History of Chuvash Lexicography

In the history of Chuvash lexicography, Russian-Chuvash dictionaries have been and remain the priority.

Studies of the Chuvash words begin in the 18th century - scholars and clergymen include Chuvash words with multilingual dictionaries in order to collect and study the vocabulary of the peoples of the Russian Empire ("Description of the three pagan peoples living in the Kazan province, like: cheremis, Chuvashs and Votyaks ..." G. F. Miller (St. Petersburg, German edition 1759 ; contains 313 Chuvash words) and Comparative Dictionaries of All Languages and Adverbs, edited by P. S. Pallas (St. Petersburg, vol. I, 1787; vol. II, 1789 ; 285 words with translation and in the Chuvash language),

In the 18th century , many handwritten dictionary collections were compiled. The most famous of them is the "Dictionary of languages of different peoples living in the Nizhny Novgorod diocese, namely: Russians, Tatars, Chuvash, Mordovians and Cheremis ...", compiled under the leadership of Bishop Damaskin.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the native speakers of the Chuvash language, as well as those who are fluent in it, are involved in the creation of dictionaries. Famous works of this period:

“The Root Chuvash-Russian Dictionary” by N. I. Zolotnitsky ( Kazan , 1875 );
"A guide to the study of the Chuvash language" with Chuvash.-Russian. dictionary of N. Lebedev (Kazan, 1894 );
Chuvash Dictionary by H. Paasonen ( 1908 );
The Russian-Chuvash Dictionary (Kazan, 1909 ) and the Chuvash-Russian Dictionary (Kazan, 1919 ) N.V. Nikolsky and others.

Significant events in the Chuvash lexicography of the 30s of the last century were the Russian-Chuvash Training Dictionary edited by T. M. Matveev ( Cheboksary , 1931 ; 7 thousand words) and the Chuvash-Russian Dictionary by V. G. Egorov (Cheboksary , 1936 ; 25 thousand words).

A truly invaluable contribution to Chuvash lexicography was made by N. I. Ashmarin: his titanic work - the 17-volume “Dictionary of the Chuvash language” - has become a treasury of the Chuvash language and culture around the world. The dictionary contains over 55 thousand dictionary entries. In the future, the development of Chuvash lexicography is based on the Ashmarin dictionary.

In the post-war period, dictionaries of an advanced scientific and methodological level are being developed. In this regard, it is worth noting the work of V. G. Egorov: his 2nd, substantially revised edition of the Chuvash-Russian Dictionary ( 1954 ), two editions of the Russian-Chuvash Dictionary of the educational type ( 1960 , 1972 ) and Etymological Dictionary Chuvash language ”( 1964 ). Also in Moscow, the Russian-Chuvash dictionary is published under the editorship of N.K. Dmitrieva ( 1951 ), Russian-Chuvash Dictionary, Ed. I.A. Andreeva and N.P. Petrova (1971). In Moscow, the complete Chuvash-Russian dictionaries were published: in 1961, under the editorship of M. Ya. Sirotkina, and 1982 and 1985, under the editorship of M. I. Skvortsova (the first illustrated dictionary in the country).
