Old Tatar language is an extinct language spoken and (especially) written by the ancestors of the modern Kazan Tatars before the Russian revolution of 1917. The writing of this language was based on the Arabic script. The language contained a huge number of Arabic and Persian borrowings. Old Tatar is grammatically close to modern Turkish. The difference between written and spoken language was significant. The spoken version was close to the modern Tatar language, while the written language gravitates towards the Old Ottoman language.

If you have previously studied Arabic, Persian, Turkish (or another Turkic language), then this will greatly facilitate the study of the Old Tatar language for you. However, at a minimum, you will need knowledge of Arabic / Persian letters.
