Traditional Tatar units of measurement were used by
Tatars until 1924 but became obsolete when the
Soviet Union adopted the
metric system.
The Tatar system shares many units with the
Russian system (e.g. sajın and disätinä), which is close to the English (The
Russian system existed since
ancient Rus', but under
Peter the Great, the Russian units were redefined relative to the
English system.), therefore a duym is relatively equal to an inch. This list includes their
Tatar language names.
