Caucasian Tatar is an old term used to describe the Turkic population of Azerbaijan (South Caucasian Tatars) & Kumyks of Dagestan (North Caucasian Tatars or Dagestan Tatars). [3] In 1848, a professor of the "Caucasian Tatar" (Kumyk) Timofey Makarov published the first ever grammatical book in Russian language for one of the Northern Caucasian languages - which was international Kumyk.
