In the 18th century out of non-tatar minorities Greek-speaking greeks lived east of marked area ([see map](https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/klyos/41889036/90521/90521_original.png)), Turkish-speaking Greeks lived around modern Sevastopol in urban areas, Turkish-speaking armenians lived around Theodosia and Crimean Goths lived in the upper Belbek river valley

I think this in decent map but its missing quite a few crucial years between 1926 – 2014. By the of 1944 the Soviets had officially deported every single Crimean Tatar from Crimea.
FAFO. They were raiders and slavers, and a constant treat for slavic people for centuries

They are interesting genetically as they are a mix between central asians slavic and caucasian people. They aren’t that distinct from northern finnish people like saami.

Crimean royalty was the backup royalty in the case of ottoman house having no male legitimate heirs.

Turkic is not Turkish. That would be like calling the English Germans because they speak a Germanic language. Anatolian Turks migrated in some number to Crimea during the Ottoman rule.
Huns probably spoke a Turkic language of the Oghur/Bulgar branch and they didN’t really „settle“ much in Crimea as their presence was mostly ephemeral and they had a low population. Cherson/Southern Crimea was an Eastern Roman dominion and Goths also lived on the peninsula.
Pechenegs are a Turkic tribe (not really sure if they ever lived in Crimea) and Kypchaks were a confederation of Turkic people.

There used to be a Crimean Goth population too, but they were most likely extinct after Catherine the Great took over the peninsula.

To be fair, they had it coming.
The resentment that slavic people build over 300 years of being killed and hunted like cattle to be sold in Crimea as slaves, could only end up with the Tatars getting decimated and evicted.
Millions of slavs were enslaved and killed during the Crimean–Nogai slave raids. That only ended when Russia took over in 1783 and started relocating all of the Nogai behind the Urals
