Abstract

Tatarstan, which declared independence on August 30, 1990, a year before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, gained equal status with 15 federal republics and further promoted sovereign independence, but remained as a national republic in the Russian Federation through a treaty with the Russian Federation in February 1994.
 In the process of gaining sovereignty, the Tatar language law was enacted in July 1992, the Tatar language was established as a national language along with Russian, a 10-year republic-level program was enacted in April 1994, and the Latin Translation Act was adopted in September 2001.
 But the push for linguistic independence was only natural, causing discontent and confusion among Russians and other Russian-speaking minorities, with the indigenous-led Tatar population barely exceeding half of the republic's population, and causing checks from the Russian federal government. In particular, parents' dissatisfaction with the decline in Russian education time due to the increase in the number of Tatar education hours in school education has increased, and the negative effects of text replacement, such as the possibility of interaction with Turkey in the Muslim-led ethnic republic.
 This eventually resulted in the addition of Russian to the list of more languages, allowing all ethnic republics to learn Russian in more education classes, and allowing only Cyril-based notation to be established. It was a change in the Russian federal government's ethnic-language policy, concerned about the enormous influence of the establishment and expansion of the identity of the Tatar and the Tatar languages, the most populous and traditional ethnic minorities in the Russian Federation.
