<b>Description:</b>
 
Tuvan (Tuvan: Тыва дыл Tyva dyl), also known as Tuvinian, Tyvan, or Tuvin, is one of the Turkic languages. It is spoken by around 200,000 people in the Republic of Tuva in south-central Siberia in Russia. The language borrows a great number of roots from the Mongolian language and more recently from the Russian language. There are small diaspora groups of Tuvan people that speak distinct dialects of Tuvan in the People's Republic of China and in Mongolia.
Tuvan is linguistically classified as a Northeastern or Siberian Turkic language, closely related to several other Siberian Turkic languages including Khakas and Altai languages. Tuvan, as spoken in Tuva, is principally divided into four dialect groups; Western, Central, Northeastern, Southeastern.
Other dialects include those spoken by the Dzungar, the Tsengel and the Dukha bands of Tuvans, but currently these uncommon dialects are not comprehensively documented.
Tuvan has 19 native consonant phonemes. Additionally, /f/ and /ʦ/ are found in some Russian loanwords. The distinction between initial bilabial and alveolar stops is based on aspiration for most speakers and voicing for others.
Vowels in Tuvan exist in three varieties:<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=488346 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
