The only comment is that it is spoken by the Tatars of the southen coast of Crimean peninsule. On another Internet source http://turquieaimee.free.fr/langue.htm it is referred to as an idiom of turkish and its French name appears as "Tatar du Crimée", and that's what I suggest for Iso 639 Other comments: * * * * * * * Background and additional information: This is based on a proposal submitted on 2002-10-11 and circulated to the JAC for comments on 2002-10-30. Feedback has been received from Michael Everson only. The proposed French name has not been verified. See my comments above I have no proposal for an indigenous name. Any information will be useful!
