Baraba, Paraba or Baraba Tatar is a dialect of Siberian Tatar[4] spoken by Baraba Tatars 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.[5] As such, it is classified as Severely Endangered by the Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

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.
