Which are the actual differences, apart form using the Arabic script rather than the Latin one, between old and modern Tatar? Turkish seems to have changed just a little since it was first written, but what about Tatar?--Caesarion 12:22, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Turki" seems to be a more appropriate name for this literary language, as the term presently used leads to a misunderstanding and erroneous association with the modern (Volga) Tatar language. These two languages do not have much in common, except they belong to the same language family. In literature, "Turki" is used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Borovi4ok (talk • contribs) 08:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Turki" is a more general term. There were different versions of the Turki - Chagatai, Ottoman, Old Tatar, etc. All of them were formed on the basis of the Karakhanid language. Old Tatar was formed on the territory of the Golden Horde (or a little earlier than Golden Horde was esteblished, but spread already in the Horde). It would make sense to write this more clearly in the article itself, but I'm not ready.94.140.193.130 (talk) 11:00, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
