Most of the "Others" before 1850 were Crimean Greeks AFAIK (now they are called Mariupol Greeks):

Crimea is such an interesting place. Supposedly, Crimean Gothic was still spoken there as late as 18th century. That was the last surviving Germanic language from the East Germanic branch.

Crimean Greeks (Mariupol Greeks) and also Crimean Coastal Tatars are very similar genetically to ancient Bosporan Greeks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosporan_Kingdom

Ancient DNA sample KER_1 was a Bosporan Greek, his kit number on GEDmatch - MD6611828

Crimean Steppe Tatars (who live away from the coast, in the interior of Crimea) are more Asiatic-admixed, probably Nogai.

Loss of Crimea is a collective trauma in Turkey, especially for Turks with Tatar origins(some say up to 6mio but 2-4mio is more realistic).

Most Tatars in Turkey which I saw were more Central Asian than Turks genetically, some and most Nogais are even more east eurasian than Turkmens(around 40%).

[Peterski]

Yes but most Nogais did not live in the Crimean Peninsula. They lived in lands controlled by the Crimean Khanate, but outside of the peninsula mostly:

There was also a community of Crimea-Germans

https://culture.voicecrimea.com.ua/e...-who-are-they/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea_Germans

In 1939, two years before their deportation to Central Asia, around 60,000 of the 1.1 million inhabitants of Crimea were German and "they had their own administrative raion in the Crimean Republic."

Noch etwa 3 000 Menschen deutscher Abstammung leben heute auf der Krim. Sie haben die Eingliederung der Halbinsel in die Russische Föderation begrüßt. Manch ein Vertriebener könnte sich nun auch die Rückkehr in die alte Heimat auf der Krim vorstellen

No one has posted about the unique native Judeo-Tat-speaking Crimean Jews, the Krymchaks, who apparently
were descended from an amalgam of several neighboring Jewish populations (Ashkenazi, Sefaradi, Romaniote etc).
They were mainstream Rabbinic Jews, unlike the Crimean Karaites who were not.

Yes, there are also Crimean Karaites.

I have Eurogenes K36 results for Crimean Karaites, Mariupol Greeks and Crimean Tatars (Coast & Steppe), but not for Krymchaks so far.

But I have 4 example of Krymchak 23andMe results, I can post later.
