Chuvash is one of the largest minority languages in the European part of Russia. The Chuvash MAIN not only extends the empirical coverage of MAIN by including the only extant member of the Oghur (Bulgar) branch of the Turkic language family, but also offers an important tool to assess the narrative abilities of Russian-Chuvash bilingual children in their first language.</p> ER -
