Within the Turkic language family, several languages are categorized as small, deviant, or partly endangered.1

The West Kipchak group of the northwestern branch consists of languages that are described as small and partly endangered, including:
* Kumyk (spoken in Dagestan)1
* Karachay and Balkar (spoken in the North Caucasus)1
* Crimean Tatar1
* Karaim (preserved in Lithuania and Ukraine)1

Additionally, within the southeastern branch, Yellow Uyghur (spoken in Kansu, China) and Salar (mainly in Tsinghai, China) are identified as small and deviant languages.1

While many Turkic languages are spoken by large populations, these specific groups are noted for their limited speaker bases or precarious status within the broader linguistic classification.1
