The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved a decree on the development of spelling of the Crimean Tatar language using the alphabet of this language based on the Latin script.
It is noted that the development of a new spelling was entrusted to the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience and the Ministry of Education and Science with the participation of the Potebnia Institute of Linguistics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, and Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people.
The team of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center makes every effort to preserve the language of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, and therefore our website is available in the Crimean Tatar language:
This activity is especially important on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the languages of the indigenous peoples, and also given the fact that the Crimean Tatar language is included in the UNESCO list of endangered languages.
In addition, in 2019, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center translated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into the Crimean Tatar language and posted it on the official UN resource. And in 2021, we translated the European Convention on Human Rights into the Crimean Tatar language. We also plan to translate Ukrainian legislation related to Crimea and Crimean Tatars.
The CTRC also conducts an information campaign dedicated to the restoration of historical toponymy in Crimea Return the names – return Crimea, which also contributes to the preservation of the Crimean Tatar language.
