K¨¹ltigin Monument where first mention of Tatar people is inscribedTatars (Tatar: Tatarlar/§´§Ñ§ä§Ñ§â§Ý§Ñ§â), sometimes spelled Tartar (more about the name), is a collective name applied to the Turkic speaking people of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Most current day Tatars live in the central and southern parts of Russia (the majority in Tatarstan), Ukraine, Poland and in Bulgaria, China, Kazakhstan, ROMANIA, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. They collectively numbered more than 10 million in the late 20th century. Most Tatars are Sunni Muslims, but there are also significant Christian and Buddhist minorities.
The majority - in European Russia - are descendants of Eastern European Volga Bulgars who were conquered by the Mongol invasion of the 13th century and kept the name of their conquerors. Tatars of Siberia are survivors of the once numerous Turkic-Mongolian population of the Ural-Altaic region, mixed to some extent with the speakers of Uralic languages, as well as with Mongols.
The original Ta-ta Mongols inhabited the north-eastern Gobi in the 5th century and, after subjugation in the 9th century by the Khitans, migrated southward, there founding the Mongol empire under Genghis Khan. Under the leadership of his grandson Batu Khan they moved westwards, driving with them many stems of the Turkic Ural-Altayans towards the plains of Russia.
On the Volga they mingled with remnants of the old Bulgarian empire (Volga Bulgaria), and elsewhere with Finno-Ugric speaking peoples, as well as with remnants of the ancient Greek colonies in the Crimea and Caucasians in the Caucasus.
The name of Tatars, given to the invaders, was afterwards extended so as to include different stems of the same Turkic-Mongol branch in Russia, and even the bulk of the inhabitants of the high plateau of Asia and its northwestern slopes, described under the general name of Tartary. This name has almost disappeared from geographical literature, but the name Tatars, in the above limited sense, remains in full use.
Oszkar...I got a chance to read your post before the little "NAZI TATAR" Ass Of Goat deleted it and locked the topic. I too would like to know the location of the cave where the latinized dacians hid for centuries. Edited by: UNGURO at: 4/9/07 2:16 pm
No offense, but weren't the migrating Hungarians related to Tatars?

Re: TATARS
anittas, all depictions of famous Hungarians are always quite caucasian looking...St. Istvan, Matyas Kiraly, Arpad even Attila. how can our features have changed so quickly? like i said before i've never seen any mongoloid looking Hungarians. whereas in romania i see many tatarish, mongolish, turkish, eskimoish looking Romanians.
Re: TATARS
That's a lie, Ungaro. In fact, I've met a Hungarian here that looked very, very much like a Mongol. However, he was the only one I've met to look like that and he was a nice guy, so no complaints there.

Well, it's a bit late for you to claim them as your own.

Re: TATARS
This is trully pathetic. What has this forum come to? It is being violated each day by two idiots that should have long time ago, been banned.
Re: TATARS
Very nice for you to give us a short history of your Mongolian relatives but this topic will be shortly moved where it belongs.

Give us a link with the pictures of the members of the Hungarian Parliament.

No contemporaneous or authentic depictions of Stephen the Mongolian or Arpad exists. Atilla was not a Hungarian I bet you knew that, and that Matei Corvin idiot was unfortunately half Romanian.

Nobody ever claimed the Latinized Dacians lived in caves. But how the hell the Hungarian apes could have known that? They have no studies, it's their stupidity speaking.
