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.
