Ohhhh, the Cumans..

You always spell things differently than I'm used to .

As for the Tatar language, that is used in Tatarstan?

The official languages of Tatarstan are the Tatar language and Russian.  I believe that Tatarstan is changing their alphabet from Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet.

Hehe Kubrat, you can write it with many ways but they would still be pronounced in the same way. Examples are Kpak, Kypchak, Qypchaq, Qpchaq, Kipchak, etc...

I believe that Tatarstan is changing their alphabet from Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet.

They used the latin characters between 1929 - 1929, when Stalin imposed Cyrillic on them.  In 2001, they switched to a modified version of Latin.

Hehe Kubrat, you can write it with many ways but they would still be pronounced in the same way. Examples are Kpak, Kypchak, Qypchaq, Qpchaq, Kipchak, etc...

Well, it still looks different.  .  It's usually because of trivialities like these, though, that many historical inaccuracies are made.

The connection seems much stronger, than it's officially admitted! It's interesting how Tatarstan is such a stable republic in an unstable region! The same as Danube Bulgaria on the Balkans!
I think that the fact itself is very interesting, if the historical facts are not!

Tatars were always Turkic-speaking tribe (or people) - both before Genghis Khan (see Orkhon inscriptions), and after Genghis Khan times, and they are Turkic speaking peoples now too. As well as Naimans, Kereits, Jalairs,  Qongirrats, Qypchaks/Polovtsy/Cumans, Qangly, etc.  -  parts of the modern Kazaks (or Kazakhs - i.e. in Russian spelling).
Westerners always called all the Steppe Turkic-speaking tribes as "Tartars" - without detailing who is who within them, same as in mediaeval times everybody called all the West Europeans as "Franks".  Even now most of the Western historians do not realize the importance of the tribes/clans (military unions) and tribal origins of the Steppe historical figures (except Rene Grousset, Igor de Rachewiltz, and few other serious historians).

The Tatars before the time of Chinggis Khaan got nothing to do with the Tatars of Eastern Europe (15th-21th c.). The Pre-13th century Tatars of Mongolia were a Mongolic people related with other Mongolic peoples such as the Khitans, Tataby, Shiwei, etc.

The Jalairs and Unggirrats were Mongol clans too.

All the above-mentioned so-called "Mongol" tribes of Genghis Khan spoke TURKIC language. Please read beginning of the book below (click on the right edge of the page):

Turkic inscriptions classified Tatars as a Turkic group which had a good relationshp with Oghuzes. In fact, they, many times, united to defend each other.

gok toruk, do you have any info or links on the pre-Cengiz Tatars? Thats a part of their history I'm deficient in.

The Tatars of Cengiz's time was a confederation that included his tribe of the Borchigin. But that means that tribe was part of what is later called Mongol.
After leaving the forest areas they, Borchigin, teamed up with pastoral nomad Tatars, who were most likely Dadan/Shao'to.

See, though they were part of Mongol horde, the name (with this spelling and using two tough 't's) is somehow not valid in a Mongol's tongue. Ask Mongols (as I've asked my Mongol friends online) and they will say it's kind of an accent.
 
I mostly buy books, rather than searching for stuff online. At least, they would be part of my archives. So, for the time being, I really can't help sorry. But, I'm about to finish my research I've been recently working on. I'll be able provide you a few links, I suppose, in 2 or 3 days.

Thanks for the resources, gt. I don't think I'll but the last book. It costs too much. I'll check the library instead.

Can you provide us the exact quote from the inscription that classified them as Turkic people except the designation of Turkic number? 
 
I'd agree with Seko that they had mixed nature.  It seems, according to another mongol forumers explanation of the word, they were a confederacy of nomadic Mongol and Turkic tribes.  If they self designated themselves with a Mongolic word, then there is no reason to say they were exclusively or mainly Turkic tribes.
 
 
Either make a history or become a history.
