Chuvash

Chuvash (Чӑваш чӗлхи)

Chuvash is a Turkic language with about 2 million speakers in Russia.
It is the official language of the Chuvash Republic, Чăваш
Республики
, which is
also known as the Chuvashia, Чува́шия,
and is also spoken in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.

The first Chuvash grammar was published in 1769. A number of dictionaries,
translations of religious texts and folkloric texts were published during the
18th and early 19th centuries. Chuvash has been written with a Runic script,
the Arabic alphabet, and the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The Cyrillic alphabet
for Chuvash was first introduced in 1873 by Ivan Yakovlevich Yakovlev. Since then it
has undergone a number of revisions, particularly in 1938. The Latin alphabet is
sometimes used as well, though there is no standard, official version.
