History
The Arabic script has been historically used to write Siberian Tatar. The Latin script was adopted in 1928 but was replaced with the Cyrillic script in 1938.[citation needed] While standard Volga Tatar is widely taught in local schools, Baraba Tatar is not.[6]
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.
