Tat language (Caucasus)
The Tat language or Tat/Tati Persian or Tati is a Southwestern Iranian language and a variety of Persian spoken by the Tats in Azerbaijan and Russia. According to the Ethnologue, it is spoken by 18,000 people in Azerbaijan, 8,000 in Iran, and 2,300 in Russia. Its written form is related to Middle Persian Pahlavi. There is also a Jewish language called Judeo-Tat that is related to the Tat language.
Vladimir Minorsky mentions in the first edition of Encyclopaedia of Islam that like most Persian dialects, Tati is not very regular in its characteristics, and occupies a position between modern Persian and the Caspian dialects. According to him, The Great Russian Encyclopedia of 1901 gives the number of Tati speakers in 1901 as 135,000. In the 1930s, Minorsky estimated the number of Tati speakers to be 90,000 and the decrease to be the result of gradual Turkicization.
Tat is endangered, classified as "severely endangered" by UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.
