  1. Yes, of course, Tatars belong to the Turkic ethnic group...

    We are from the same "family", my friend.

  2. Hi Sarah, welcome on board. yes you are Turkish and this is very nice.  

  3. well yes u can call urself a turk because you share the same ancestory,ilhan mansiz is a crimean tatar and he is completly turkish.

    however it depends on ur personal background,as you could have slavic,greek,romanian or a number of other nationalities as ur ancestors.

    ask your parents and grandparents where thier roots are from and get back to us.

  4. Sarah You are Turkish :))

    You are one of US!!

  5. hi,

    The Crimean Tatars(Kırım Tatarları) are Turkic people who have inhabited the Crimean peninsula for more than seven centuries.

    The Crimean Tatar language has branched into the following dialects: the Northern or Steppe dialect, Central dialect and Southern or Coastal dialect. The Steppe dialect originates from the Kipchak-Nogay(Kıpçak-Nogay), the Central from the Kipchak-Polovtsy(Kıpçak-Kuman) and the Southern from the Oğuz type of Turkic. The differences between dialects are apparent on all linguistic levels. The Northern dialect has been strongly influenced by the Nogay language, the Southern by Turkish.

    The oldest Crimean Tatar texts date from the 13th century. The reform of the literary language began in the 19th century. Until 1927 the literary tradition was based on the Southern dialect, then the transition to the Central dialect took place. Until the end of the 1920s the Tatars used the Arabic script, then until 1938, the Latin alphabet, and finally the Russian(Krill).

    hope , helps you
