Ukraine: Crimean Tatar Language on Twitter

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Ukraine, Arts & Culture, Digital Activism, Language, Technology

Hirano Takaci (@hiranotakaci [1]), a Lviv-based photographer [2] and teacher of the Japanese language, has recently launched a Twitter bot – @ukr_crh [3] – that posts Ukrainian words/phrases and their Crimean Tatar (Qırımca) translations. “The thing is, I've been searching but haven't found any Ukrainian-language books about the Crimean Tatar language,” he explained [4] [uk] on Twitter. “People would like to learn, but it is hard to find. And this is sad.”
