| Abstract:
Some suggestions presented to solve the difficulties of describing plants in the Tatar language: expanding the volume of material in the Tatar language based on the translation of more complete information from other languages. In the absence of modern research, search and processing of information and terminology about the flora of Tatarstan from Soviet books, articles and textbooks in the Tatar language. In the absence of some terms, find these terms in related languages (Bashkir, Kazakh, Kyrgyz) and discuss the possibility of their adaptation in the Tatar language. |

| How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of CEE?
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 CEE languages. My report draws attention to these problems and presents ways to solve them. | |||
