Difficulties in describing plants in minority languages using the example of the Tatar language

Type of submission

Lightning talk

Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

There are a number of problems in filling out materials on the topic of flora and fauna of Tatarstan in Wikipedia in the Tatar language. Firstly, there is a lack of information about the nature of the republic and the unavailability of publications by Tatar scientists. Secondly, the terminology in the Tatar language is incomplete. Thirdly, these are synonyms, repeated names, folk names of plants and animals. And much more. The same difficulties can be observed on the pages of other minority languages. My report draws attention to these problems and presents ways to solve them.
