WHAT DOES TATAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tatar

Tatars

The Tatars, historically Tartars, is an umbrella term for Turkic peoples in the territory of the former Russian Empire. The Tatars were the Turkic-speaking population of Tartary, the lands ruled by Turco-Mongol elites from the 14th century until the conquests of the Russian Empire in the 18th to 19th centuries. During the early modern period, a distinction was made between the European and Asian Tatar territories, by referring to Lesser Tartary and Greater Tartary, respectively. The largest group by far that has been called "Tatars" by the Russians are the Volga Tatars, native to the Volga region, who for this reason are often also simply known as "Tatars", and their language as the Tatar language. Their number is estimated as close to 6 million. Besides the Volga Tatars, there are smaller groups of Turkic-speaking Muslims also still referred to as "Tatars", the largest group of these being the Crimean Tatars, numbering close to half a million, whose Crimean Tatar language is not now intelligible with the Volga Tatar language.

Definition of Tatar in the English dictionary

Tatar is also any of the languages spoken by the present-day Tatars, belonging to various branches of the Turkic family of languages, esp Kazan Tatar.
