The Karaim language (Trakai dialect: karaj tili) is a Turkic language with Hebrew influences. It is spoken by only a few dozen Karaites (Qaraylar) in Lithuania, Poland, the Crimea and Galicia in Ukraine. The language is critically endangered. The Lithuanian dialect of Karaim is spoken mainly in the town of Trakai (also known as Troki) by a small community living there since the 14th century. There is a chance the language will survive in Trakai as a result of official support and because of its appeal to tourists coming to the Trakai. See more on Wikipedia. |
