A Karaim language occurs as Turkic language with Hebrew influences, in the similar manner to Yiddish or Ladino. These are spoken by a few ethnic Turkic adherents of Karaite Judaism (Karaim or Qaraylar) in Lithuania and Crimea, Ukraine. It has super couple of remaining active speakers.

A Lithuanian accent of Karaim is spoken primarily in the town of Trakai (also referred to as Troki) by the little community. Trakai occurs as previous capital of Lithuania, & Karaites were brought there by Grand Duke Vytautas in 1397-1398 to defend the castle. There is a risk a language might live within Trakai following of official trend lines too when its appeal to holidaymaker. Presently within Trakai there is a museum just about a Karaite community, besides when Karaite culinary art eating house. Humans from either the community participate around occasionally favorite holidays held inside Trakai, & every now and again these are interpreted that a newly coat of arms of Trakai depicts a Karaite.
