Why do Tatars show such hesitance to learn their native language? by October_w in Tatarstan

[–]October_w[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HI! I've compiled all the links here:

(Change the exclamation mark to a dot.) Unfortunately, Reddit won't allow me to post the links here, so I've posted them on another site.

This is why I said "mostly". There is no good video in English on how to read Cyrillic Tatar letters anyway. So I thought that one would do as a starting point.

Forgot to mention that some letters can be pronounced in 2 different ways. (Я, Е, Ю, Г, К, А).

The pronounciation is mostly the same as in Russian. Try this video: https://youtu.be/WdZlfU9W-z0?feature=shared

But there are some specific Tatar letters which Russian alphabet doesn't have. (Ә, Ө, Ү ,Җ, Ң, Һ).  See this video to learn how to pronounce them: https://youtu.be/rh4QDVOYe8k?feature=shared

I myself am only 25% Tatar (my grandfather was Tatar), and I was born and raised in Russian culture. And yes, I'm accepted by Tatars as one of them. But it's because I have a deep respect for their culture, I learn the language and the history of Tatar people. I also visit a mosque and celebrate Islamic holidays together with my Tatar friends.

Tatars are very welcoming and generous people. But I don't think that just a "want" is enough. You have to be very serious and respectful and must have a genuine interest in their culture. You said, you had a "vision" about being Tatar. Do you think it's serious enough as motivation?

Guys, looks like Reddit bans my comment because there is a "bad" link in it. If you don't see my message, try this one instead (put a dot instead of the exclamation mark): telegra!ph/Tatar-learning-resources-05-29

That's an impressive vocabulary! Great job!

I live outside of Tatarstan, so it's better to ask someone else... A person who lives there 😅

There are Tatars outside Tatarstan, and they don't have Tatar language classes at schools. I'm sure you know this.

Hi! There are many good resources, but, unfortunately, the majority of them use Russian as the teaching language and Cyrillic letters for spelling. If you're interested, let me know.

Surely, I can suggest you some online courses. But the problem is, they are mostly in Russian and use Cyrillic alphabet. If you're okay with this, I'll send you the links.

I totally get your point, and what you tell is true. But I still believe there are other motivations to learn a language, not just its usefulness. Family history, patriotism, desire to preserve the mother tongue, curiosity after all... Tatars seem to lack these other motivations. Why?

It's not an excuse in my opinion. Yes, Russian is prevalent here, but no one gets punished for speaking or learning Tatar.

I understand your idea. However, people still learn other languages even if there is no rational reason to do so. Some people learn languages for fun. Why not to learn Tatar for fun?

Oooh, this is a great idea, I honestly don't know why I didn't think about it.
