Actually, i'd suggest a more detailed classification for Qazan
(Idil-Ural) Tatar:
Arab   (pre-1920)
YIml    (Arabic, Yaña imlâ (new orthography) which replaced optional
in Arabic harakats (diacritics-like vowels) w/ full-blown letters,
etc., 1920-1928)
Jnlf      (Latin w/ mix of Cyrillic letters, Jaŋalif (new alphabet),
1928-1938)
Cyrl    (Cyrl, "official" now, only because a law was introduced in
Moscow to forbid switching from Cyrillic to any other alphabets)

Along w/ Jnlf above, there are now several other versions of Latin
alphabet for Tatar that are de-facto in use (such as IQTElif
(İdíl-Ural-Qırım Tatar Elifbası)). At some point one of them might
become official despite the outlawing of all non-Cyrillic alphabets
going on now.

Also, for Crimean Tatar (crh), the history would be as follows:
Arab   (pre-1928)
Jnlf      (Latin w/ mix of Cyrillic letters, Jaŋalif (new alphabet),
1928-1938)
Cyrl    (Cyrl)
Latn   (now official)
