Krymchak
Judeo-Crimean Tatar
Ocean Hill-Brownsvilleoday, there are few, if any, remaining speakers anywhere of Judeo-Crimean Tatar, also known as Krymchak, once spoken by a portion of the Crimea's Jewish population, but some Krymchak migrants came to New York beginning in 1915 and in 1920 organized The First Brotherhood of Crimean Jews of America and used a house on Saratoga Avenue in East New York as a synagogue. Other Krymchaks came in the 1930 and 40s, some via Palestine, forming a community of approximately 250 who also often spoke English, Russian, and Yiddish in addition to Krymchak.
