The Bashkir language is being forgotten, and it would be nice to add the language to the language learning application. Bashkir is a unique language that is universal, with the help of which you can understand many Turkic languages, such as Tatar, Kazakh, Uzbek and others. Teaching this language would give an increase in native speakers, which is so necessary for modern Bashkortostan. Therefore, we are creating a petition that asks to add the Bashkir language to the Duolingo application.

Аi, Hai, Salavat! Bashkir folk song.

Bashkir is the official language of the Republic of Bashkortostan, 2 million Bashkirs live in the world, According to updated data, the number of people speaking Bashkir is decreasing from year to year, as there is no one to teach people. We believe that Duolingo will help increase the number of Bashkir speakers.

Башҡорттар Алға! 

We tell the story of the creation of the petition:

I remember coming to school.. by the 5th grade, at the Bashkir language lesson, I was surprised that many children could not translate simple sentences and words, then it dawned on me that Bashkir was really being forgotten, I decided that this should not be allowed, I then studied the language in the Duolingo application, and thought why not, sat down at the computer and began to write a petition to add the Bashkir language to Duolingo, and signatures are already being collected here! Hopefully in the future we will be able to gather a large number of votes to encourage Duolingos to add Bashkir language to their wonderful application.

Therefore, we ask Duolingo to help the Bashkirs, and add our language to their application, thank you for reading, we are waiting for your voice!
