Indigenous Russian languages have officially been added to Google Translate, including, but not limited to: Avar, Bashkir, Buryat, Chechen, Chuvash, Ossetian, Udmurt, Tuvan, Yakut, Crimean Tatar, Komi, and Meadow-Mari. Over 614 million - about 8% of the world's population - speak these languages (about a quarter of them are African languages). In the future, Google expects to create an artificial intelligence model that'll support the 1000 most common languages around the world.


Brief testing has shown that Google Translate demonstrates more accurate results when translating words and sentences from Indigenous Russian languages into Russian, than when translating Russian into other languages. While some words disappear from the context, Google Translate gives the best results from existing analogues.
