Gábor Bálint de Szentkatolna (1844-1913) was one of the leading Hungarian linguists living in the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XXth century. G. Bálint's "Kazáni-Tatár nyelvtanulmányok" ("Studies of Kazan Tatar Language") was published in Budapest in 1875 and was one of the earliest studies to introduce features of Tatar language in Europe. In this thesis study, Tatar texts compiled by Gábor Bálint are used as the basic language material in order to reveal the characteristics of Tatar-Kreshin language of the XIXth century. Our study consists of four main parts: Introduction, Review, Text, and Conclusion. In the Introduction part, we focused on history of Tatar studies in Russia and the world, as well as on dialect system of Tatar, giving information about Kreshin Tatars, we also focused on Gábor Bálint himself, trying to draw a panorama of his works and academic aspirations. The Review section is based on the phonetics, morphology, vocabulary properties of the text. The Text section consists of the transcripts of the texts compiled, Turkish translation and the dictionary. In the Conclusion section, we focus on the results obtained from our thesis study.
