Whats their current state generally?
Where do they live - how do they live?
Do they keep language-traditions ?
How they look like generally? Do they still have high amount of Turanids?
Whats their intermixing with locals? Do they have important influence on genetics and phenotypes of nearby people?
They live in a few villages in Northeastern Poland, notably Kruszyniany and Bohoniki, and neighbouring areas of Belarus and Lithuania.
They seem to be mostly polonised linguistically, although I'm not entirely sure of it, as Tatar language is recognised as minority language in Poland.
Genetically, I expected them to be assimilated with locals, as they were automatically granted nobility status and right to intermix with Poles regardless of religion, but on the photos I found in the Internet and being on a trip there, I noticed there were still Turanids there, and it was not just a few exceptions. I don't know if Poles there have admixture, as I weren't explicitly looking fir that when I was there, I wasn't interested in physical anthropology back then.
