The Crimean Tatar people are not able to preserve mother tongue without assistance. QHA was reported by the Crimean political scientist Andrii Nikiforov.

According to him, the Crimean Tatar language perforce will able really to disappear as the Karaite language in due time.

'The fact of the matter is that field of application of the Crimean Tatar language is quite limited and comes to everyday questions and it does not go beyond the scopes. Moreover, many Crimean Tatars refuse that their children study the mother tongue at schools' - political scientist noted.
