Revision as of 10:04, 1 February 2005 by Monedula (talk | contribs) (create from a section in Obsolete Russian weights and measures)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Obsolete Tatar weights and measures were used by Tatars until 1924, when they were replaced in the Soviet Union by the SI units.
The Tatar system shares many units with the Russian system (e.g. sajın and disätinä), which in turn was influenced by the English, therefore a duym is pretty much equal to an inch. This list includes their Tatar language names.
