RESEARCH OF ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHING NANAIS THE NATIVE LANGUAGE IN THE FAR EASTERN REGIONS OF RUSSIA

Abstract

The article analyzes the laws of the Russian Federation and the productivity of measures to teach the native language, carried out in relation to the small indigenous peoples of the Far East. In particular, the study considers the teaching of the Nanai language as a native language, its coexistence with the state Russian language. In addition to the fact that the position of small peoples is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, various spheres of life of the Nanai people are regulated by regulatory documents at the federal and regional levels. The activities carried out in the Khabarovsk Territory to preserve the national identity of the Nanai people are investigated, since a closer linguistic community is observed in this region. Teaching the Nanai language is carried out within the framework of school programs or in the form of additional optional classes. Further education is possible at specialized universities in philology. Although small nationalities received legislative protection of their rights, nevertheless, the current policy is not enough to preserve linguistic and cultural identity. It is necessary to create conditions and legislatively consolidate the possibility of using bilingualism, instill in those around them understanding, tolerance and interest in another language in order to contribute to its preservation.
