Tsanakül, Paraba or Paraba Tatar is a dialect of Siberian Tatar spoken by Tatars of the Paraba tribe in Siberia. While middle aged individuals and the young generation speak Russian and Volga-Ural Tatar, the Baraba dialect is used only by the older generation. As such, it is classified as Severely Endangered by the Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

History

The Arabic script has been historically used to write Siberian Tatar. The Latin script was adopted in 1928 but was replaced with the Cyrillic script in 1938. While standard Volga Tatar is widely taught in local schools, Baraba Tatar is not.

Geographic distribution

Baraba Tatar is spoken mainly in the Novosibirsk Oblast, in Omsk Oblast, in Russia. Standard Volga–Ural Tatar is taught at local Tatar schools.
