Krymchaks

The Krymchaks ( Krymchak : sg. кърымчах - qrımçax , pl. кърымчахлар - qrımçaxlar ) are a Turkic people , community of Turkic languages and adherents of Rabbinic Judaism living in Crimea . They have historically lived in close proximity to the Crimean Karaites . At first krymchak was a Russian descriptive used to differentiate them from their Ashkenazi coreligionists, as well as other Jewish communities in the former Russian Empire such as the Georgian Jews , but in the second half of the 19th century this name was adopted by the Krymchaks themselves. Before this their self-designation was "Срель балалары" ( Srel balalary ) - literally "Children of Israel". The Crimean Tatars referred to them as zuluflı çufutlar ("Jews with pe'ot ") to distinguish them from the Karaims , who were called zulufsız çufutlar ("Jews without pe'ot").
