Talk:Languages of Russia

message: I started the article today, because it had been requested for over a year. I am not a linguist, but I take interest in it. Other Wikipedians are more than welcome to edit and improve this article. Most of the information is taken from Ethnologue or borrowed from existing Wikipedia entries. It would be splendid if someone made a section called Alphabets of languages of Russia (see Languages of India for inspiration).

replies: text: Mostly, the alphabet would be a variant of Cyrillic alphabet. Probably, there is already a page that lists the variants of Cyrillic alphabet derived from the Russian alphabet, which are used for languages of Russia and some other languages of the "neighbours". As to the official languages of Russia, the official script must be Cyrillic according to Russian laws.--Imz 18:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, with the exception of the minority languages of Karelia, Karelia and Veps, which are both formally written with a variant of the Finnish alphabet (they are both very closely related to Finnish, to the extent of being more or less mutually intelligible).

message: There are probably more endangered languages in Russia than listed here, but it's a bit strange to say that Udmurt is endangered. Over 300000 speakers, it's actively taught (including to the PMs of the Udmurt republic), has at least one radio, a couple of newspapers, an active presence online (e.g. over 3000 articles in the Udmurt wikipedia)... http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D1%8F%D0%B7%D1%8B%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B8 lists the languages of Russia, there is quite a few with under 20000 speakers. Those are endangered.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.36.70.212 (talk) 14:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I've just tagged Ukrainian being a recognised language in Crimea. I've encountered a few articles from, er... slightly biased sources claiming that Ukrainian is being banned in schools. Any WP:RS to confirm that it's an officially recognised language? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:06, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It hasn't been banned. All of the schools with ukrainian language of teaching were closed. It explained as the ammount of people willing their children to get education in ukrainian language dropped drasticly, so there is no need in those schools anymore. You are still able to study ukrainian language at the language classes though, if there are enough amount of parents who want their child to learn it. Here is the interview of the Minister of Education of Crimea where she tells about it (ria.ru). I've added source to the new Constitution of Crimea, to the one who would like to read the language paragraph – type <Статья 10> in the search field. A.dmyme (talk) 14:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
