Office of Inyazor, chief elder of Erzya people, presented new website aimed to popularize Erzya language, as reported by Ramazan Alpaut from Idel.Realii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Russian-Erzya and Erzya-Russian online dictionaries are available on the site<\/a>, as well as e-books collection and self-learning manuals in Erzya language, various applications for users working with Erzya texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syres\u2019 Boliayen\u2019, Erzya Inyazor, comments on the start of the project: \u201cMuch had been said and written about position of native peoples\u2019 languages in Russian Federation. Our aspirations to save national identity face accusations of Russian officials, they notice only \u201cseparatism and russofobia\u201d everywhere. People are so intimidated already, that even public declamation of Erzya poetry is perceived as a challenge\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Boliayen\u2019s words, today it is necessary to act quickly in order to prevent the whole Erzya nation from disappearing under violent Russian assimilation policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 To strengthen positions of Erzya language, particularly its internet-presence \u00a0is one of the most important tasks for me as Inyazor and all members of Atian\u2019 Ezem (council of elders). Without any support from Mordovian officials or foreign donors we were able to create a website that will promote Erzya language. Russian-Erzya and Erzya-Russian online dictionaries are available already, that\u2019s 19 643 words, expressions and idioms collected by Erzya activists during 10 years. It is our common work, it belongs to all Erzya people. We are also making e-collection of fairy-tales, songs and stories, \u2013 Inyazor explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team of seven activists works on development and maintenance of the site<\/a>. The resource is oriented towards users who study Erzya language or would like to improve their communication skills. All informations and instructions of the site are written (also) in Russian. Erzya texts are created in Latin graphics, because it is used in the work of Kirdiyur, national representative body of Erzya people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of Latin graphics is legally forbidden for official languages of national republics in Russia. Erzya is the official language in Republic of Mordovia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously Office of Inyazor presented its official website, as well as paper version of “\u011aRZ\u00c4\u0143 VAL” magazine, distributed both in printed and electronic versions. In the near future Office plans to realize the project aimed to record audiobooks for children in Erzya language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
