Resources on the language of the Kryashen (or Kerashen) Tatars

[Goldberg, Stuart H]

Крәшен (the first vowel is a front vowel like a in cat) is the Tatar word, which comes etymologically, of course, from Russian крещеные. The y in the English form Kryashen comes from the Russified version of the Tatar word--Russian conveys this front vowel through palatalization (кряшен).

Монографии: 
1) «Говоры татар-кряшен в сравнительном освещении». - М., Наука, 1986 г. 
В монографии анализируются фонетические, морфологические особенности говоров крещеных татар, живущих в Татарстане и за ее пределами в сравнении с другими диалектами и говорами, а также с другими тюркскими и финно-угорскими языками. 
2) «Крещеные татары. Язык и обряды, обычаи». - Казань, 1997, 248 стр. 
В монографии описывается язык и духовная культура, термины обрядов и обычаев на фоне огромного иллюстративного материала, записанного по всем говорам крещеных татар. 
Remarkably, the following site appears to allow you to order her dissertation "Этнолингвистические исследования по говорам крещеных татар" or its avtoreferat: http://www.dissercat.com/content/etnolingvisticheskie-issledovaniya-po-govoram-kreshchenykh-tatar. Even on this first page, there is a lot of published literature mentioned.

Brian, are you sure you are not talking about 'kreschen' or 'krescheni' (baptized) Tatars?
