Map of Tobol-Irtysh dialect of Siberian Tatar, 1965

The Tobol-Irtysh dialect is a Turkic dialect group spoken in Tyumen and Omsk Oblast in Russia,^[1] and gets its name from the Tobol and Irtysh rivers.

It is generally classed among the dialects of the Tatars of Siberia, of which some also speak Baraba.^[2] Johanson groups these dialects under the name of Western Siberian Tatar.^[3]

According to Tumasheva, Tobol-Irtysh Tatar has 5 dialects:^[4]

• Tyumen
• Tobol
• Zabolotny
• Tevriz
• Tara

The Tyumen dialect is spoken in Tyumen, Yalutorovsk and Veljan Raions. Speakers of the Tobol dialect live in the Tobolsk, Bagaï and Yarkovsky Districts.^[5]

The Tevriz dialect has elements of Southern Altai, Khakas and Shor.

In 2000, a primer of Tobol-Irtysh Tatar was published. Its orthography includes the letters of the Russian alphabet, plus the extra letters Ә ә, Ғ ғ, Ҡ ҡ, Ң ң, Ө ө, and Ү ү.^[6]
