All you want to know about Cuman language

Cuman was a Turkic language spoken by the Cumans and was similar to today's Crimean Tatar language. It is documented in several medieval works, including the Codex Cumanicus.

The Cumans were a nomad people that lived in the steppes of Eastern Europe, north of Black Sea before the Golden Horde. Many Cumans were incorporated into other Turkic peoples including the Crimean Tatars, Karachays, and Kumyks. The Cuman language became extinct in early 17th century in the region of Cumania in Hungary, which was its last stronghold.
