Tatar as the second official language
Russian newsagents reported that the Tatar commodities have offered to establish Tatar language as the second official (state) language of the Russian Federation. They motivate their initiative by results of the last national census, when about 4% of population said that they considered themselves as the Tatars.
This initiative to become the reality has to be approved by the Federal Assembly (the parliament of the Russian Federation). It has to pass a new federal law on this issue and then this law has to be signed by the President.
As for me I think that reality of Tatar language, as the second official language of the Russian Federation is questionable.
Note: Now only Russian language is the official language of Russia. But subjects of the Russian Federation can have their own additional official languages. For instance Tatar language is one of the official languages of the Republic of Tatarstan (Tatarstan).
