A process of cultural, linguistic and political change by which an individual or a group of people come to identify as Tatars.
The Tatarization process that took place in Crimea in the 16th century brought a sense of cultural unity through the blending of the Greeks, Armenians, Italians and Ottoman Turks of the southern coast, Goths of the central mountains, and Kipchaks and Cumans of the steppe and formation of the Crimean Tatar ethnic group.
