Learning Tatar was not abolished, it has become optional. Students who do not want to learn Tatar attend Russian lessons instead (it's called Native language lessons, 3 hours a week). Each school and every school principal can work out a solution to how to maintain students' interest in local language as well as provide Tatar language teachers with job. A good example is Mr Shmakov, a very honest and outspoken leader. Try to learn more about his school Solntse in Kazan, you'll understand why I say it is wholly up to the principal.

[@liviodefranza]

Did anyone consider that speaking Tatar helps you understand and learn more easily other Turkic languages (Literally 170 million people and still growing)? The guy who is saying that Tatar language is useless, did he ever thought what's the long-term potential of his own Russian language? I mean seriously, last few decades Russian is losing ground as international language (40-50 yrs ago my grandfather was using Russian as lingua franca when he was traveling in Eastern Europe, now most of young people in these countries speak decent English), Russian population is decreasing again, even Russian economy is far from golden years in 2000-2008 period. Perhaps we should remove Russian as official language of United Nations / working language of Council of Europe?

[@Silver_Prussian]

Russian has over 258 million total speakers worldwide, and is the most spoken Slavic language, the most spoken native language in Europe, as well as the most geographically widespread language in Eurasia. Yeah keep dreaming we slavs are here to stay and anyone who even thinks he can control us again or stand in our path will be crushed like a bug

[@liviodefranza]

@@Silver_Prussian I don’t say it will not survive, I am saying that it’s losing importance. The main language of a country which is economically and demographically stagnating.

But the most obscene assertion and it happens often on mainstream American media and on DW is when it picks on someone to state something which the TV station approves of , which is opposite to the facts. The majority of the non-Tatar children do NOT want to study Tatar as well even though DW picked on a girl to say the opposite

[@toriyshaov2245]

There is also one more problem - in school, they learn now 3 languages - Russian and 2 foreign languages. When you add one more lesson, wherefrom do you take hours? In all the Russian States they take them from the Russian language lessons and Literature. As a result in some places, children do not speak Russian anymore (I know at least one case in f village KBR - them boy was not able to understand Russian and failed in the University). They are not able to go to University. They are not able to move from their place to find a job. They do not pass the Literature exam.

[@kiparis777]

In Tatarstan, 53% of the population are Tatar, 39,7% are Russian, the rest are other ethnicities. So at least 47% of population were obliged to learn a language - neither native, nor useful in their daily life. Moreover, many of those ethnic Tatars have Russian as their native language. Nobody prohibit to learn, speak and teach Tatar language - if you need and want it to do. I am ethnic Tatar myself and I find it quite annoying when Tatar nationalists try to dictate me what language I should speak, or to shame me if I don't speak "the right one".

[@dynaa4168]

Albo Kiparis so u like it if ur language becomes extinct?

[@kiparis777]

@@dynaa4168 Forcing local Russians to learn it won't help Tatar to survive the XXI century. If a language is not competitive, it will disappear, and another language will take its place: Russian, English, Chinese, it doesn't really matter. And the problem is not that Russians don't want to learn it - it's just useless in daily life, except for speaking to your Grandma. Search for anything Tatar even here, on KZbin: a bunch of folk music, some cheesy pop singers and a couple of patriotic stuff. And the same happens in Latvia or Uzbekistan: they got rid of Russian, but their national languages remain regional, while for a proper education or advanced work you still need a foreign language - English.

Tatars are Volga Bulgars. They probably haven’t looked asian for a very long time and not only because they mixed with Slavs. They likely mixed with Finns in the Volga Basin and Iranian people’s in the steppe before their migration into the Volga region and only minimally mixed with Slavs

[@rin2004able]

Not true, because Tatars as a nation themselves were formed as mixture of finno-ugric and turkic tribes. Russians are not the reason. You have a lack of knowledge.
