California Tatar Newsletter in Tatar

Here's a first. The American Turko-Tatar Association Newsletter, from the Tatar Community in Burlingame, started published their newsletter in Tatar.

Evolution of Tatar Writing

Picto-script >> Arabic script >> Latin Alphabet >> Cyrillic Alphabet >> Yanalif
Other Tatars use the Modern Turkish Alphabet
Tatars in the United States and Australia use a modified Turkish Alphabet based on the standard QWERTY keyboard.

Our alphabet has changed so many times that our heads are spinning. With each change of alphabet, an entire generation becomes illiterate. The spoken language remains the same.

We're excited about this addition to the newsletter. It provides an opportunity for those that don't speak English to keep up to date, and for others to strengthen their Tatar Language skills.
