Selam, i'm a Lipka Tatar from Poland and I wanted to ask if any Volga Tatar brother wants to engage in our community. I wanted to try and unite my Lipka Tatar people from diaspora and the homeland as we are slowly disappearing.

I'm not really trying to work to gain popularity but actually do something for my community.

People with resources about tatar religion (tengriism, islam), language and culture are needed.

Сәләм, безнең латин әлифбаларыбыз нигә ин начар төрки латин әлифбасы? Мәсәлән, кыен сүзенең дөрес латинләштерелгән хәле "kıyın", амма без "kıyen" Һ.б шикелдә язабыз, бу нигә болай?

Татарстанның азатлыгы сүзе турында ни уйлыйсыз? Яклыйсызмы? Юкмы? Һәм нигә яклыйсыз/якламыйсыз?

As a kazakh,you tatars are central asian,not eastern european.Your culture,language,religion and etc is central asian.You are considered eastern european because of the russian occupation.If you become independent,people will be confused of you being european,because you are not european.You are closer to other turkic muslims than any even eastern european ethnicity.

after the victory of the Mujahids in Syria, which was attended by fighters of Tatar origin, one of the leaders - Sayfuddin at tatari, created the Idel Ural movement, for separating tatarian lands from Russia.
now we can see an alternative Tatar opposition. If earlier, our people were represented by Kashapov and his government in exile, who had a bright pro-European marker and liberal ideas, now we are dealing with the Islamic Tatar movement.
And while Kashapov and his people are not doing anything, the Tatars in Syria are trained militarily, armed and ready to actively interfere in Russian affairs through propaganda and recruitment of members in Russia.
I think all last important for tatarian millet news was only from islamic countries and islamic persons. Cases of Afghanistan and Syria absolutely important for new geopolitical views.

What do you call yourselves, Tatars or Bulgars, and what is the correct way to say it?

Hello from Denmark, i bought this babushka 2nd hand for my daughter. It has some text on the bottom in cyrillic, google lens told me it's some form of Tatar but failed to translate. Can anyone here help to translate this?

Salam, brothers Who can explain how the name Almas was formed and from what moment children began to be called so. I know that in russian it means "Diamond" such as in tatar language, but is there any other meanings, besides this? It would be interesting to read your opinions on this matter

Hello.

1. Are there any schools/universities in Tatarstan where ALL LESSONS are taught in tatar language (physics, mathematics, sport, etc.)
2. If these schools exist - is russian language mandatory or optional?

Thank you.

Why cannot we adapt the ancient turkic runes as the official script for the Volga Tatar language instead of the latin script which is used by many languages thus making our language seems unique?

Evening guys, so I'm half Tatar (on my mother's side) yet live in the UK. I've been wanting to learn Tatar yet my family in Tatarstan (who are full blood Tatars) only speak Russian because of where they are in Kazan so does anyone have any suggestions on how I can learn because I want to properly connect with my roots after being told I'm Russian for the past 15 years

Hi fellow Tatars and their friends!

I’ve been living abroad for quite a long time now and it’s always been a challenge to explain who are the Tatars.

Usually when you say that you’re from Russia they think like you’re Russian ethnically. Which isn’t true.

Sometimes I used to say that I’m from Tatarstan and the answer “Ah, Kazakhstan! I know that place” immediately came up.

How do you educate people abroad about our nation?

Usually if I have a little bit of time I can dive deeper into the process of founding our nation through some Mongolian and Huns hordes with a pinch of every steep nation who was near by that time.

Im curious to hear your thoughts on that!

Specifically the Tatarczuks that moved from Poland to America but any kind of information you know about folk lore would be okay 👍

I have read some comments here that claim that all Tatars have white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. That is not true. There are Tatars with a wide variety of skin tones and hair colors, some don't even have Asian almond eyes.

In the Dobruja in Romania, the so-called Dobrujan Turko-Tatars mostly have black hair, brown eyes and brown skin (brone tone).

Many Turko-Tatars from the Dobruja emigrated to Turkey, especially in the 1930s.

Sälam my brothers. I have a question about our name. Why hasn't there been a movement to bring back our native name Bolghar? Why do we still use our colonizers name?

I'm just curious :)

Good morning everyone, sorry to bother. Do you happen to know any cultural center of the Tatar diaspora in Europe? It would make it easier to get to know the culture and the people without having to go to Russia. Thanks!

This part of the world due to how vast and varied it is has always peeked my interest. Like social interactions between groups - for example are there certified hood moments when you see a Chuvash or Tuvan person turn up at a social event? Maybe a slight nod of head . But also literature, I've heard a few stories relating to the Russian expansion into Siberia and it fascinated me - the mystique, resistance of natives and writings of travellers on nature. It's a treasure and I was hoping to be pointed in the right direction by the community for more. Plus why is the mantı so damn big? Is Bolgar the old capital worth a visit? When it comes to friendships are there any distinctions you see between your Tatar and Russian friends? Are there any culture shocks Russians have when interacting with the average Chad? I've heard some Tatar people have begun trying to revive the old ethnonym Bulgar - is it credible? Care to share any stories on life and culture in Tatarstan? Where could I go to get that authentic Tatar experience? What are common Tatar swear words used in traffic? Stereotypes? Thanks
