The club of spoken Nanai has opened in ASUHP. The next meeting is on March 11

On the eve of the International Mother Tongue Day on February 18, a club of spoken Nanai language was opened on the basis of the scientific and educational center for the Development of the Nanai language and Culture of the Amur State University of Humanities and Pedagogy. After all, the main unifying feature of a nation is precisely the language. As the founder of linguistics V. Humboldt wrote, "Language is the breath, the very soul of the nation." A language ceases to exist - a nation disappears. In order to preserve and revive the Nanai language, this club was organized. The moderator of this event is Vasily S. Kharitonov, a researcher at the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The work is carried out in two directions: an introductory course (for those who have long wanted to study it), and active use in communication for those who speak the Nanai language. Already at the first meeting, residents of Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Komsomolsk district, Amursk and Nanai district came, which indicates interest in such events. The communicative approach allowed to immerse oneself in practice, recall communication with the older generation, clarify the pronunciation features. The face-to-face format of meetings is planned once a month with support in a remote format. We invite everyone to the next meeting on March 11, 2022 to hear this melodious and beautiful language and get acquainted with the cultural heritage of this original people.
