What Is CăVashLat?

The Formula is basic:

CăVashLat = căvash + lattin

Here's what it means and equals to: Căvash is the name for our nation and its diverse language, Lattin is Chuvash spelling of Latin stands for Latin script. Besides Chuvash verb căvashlat simply means "to chuvashify", "to make smth Chuvash", "to let smth become Chuvash". Hence CăvashLat is a magic name of the Chuvash Latin Script. It is an orgiginal spell, a talisman of the Chuvash language. 

CăvashLat emerged in the new century in the chuvash internet community Chuvash.org.  The interest of incorporating Chuvash Language and Latin Script on the brinks of centuries worked well with the growing influence of globalization, IT development, flagged by Latin Script in part and provided through the English language. Besides political and social issues associated with the collapse of the USSR played part, as the west met and discovered the cultures of Russia unknown before. 

The idea of cultural Renaissance of the Chuvash and resistance to assimilation by the Russian was stronlgy supported in 90s, which led to discussions whether or not should the Chuvash officially use latin script as opposed to the old Cyrillic. The same question arose in neighbouring Tatarstan, where Latin script for Tatar was legalized. Chuvashia has never gone that far. And the position of Latin script among the Chuvash is rather weak. Nevertheless, when Chuvash internet community started its existence the idea of a Latin Script for the Chuvash Language met many followers and so was CăvashLat created. 

CăvashLat is exclusively intended to contribute to preservation and development of the Chuvash Language, making it more open to the globe. It is opposed to further destruction brought by Russian nationalism and chauvinism which grew extremely powerful while ex-KGB President Putin.
