It came up in a GD thread that Cronxeh speaks Tatar, which is a Turkic language.
Turkic peoples originated in Central Asia, and there seem to be several groups, although at the moment I am not clear.
During the last 3000 years, there have been a lot of migrations and mixing of peoples throughout the Eurasian lands (from Western Europe to Mongloia and Manchuria).
Often migrations or invasions spawn additional migrations, and as a consequence Central Asia and Eastern and Central Europe have seen many different groups of peoples.
In the middle of all this are the Scythians ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythians ), Tatars ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatars ) and others. I am still trying to figure out the history and who went where and when.
Wiki is just a starting point
Also the Tatar language has a very interesting history:
