Baraba dialect

While middle aged individuals and the young generation speak Russian and Volga-Ural Tatar, the Baraba dialect is used only by the older generation.

[5] As such, it is classified as Severely Endangered by the Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

The Arabic script has been historically used to write Siberian Tatar.

[citation needed] While standard Volga Tatar is widely taught in local schools, Baraba Tatar is not.

[6] Baraba Tatar is spoken mainly in the Novosibirsk Oblast, in Omsk Oblast, in Russia.
