Dobrujan Tatar
Tatar language spoken in Romania (Tatarşa, Tatar tĭlĭ; Romanian: limba tătară) is a variant of the Crimean Tatar language,[1][2][3] spoken by the Tatars of Romania.
Subdialects
Tatar language in Romania has three subdialects:[1][4]
1. Dobruja Tatar, the Kırım or Bozkır dialect (Şöl tĭlĭ) spoken by about 70% of Romanian Tatars. Dobrudja Tatar is spoken mainly in the south and center of Constanța and has been heavily influenced by Oghuz.
2. Dobruja Nogai, the Nogay dialect (Noğay tĭlĭ) spoken by about 20% of Romanian Tatars. Dobruja Nogai is spoken in Tulcea, near and far north of Constanța, and is the most conservative in preserving Kipchak elements.
3. Dobruja Tat, the Yalıbolu dialect (Yalıbolu tĭlĭ) spoken by about 10% of Romanian Tatars. Dobruja Tat is spoken around the cities of Hacıoğlu Pazarcık (Dobrich) and is the closest to Oghuz languages.
They differ mainly in pronunciation, and to some extent in vocabulary.[1]
Alphabet
In 1956 is a Latin alphabet developed by the Institute of Linguistics of the Romanian Academy for Tatar language in Romania, with the letters Á á, Č č/Ç ç, Ğ ğ/C c, Î î/I ı, Í í/Ĭ ĭ, Ñ ñ, Ó ó/Ö ö, Ș ș, Ț ț/Ts ts, Ú ú/Ü ü.[1] The sounds for the letters î, ș and ț are from the Romanian alphabet. The sounds for the letters č, ğ, j, ñ, w and y are from a variety of languages.[1] A new orthography was developed in 2010, which is now used by Tatars of Romania.[1][5]
| A a | B b | C c | Ç ç | D d | E e | F f | G g | Ğ ğ |

Other alphabets was used by Taner Murat.[6][7] The Latin alphabet that he did use was different, with the letters Á, Ç, Ğ, Ñ, Î, Í, Ó, Ş, Ú and the Cyrillic script including the letters Ә, Җ, І, Ң, Ө, Ү, Ў. Also the Old Turkic script and the Perso-Arabic script, with the letter ڭ.
Status
In Romania is it commonly called as "Tatar language" and also taught in some Romanian schools.[1][8] Every 5. May is the official Tatar language Day in Romania.[9]
Nilghuin Ismail describes the situation:
„Nowadays the Romanian Tatar language is preserved only as spoken language. Even so in accordance with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, in the Recommendation 1201 (1993), on an additional protocol on the rights of national minorities, is stipulated: Every person belonging to a national minority shall have theright to freely use his/her mother tongue in private and in public, both orally and inwriting. This right shall also apply to the use of his/her language in publications andin the audiovisual sector. Despite all these recommendations, in Romania we still do not have literary Tatar language.“[1]
