Things to know about Bashkir

Bashkir is spoken in several republics within Russia. It is a member of the Turkic language family.

If your Bashkir lessons require you to type Bashkir characters, follow the instructions immediately below to do so. If your lessons use transliterated Bashkir, see the Using Transliterated Bashkir Lessons section further down.

Using Bashkir Lessons

Bashkir uses a Cyrillic alphabet, similar but not identical to that of Russian. Bashkir text is written from left to right, the same as English.

To type Bashkir characters:

1. Position your cursor somewhere where you can type, and verify that the virtual keyboard layout is set to Bashkir.
2. Locate the character you want on the virtual keyboard, then click on it or press the corresponding key on your physical keyboard. Capital letters are available by holding down the Shift key. See Typing special scripts for details.

Using Transliterated Bashkir Lessons

Some units may include transliterated Bashkir lessons in addition to lessons which use the actual Bashkir characters. Transliterated lessons can help you master vocabulary and pronunciation before tackling a new writing system.

You do not have to type actual Bashkir characters in transliterated Bashkir lessons. You can type the transliterations in any activity or assessment that requires typed answers.

The transliterated Bashkir content may use special characters such as ö. See Typing accents or special characters for instructions on typing these characters.
