Tatars- Turkic people living in the central regions of the European part of Russia, in the Volga region, the Urals, in Siberia, in Kazakhstan, Central Asia and the Far East.
The total number of Tatars in the world is about 6 million people. The number in Russia is 5.4 million people, of which more than 2 million live in the Republic of Tatarstan. They are divided into three main ethno-territorial groups: Volga-Ural, Siberian and Astrakhan Tatars, sometimes Polish-Lithuanian Tatars are also distinguished. The composition of the Volga-Tatar nation includes the descendants of the Kazan Tatars and most of the Astrakhan Tatars and Mishars. Siberian Tatars (Baraba, Tobol-Irtysh, Tomsk) have a slightly different relationship to the Volga Tatars. They have always been far from them territorially, and also were not closely related in origin. Linguistically, there are also differences between them. The Crimean and Dobrudzha Tatars have nothing to do with the formation of the Volga Tatar nation.
Acceptance of the ethnonym Tatars ancestors of the modern Volga Tatars, it was somewhat peculiar. And until now, the Volga Tatars have other ethnonyms, some of which have already been forgotten, and some have been preserved. So, for example, the neighbors of the Volga Tatars - the Mari call them an ethnonym suas (suyas, suas), Udmurts - biger, Kazakhs - nougai, Kalmyks - an ethnonym mangot.
Believing Tatars: Sunni Muslims, part of the Kryashens. The Tatar language belongs to the Kypchak subgroup of the Turkic group of the Altai family of languages and is divided into three dialects: Western (Mishar), Kazan (Middle) dialect and Eastern (Siberian-Tatar).
The basis of the Tatar vocabulary is made up of words of common Turkic origin. As a result of contacts with the languages of different families, the Tatar language borrowed individual words from them to varying degrees. Borrowings from the Russian language cover all aspects of the life of the Tatar people, since since the time of the Bulgar state, the Tatars had close ties with the Slavs.
