Language / What are the Polish words of Mongol origin? [14]
My claim (based on sources and daily life tatars I know of, many tatars here in turkey, half of a city is full of tatars) was based on linguistic approach when I was saying Tatars were Turkics. I checked the net and Polish Tatars too speak a Turkic dialect. Important basic words such as ana=mother, numbers, etc are same or very similar. Other than language difference, I dont consider any criteria about nation/race difference. (now, since I am writing these in English, I can be considered an English also.) Traditions of Tatars vary much from region to region as they are wide-spreaded from Europe to Middle Asia. In old days, like many other Turkic tribes, Polish Tatars too did services in Polish Armies. During Viena war, there were Tatars in Ottoman army and also in Poland army. It is said that they put a sign on their helmets not to confuse as the both Tatar soldiers were loyal to their armies.
