Tatar language (ор تاتار تيلی, Татар тілі, pronounced as [ta’tɑ:r tɪ’lɪ]) is a Turkic language spoken by Volga Tatars located at modern Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and Nizhny Novgorod. It should not be confused with the Crimean Tatar language, to which it is remotely related but is mutually unintelligible. The official script of Tatar language is based on the Cyrillic script with some additional letters, although between 1999 and 2002 in the country was established an official Tatar Latin alphabet. Unofficially, other scripts are used today as well, mostly Latin and Arabic. Writing system: Cyrillic, Latin, Arabic Official in: Tatarstan
