Tatiana Popova. Chevostik. Our Russian language

How and when did the Russian language appear? What do the words “sharomyga”, “kibitka” and “zhalik” mean? Why do they speak differently in different parts of our country? And why did Peter the Great remake the alphabet?
In the new book in the series of children's encyclopedias with Chevostik, your favorite characters will get acquainted with the history of the Russian language. They will find out what kind of “ancestors” and “relatives” he had; will hear how people spoke 900 years ago; they will figure out what borrowed and obsolete words are and what literary styles there are.
The heroes will meet historical figures who made an important contribution to the history of our literature: Cyril and Methodius, Vladimir Dal, Mikhail Lomonosov and Alexander Pushkin. They will remember how the Glagolitic alphabet differs from the Cyrillic alphabet, and the Old Russian language from Old Church Slavonic. They will also be convinced that you can speak Russian not only out loud or in writing, but also with the help of sign language, flags and radio signals.
Chevostik is a cute hero from a famous audio project. Today the guys know him from encyclopedias. The series continues to publish books that explain the structure of the world to children.
Children perceive information much better when some fairy-tale character tells them about the world. That is why girls and boys love such encyclopedias so much.
Chevostik, together with Uncle Kuzya, makes amazing journeys into the world of science: physics, chemistry, astronomy, anatomy, geology and others. He tells children about great geographical discoveries, space exploration and magical chemical transformations.
