Tatars ((ルーマニア語、モルドバ語():Tătari)), a Turkic-speaking ethnic group, were present on the territory of today's Romania since the 13th century. According to the 2011 census, 20,464 people declared their nationality as Tatar, most of them being Crimean Tatars living in Constanţa County. They are the main factor of Islam in Romania. ==Early history== The Tatars first reached the mouths of the Danube in the mid-13th century at the height of the power of the Golden Horde. In 1241, under the leadership of Kadan, the Tatars crossed the Danube, conquering and devastating the region. The region was probably not under the direct rule of the Horde, but rather, a vassal of the Bakhchisaray Khan.〔Stănciugel et al., p.44-46〕 It is known from Arab sources that at the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century that descendants of the Nogai Horde settled in Isaccea. Another Arab scholar, Ibn Battuta, who passed through the region in 1330-1331, talks about ''Baba Saltuk'' (Babadag) as the southernmost town of the Tatars.〔 The Golden Horde began to lose its influence after the wars of 1352-1359 and at the time, a Tatar warlord, ''Demetrius'' is noted defending the cities of the Mouths of the Danube. Toward the end of the 16th century, about 30,000 Nogai Tatars from the Budjak were brought to Dobruja.〔Stănciugel et al., p.147〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tatars of Romania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
