Yulia Savushkina - Introduction to the Tuvinian Language

The Tuvinian language is spoken in Tuva Republic in the southern part of Siberia in Russia and Mongolia. I was born and raised in this region which is historically, culturally and linguistically is way more different from any other 89 regions of Russia. The Tuvinian language was twice transformed and changed. Firstly, when they used the Mongolian alphabet to write, and secondly after the period of time when Tuva became a part of the USSR. Then, the alphabet was changed to Cyrillic. The Tuvininan language has borrowed Turkic, Mongolian and Russian words.
