Karaite...
"The Karaites are a Jewish sect, founded around 760 A.D. in an
attempt to restore literal, rather than the traditional Talmudic
interpretation of the Scriptures.   Known as Ananites until the 9th
century, they developed an extensive Hebrew and Arabic litera-
ture.   However, by 1200 the Karaite movement had begun to
decline, both in numbers and in scholarship.   There are still
Karaite communities in the Crimea who use a Turkic language.
Karaites were common in the Baltic area during the 19th
century, but the local languages and Yiddish were in use among
them.   Karaite is not to be confused with Karachay, a Turkic
tongue common to the Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous
Region of the Soviet Union.   A Karaite version of the Old
Testament
was in use from the early period of the movement,
but existed only in manuscript form until the 19th century."
