Things to know about Nogai

Nogai is a language spoken in by the Nogai people in southwestern Russian.

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

Using Nogai Lessons

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

To type Nogai characters:

1. Position your cursor somewhere where you can type, and verify that the virtual keyboard layout is set to Nogai.
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 and certain punctuation marks, such as the question mark, are available by holding down the Shift key. A few additional characters are available by holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys at the same time. See Typing special scripts for details.

Using Transliterated Nogai Lessons

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

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

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