Institute of Linguistics in Tartu (formerly the USSR Academy of Linguistics) has announced that the Russian language in the coming year may be excluded from the list of languages ​​in the world.

Monitoring, organized annually by the staff of the institute, showed that the Russian language has ceased to meet the minimum requirements for identity, richness of vocabulary and scope.

If, during the 2013 picture does not change, the Russian language will be declared dead language, with all its consequences: the closure of Russian language courses in Europe, excluding it from the official languages ​​of the world (UN, UNESCO) and the ban on its use in embassies to communicate with the Russians.

It must be said that the Institute of Linguistics in the last five years, warned the authorities of the Russian Federation each year to the high probability of events in this scenario, but all his appeals have gone unanswered. According to the classification of UNESCO, there are several stages of dying languages, and Russian fully comply with the most severe of them: the language of Russia became the situational context-the set of grammatical forms.

This point of regression is characterized by the following features.

First, the derivation is almost completed on the basis of their native roots. New terms and concepts are borrowed. The concepts that came from without, displace native counterparts of the two synonyms survives borrowed. The Company is not able to produce an adequate substitute for foreign words, content with a direct borrowing, breaks the connection between the activities of the individual and his native language. A special case of this regression is the "language of the slaves", which is sufficient to understand the instructions the owner, but absolutely useless for communicating on abstract themes. As an example, scientists Tartu lead is widespread in Russia, "runglish."

Second, knowledge of the language ceases to be encouraged in society. Decreases the value of this knowledge to economically active individuals, language is not able to raise the cost of an employee in the competitive struggle in the labor market. In the first place in employment and personal relationships out minimum wage, so the employment structure is dominated by "criminals" at the top of the pyramid, and "guest workers" in her basement. The state of society without visible protest reduced hours teaching their native language in school exams in his place in the form of anonymised testing. Reduced the overall level of literacy of television and radio broadcasting, newspapers are published with typos and errors that nobody notices.

Third, government agencies do not use their official language of the country. Patriarchal Orthodox Church conducts worship in Church, the Interior Ministry official uses a simplified dialect of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs operates in French, German and English. In such a situation is completely lost the notion of a common language, divides the population by occupation, which determines the value and meaning of words.

Fourthly, language ceases to be shaped from a washed total value of words, synonyms preferred pronouns "he" and "this." Communication between people is reduced to the situational context-word-formation, often based on one of the root.

- Give this figovinu.
- On a fig?
- I have it here prifigachu this garbage.


How to write the researchers from Tartu, this dialogue is very reminiscent of the higher animals communicate that with the same sounds convey information to each other, a specific situation.

Summing up the results of his study, Institute of Linguistics Tartu notes with regret that the Russian language is de facto already dead, and remains the last year of its official existence.

It is a very rich language but Russia's glory days are over nevertheless; I think this is normal, it's like Rome , Portugal and England were ones Great and than fell into economic and intellectual stagnation.
World have to unite and save russian women- they are the only true treasure Russia has left; The rest is decay

Not sure how this is relevant.

Latin, English and Portuguese still rank among the most influential languages of all time.

Those Americans that think Russia, Arabic, Hindi or Chinese are going anywhere need somebody take the side of their house out, hoist them onto a low loader, and then onto a reinforced operating theatre to have a Gastric Band installed.

But what hope is there when the Presidential favourite thinks a World Tour is meeting wealthy American Donors in London, only taking time out to make an arse of himself over the Olympics, and then a whilst stop tour to Israel, to unilaterally declare Jerusalem its capital?

The Russian language's rise and decline mirrors the rise and decline of the Soviet empire, but the language isn't about to disappear; likewise, the French language survived France's loss of its empire.

The thing I find surprising is that there is still no obvious challenger to English's status as the world language. Mandarin Chinese is backed by China's growing population and economy, but the writing system is difficult to master if it isn't drilled into you as a child. So I don't see it replacing English, in the next few decades anyway.

And the continued dominance of the US dollar is a true mystery.
