  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

  • Features of the Language of Tatars Living in China
    Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 17 (2): 168-172, 2013 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2013 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.mejsr.2013.17.02.12181 Features of the Language of Tatars Living in China Alfiya Shavketovna Yusupova, Ilvira Nikolaevna Denmukhametova, Guzel Amirovna Nabiullina and Gulnaz Rinatovna Mugtasimova Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Russia Abstract: This study is focused on linguistic (phonetic, lexical and grammatical) features of speech of the Tatar diaspora living in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (People’s Republic of China). The language of the Tatars living in this area has undergone certain changes due to its interactions with the contacting Turkic (Uyghur and Kazakh) languages. Due to the historical events, this language has been evolving in isolation from the modern Tatar-speaking population in the Chinese-speaking environment. For this very reason, archaic elements typical of the Old Tatar language have been preserved in it. On the other hand, the close territorial contacts, as well as national and cultural ties with the Uyghurs and Kazakhs have been establishing good conditions for penetration of Chinese words into the language of Tatars living in China. Studying the lexical and grammatical features of the language of the Tatar diaspora in the People’s Republic of China plays a significant role for solving individual problems related to the history and dialectology of the Modern Tatar and other Turkic languages (in particular, Uyghur and Kazakh ones). Key words: Tatar language Diaspora Lexical and grammatical features Borrowings Dialect INTRODUCTION Chinese cities of Kulja, Ürümqi and Tacheng were the centers of Tatar communities abroad.

  • Minority Languages in Russia and the Rise of Voluntary Assimilation
    MINORITY LANGUAGES IN RUSSIA AND THE RISE OF VOLUNTARY ASSIMILATION By NIKITA BOZICEVIC SENIOR THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES, LITERATURES, AND CULTURES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA FOR CONSIDERATION OF HONORS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 Bozicevic 1 MINORITY LANGUAGES IN RUSSIA AND THE RISE OF VOLUNTARY ASSIMILATION By Nikita Bozicevic May 2020 Majors: FLL-Russian Linguistics ABSTRACT In the Russian Federation, many groups have dedicated extensive time and resources toward minority language preservation, and yet a growing number of minority languages are becoming endangered or extinct. During the mid-twentieth century, this language loss was often caused by forced assimilation directed by the government, but today the issue is far more complex. Despite increased legal protections and funding to support minority languages, as well as various efforts by groups working toward preservation, minority language loss continues to occur. This paper will argue that voluntary assimilation is now one of the major driving forces of minority language loss in the Russian Federation, and it is caused not by one reason, but by a combination of various intertwining societal, political, and economic factors. Bozicevic 2 Introduction When a language is lost, a culture and history is lost with it. It is estimated that there are about one-hundred-fifty minority languages in Russia (Aref'ev, 83), all with varying statuses and preservation efforts. Many of these languages are considered endangered, some having fewer than a thousand speakers left, such as the Archi language (Dobrushina, 77-83), and the Yukaghir language with fewer than fifty. Historically, speakers of these languages struggled against assimilation efforts from the Russian and Soviet governments.

  • The Failure of Tatar Language Revival
    The Failure of Tatar Language Revival PONARS Policy Memo No. 379 Dmitry Gorenburg Harvard University December 2005 For minority nationalist activists at the dawn of perestroika , the decline of titular languages was one of the most pressing problems facing their republics. By the late 1980s , minority languages had been largely supplanted by Russian in the urban areas of most Soviet republics . Members of minority ethnic groups used the Russian language in public more than they used their native languages. To some extent, this was the case at home as well, especially among young people. The fear of a continuing language shift was one of the main mobilizing factors in the nationalist movements that developed in virtually all ethnic regions of the USSR in the lat e 1980s. While the political success of these movements varied greatly, all of the former republics of the USSR , as well as a majority of the former autonomous republics, undertook language revival programs after independence. In this memo, I discuss the extent to which government -sponsored language revival programs are able to change language use in a region that is part of a large republic with a different majority language. I focus on Tatarstan, one of the ethnic republics that remained a part of Russia and did not become independent in 1991. Given its status as part of the Russian Federation and the even split between Tatars and Russians in the republic’s population, Tatarstan presents a good case for examining the extent to which government efforts to revive a language can succeed in a situation where another language continues to be widely spoken and is perceived by a large part of the population to be more prestigious and more useful than the language being revived.

  • Tatar Language Policies in Comparative Perspective: Why Some Revivals Fail and Some Succeed
    Ab Imperio, 1/2005 Dmitry GORENBURG TATAR LANGUAGE POLICIES IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE: WHY SOME REVIVALS FAIL AND SOME SUCCEED Introduction For minority nationalist activists at the dawn of perestroika, the decline of titular languages was one of the most pressing problems facing their republics. By the late 1980s in the urban areas of most Soviet republics, minority languages had been largely supplanted by Russian.1 Members of minority ethnic groups used the Russian language in public more than they used their native languages. To some extent, this was the case at home as well, especially among younger cohorts.2 The fear of continuing language shift was one of the main mobilizing factors in the nationalist movements that deve- loped in virtually all ethnic regions of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s.3 While 1 I use the term minority to refer to the groups status within the Soviet Union as a whole. Some of the groups comprised majorities of the population of their territorial homelands. 2 Lenore A. Grenoble. Language Policy in the Soviet Union. Boston, 2003. P. 193-197. 3 Dmitry P. Gorenburg.

This occurred even in those regions where former Communist elites retained power in the 1990s.4 In this article, I seek to examine the extent to which government-sponsored language revival programs are able to change the language-use situation in a region that is part of a large state with a different majority language.
