Urum belongs to the Kypchak branch of the Turkic language family and is spoken in the Donetsk region of southeastern Ukraine, and in the Gori area of the Shida Karti region in central Georgia. It is considered by some a variety of <a href="crimeantatar.php">Crimean Tatar</a>. </p> <p>The name of the language comes from the word <em>Rûm</em> (Rome), which was the name used in the Muslim world for the Byzantine empire, and it was also used in the Ottoman Empire for non-Muslims. </p> <p>Urum has been written with the Greek alphabet, and between 1927 and 1937 it was written with a version of the Latin alphabet known as the New Turkic Alphabet, and it was taught is some schools. After 1937 it was not used in writing. A primer in Urum published in 2008 uses the version of the Cyrillic alphabet shown below. </p> <h2>Urum alphabet (Урум алфавит)</h2> <p><img src="../images/writing/urum.gif" width="565" height="380" alt="Urum alphabet and pronunciation" /> </p> <p><a href="../charts/urum.xls">Download an alphabet chart for Urum</a> (Excel) </p> <p><a href="../charts/urumisch.doc">Download an Urum alphabet chart provided by Wolfram Siegel</a> (Word doc, in German) </p> <h2>Sample text</h2> <p>Bizım halh gäldi kavkaza vasemnadsati vektya. gäldıh, šindi onida diyamäm točnii sočiya yadä suhuma, pamoemu suhuma gäldıxh.

We came, but I couldn't say where exactly we came to Sukhumi or Sochi, probably we came to Sukhumi. In Sukhumi, then General Paskevich brought them in Tsalka. They came to Tsalka and saw that there is river and lake here. They said that it's already possible to live here, it is possible to build houses. Lake is there, river is there, let's build houses and let's live. That's how they came to Beshtasheni. </p> <p><em>Sample text provided by Jin Wei Hii</em> </p> <p>Source: <em><a
