Notes
- Forms labeled Crimean Tatar with no other qualification represent the standard, literary variety. Three so-called dialects exist: Steppe or Northern, Orta, and Coastal or Southern. These dialects exhibit different degrees of Oghuz or Kipchak influence, making it difficult to classify Crimean Tatar as a member of either family.
- Crimean Tatar is a member of the areal Crimean Turkic conglomeration. For further details about the mixture that makes up this language, see that page.
- The official standard is based on the Orta, or Middle variety spoken in the central Crimean mountains.
