Abstract :Finland Tatar is a Tatar diaspora variety spoken today by fewer than a thousand multilingual speakers. During the past century, it developed from Mishar, a western dialect of Tatar, into a language influenced by Finnish and Kazan Tatar. This article presents both a historical and a modern language version of the same text, originally published in 1969, about sauna traditions among Tatars and Finns. Linguistic changes of different types are highlighted, including a transition from Arabic to Latin script, orthographic and phonetic variations, and vocabulary.
