This article presents language samples recorded from a single informant, Ms Sultan Peisakh (1924, Simferopol; 2014, St. Petersburg). Ms Peisakh’s language competence was limited, but there were no better native speakers available. She could only remember the language she spoke and heard in her childhood, and pronounce some expressions and simple sentences. Although Krymchak is a well-documented language, the available texts represent various written styles and folklore influenced by Crimean Tatar and Turkish. In contrast, documentation of spoken Krymchak is very poor. Therefore, even short recordings are worth publishing.
