Baraba or Baraba Tatar is a Turkic language spoken by about 8,000 people in Russian Siberia. It is closely related to Tatar and some linguists consider Baraba to be a dialect of Tatar.

Baraba Tatar falls into a continuum of Tatar dialects spoken through Siberia. The term Baraba Tatar may be used to refer to all Siberian Tatar dialects.

Classification

Baraba Tatar is a Turkic language belonging to the Kypchak branch. Within the Kypchak branch, Baraba is subgrouped with the closely related Tatar language and the less-closely related Bashkir language in the Kypchak-Bolgar family. Some linguists consider Baraba and other Turkic languages to be members of the Altaic macro-family.

Geographic Distribution

Baraba Tatar is spoken in the Tyumen and Tomsk Oblasts in Russia. It is not an official language. Standard Kazan Tatar is used as the literary language.

Differences from Standard (Kazan) Tatar

Baraba Tatar possesses a number of features that distinguish it from Kazan Tatar:

*Change of /tIPA|ʃ/ to /ts/: "tIPA|ʃætIPA|ʃ" → "tsæts" "hair"
*Devoicing of initial stops: "baIPA|ʃ" → "paIPA|ʃ" "head"
*Devoicing of final /z/ to /s/: "sez" → "sis" "you (plural)"
*Lack of sound changes /e/ ↔ /i/ and /o/ ↔ /u/: "jort" → "jurt" "home", "kil-" → "kel-" "come"

ounds

Consonants

*Sounds in paretheses appear only in loan words.
*The sounds [IPA|ʦ] and [IPA|ʧ] appear in free variation. The replacement of [IPA|ʧ] with [IPA|ʦ] is a feature that distinguishes Baraba from Kazan Tatar. [cite book |last=Дмитриева |first=Л.
