Russian ( ??????? ????&_160; (help•info), transliteration russkiy yazyk, Russian pronunciation ['rusk??j j?'z?k]) is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia, the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages, and the largest native language in Europe. Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages and is one of three (or, according to some authorities, four) living members of the East Slavic languages, the others being Belarusian and Ukrainian (and possibly Rusyn, often considered a dialect of Ukrainian). It is also spoken by the countries of the Russophone. Written examples of Old East Slavonic are attested from the 10th century onwards. Today Russian is widely used outside Russia. Over a quarter of the world's scientific literature is published in Russian.[3] It is also applied as a means of coding and storage of universal knowledge — 60–70% of all world information is published in English and Russian languages.[3] Russian also is a necessary accessory of world communications systems (broadcasts, air- and space communication, etc).[3] Due to the status of the Soviet Union as a superpower, Russian had great political importance in the 20th century. Hence, the language is one of the official languages of the United Nations. Russian distinguishes between consonant phonemes with palatal secondary articulation and those without, the so-called soft and hard sounds. This distinction is found between pairs of almost all consonants and is one of the most distinguishing features of the language. Another important aspect is the reduction of unstressed vowels, which is somewhat similar to that of English. Stress in Russian is neither indicated orthographically, nor governed by phonological rules. Russian is a Slavic language in the Indo-European family. From the point of view of the spoken language, its closest relatives are Ukrainian and Belarusian, the other two national languages in the East Slavic group. In many places in eastern Ukraine and Belarus, these languages are spoken interchangeably, and in certain areas traditional bilingualism resulted in language mixture, e.g. Surzhyk in eastern Ukraine and Trasianka in Belarus. An East Slavic Old Novgorod dialect, although vanished during the fifteenth or sixteenth century, is sometimes considered to have played a significant role in formation of the modern Russian language.

Specific character of translation from Russian into the foreign language On the norms of United Nations a transfer into each language can achieve only the translator, for whom this language is native ( the carrier of language).

9. Are You Self-Conscious Speaking A New Language?
May 19, 2008
Regardless of which language you are learning, you will encounter a number of sounds which don't exist in your native language. Initially, even just listening to a native speaker making these sounds might make you smirk - but wait until you have to reproduce it yourself. That's when you face one of the principal obstacles many students never overcome: self-consciousness.
For me, the English "th" sound was one of these... as is the "r" in Spanish, Italian or Russian. The thought of showing my tongue to the world is just not a comfortable one, period. Can't I just substitute the weird ne... (read more)
