Languages spoken in Russia
Over 100 languages are spoken in Russia with many Russian Republics giving official status to their local languages. Russia is the most widely spoken language and is the unifying language of all the republics. It is an east Slavic language and is used widely outside of Russia as well. 60-70 per cent of all world information is written in Russia. It is one of the official languages of the United Nations with 350 million speakers world- wide. Ukrainian is also an east Slavic language originating from the 16th century. It is the official language of the Ukraine with 39 million speakers. It is the second most spoken language in the Russian empire. Tatar belongs to the Turkic language family and is spoken by the Tatars. Two thirds of Tartars live outside of Tartarstan with 8 million speakers. It is the third largest spoken language in Russia. Bashkir is similar to the Tartar language. In the past Bashkirs used the Tatar written language as their written language. In 1923, they developed their own written language. Most speakers live in Bashkortostan. There are over one million speakers of the language in Russia.
About some means of communication
Telegraphy( from the Greek words‘ far’ and‘ write’) is the long-distance transmission of messages without physical transport of letters. Radiotelegraphy or wireless telegraphy transmits messages using radio. Telegraph messages sent by a telegraph operator using Morse code are known as a telegram or cablegram. Before long distance telephone services were available, telegrams were very popular. They were often used to send urgent information. In the late 19th century armies used a method of signalling called‘ heliography’. This involved using the reflection of the sun on a mirror to pass messages in Morse code. Naturally, they were reliant on the weather being clear and sunny. On a good day, it was possible to send a message over 30 miles!
Ocean noise pollution
You would probably be surprised to hear just how badly wildlife is affected by noise. But, you see, ocean mammals, such as whales, seals and dolphins need to be able to hear really well. Whales, for example, communicate by using low-frequency sound waves. This information is vital for them as it tells them where they can find each other, where to get food and also helps with breeding! They often communicate over hundreds or thousands of kilometers and, as the ocean is now ten times noisier than it was fifty years ago, it has become impossible for whales to hear each other if they are more than 100 miles away. And, marine mammals are in danger of swimming far away from breeding grounds and feeding grounds ― some mammals may find themselves stranded. But, there are even more serious consequences of ocean noise pollution. For example, sound blasts from military sonar can cause bleeding of the eyes, ears and organs in whales and dolphins. You may
