Krymchak Language

Krymchak is the Crimean Tatar dialect spoken by the Rabbanite Jews of the Crimea. Another name for the language is Judo-Tartar or Judo-Crimean-Tatar. Like most Jewish languages, it is written using Hebrew characters, and contains large numbers of Hebrew loanwords. In Soviet Union at the 1930s this language was written in a variant of Latin alphabet - Uniform Turkic Alphabet (as Crimean Tatar language and Karaim language), later it was written in Cyrillic. The community was decimated during the Holocaust. The majority of its speakers now resides in Israel; a few thousand remain in the Ukraine and Russia.
