<b>Description:</b>

Chuvash (Chuvash: Чӑвашла Čăvašla, IPA: [tɕəʋaʂˈla]) is a Turkic language spoken in central Russia, primarily in the Republic of Chuvashia and adjacent areas. It is the only surviving member of the Oghur branch of Turkic languages.
The writing system for the Chuvash language is based largely on the Cyrillic alphabet, employing all of the letters used in the Russian alphabet, and adding four letters of its own: Ӑ, Ӗ, Ҫ and Ӳ.
Chuvash is the native language of the Chuvash people and an official language of Chuvashia. It is spoken by about two million people. 86% of ethnic Chuvash and 8% of the people of other ethnicities living in Chuvashia claimed knowledge of Chuvash language during the 2002 census. Despite that, and although Chuvash is taught at schools and sometimes used in the media, it is considered endangered, because Russian dominates in most spheres of life and few children learning the language are likely to become active users.
Chuvash is the most distinctive of the Turkic languages and cannot be understood by speakers of other Turkic tongues. Today, Chuvash is classified, alongside with Khazar, Turkic Avar, Bulgar, and, possibly, Hunnic, as a member of the Oghuric branch<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=753889 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
