Tatar Roma are a Roma minority with a Turkic language, mostly found in Bulgaria[2] and in Romania.[3] In contrast to Crimean Roma they were in contact with Nogai Tatars rather than Crimean Tatars.
Etymology
They are also known as „Romani Tatar(s)“ (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) or simply „Drummer(s)“ (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist., Script error: The function "langx" does not exist., Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.).[2][4]
History
While Crimean Roma groups spoke Crimean Tatar, Tatar Roma were most likely with Nogais in Budjak and spoke Nogai Tatar. The Krimurja group of Crimean Roma in Crimea had settled from Budjak to Crimea (it is claimed that the Krimurja came to Crimea with the Nogais) and they had Nogai influence in their Romani (also interesting that they were Muslims before coming to Crimea),[5] the ancestors of Tatar Roma do have probably connection with them. They were called in humiliated way as şingene „Gypsy“ (in Crimea çingene) or praun „Pharaoh“ (in Crimea frauni).[5] There are also towns named in 19. century as Faraonovka (in Ukrainian known as Faraonivka) „Pharaoh“ and Kair „Cairo“ (nowadays Krywa Balka, Odessa) in Budzhak, because there was the idea that Roma came from Egypt.[6]
Tatar Roma arrived with other Tatars in Dobruja, mostly after the Crimean War, under the conditions of the Paris Treaty of 1856.[7]
Subgroups
There are two known subgroups: Davulcu (drummer) and Şorapşı (hosier), also known as Çorapçı.[lower-alpha 1][2]
Language
They don’t know Romani,[2] they lost the Romani language at the end of 19. century.[5] They speak a Tatar language.[8][4][2]
Their language is commonly mistaken as Crimean Tatar.[9]
Culture
Tatar Roma are known for their open-air cooking as well as their music.[10][8]
Religion
Tatar Roma are generally Muslims.[2]
Status
They represent themselves as Tatar to avoid discrimination.[2] Some Tatars separate them from their community for being Romani[2] and consider them not particularly devout Muslims.[11][12] As well some Roma people separate Tatar Roma, because according to them there is a missing "Romanipen".[13]
Tatar Roma did also suffer from the "Bulgarisation" in 1980's.[14]
In Romania some researchers are interested in Tatar Roma.[4]
