Slide 2

The ancestor of modern Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian languages was Old Russian. The collapse of the Old Russian language led to the emergence of the Russian (or Great Russian) language, different from Ukrainian and Belarusian. Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian belong to the group of Slavic languages; This happened in the 14th century (about 700 years ago)

Slide 3

The alphabet is much older than the alphabet. In the 9th century there was no alphabet, and the Slavs did not have their own letters. And therefore there was no writing. The Slavs could not write books or even letters to each other in their language. But first answer this question: how does the alphabet differ from the alphabet? The word “alphabet” comes from the names of the first two letters of the Slavic alphabet: A (az) and B (buki) The word “alphabet” comes from the names of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: ALPHABET: ALPHA + VITA

Slide 4

In the 9th century in Byzantium, in the city of Thessaloniki (now the city of Thessaloniki in Greece), two brothers lived - Constantine and Methodius. They were wise and very educated people and knew the Slavic language well. The Greek king Michael sent these brothers to the Slavs in response to the request of the Slavic prince Rostislav. And so the brothers Constantine and Methodius came to the Slavs to create the Slavic alphabet, which later became known as the Cyrillic alphabet. (In honor of Constantine, who, having become a monk, received the name Cyril). How and where did our alphabet come from, and why is it called Cyrillic? Aa Vv Gg Dd E Kk Ll Mm Greek Aa Bb Gg Dd Ee Kk Ll Mm Slavic How did they create the alphabet? Cyril and Methodius took the Greek alphabet and adapted it to the sounds of the Slavic language. So our alphabet is a “daughter” of the Greek alphabet. Many of our letters are taken from Greek, which is why they look similar to them.

Slide 5

Cyril and Methodius radically changed the existence of the Russian people. They gave him the Cyrillic alphabet, which became the blood and flesh of his culture, which is still alive today and with which this text was typed on a computer. And this is the greatest gift to people from an ascetic man. . This is his word, His greatest initiative Amidst the earthly cycle, Births, sorrows and deaths.

In ancient Russian offices there was a special form of office work - columns. A sheet of paper was cut into three strips. The text of documents was written across, along the narrow side of paper strips, which were then glued together in the form of a tape and rolled into a column, sometimes of very large sizes. The original “Cathedral Code” of 1649 by Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich is a huge tape consisting of 959 separate glued sheets. The length of this tape is about 309 meters!

Slide 7

When writing books, the first letter was made larger than the others and decorated, i.e. made her beautiful. Previously, the word red meant beautiful. Since then, it has been customary to start a new paragraph with a red line. in some kingdom, in some state...

Slide 8

“In front of you is a mass - the Russian language!” N.V. Gogol The Russian language is one of the largest languages in the world: in terms of the number of speakers it ranks fifth after Chinese, English, Hindi and Spanish. They created their wonderful works in Russian: A.S. Pushkin A.P. Chekhov N.A. Nekrasov L.N. Tolstoy And many other wonderful writers!

Slide 9

They called the Russian language powerful and full-voiced, meek and formidable, captivating and caressing, melodious and calm, murmuring with elusive streams, shining with silver floods of rivers, spiritual and inexhaustibly rich, beautiful and pure, interesting and diverse! And then you will be convinced that the Russian language is interesting and diverse “The Russian language in skillful hands and experienced lips is beautiful, melodious, expressive, flexible, obedient, dexterous and capacious.” “It’s not scary to lie under dead bullets, It’s not bitter to be homeless, - And we will save you, Russian speech, the Great Russian word. We will carry you free and clean, And we will give you grandchildren, and we will save you from captivity, Forever.” Anna Andreevna Akhmatova Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin

Have you ever wondered why the Russian language is powerful and great? There are, of course, many versions... But why Russian? Why not English, which is spoken by almost half the planet. After all, it is for English language has secured the status of an international language. The format of all international forums and conferences, as well as documentation, is officially in English. But the Russian language is still considered great and powerful.

More examples. Chinese— more than 50,000 hieroglyphs. It's incredibly difficult to learn. The Chinese themselves mostly know about 8,000 characters. For normal communication, reading and understanding each other, this is quite enough. The Chinese language is complex, one of the most ancient languages, and its speakers are more than 1.4 billion people, but with all due respect to the Chinese, it is not powerful or great...

Did you know that the Chinese language has extremely simple grammar: verbs are not conjugated, there are no genders, and even the familiar concept of the plural is not here. Punctuation is present only at the most primitive level, and phrases are constructed strictly according to certain structures.

If it were not for the crazy pronunciation and the huge number of hieroglyphs, then Chinese would be one of the simplest languages... No, the Chinese language is not powerful or great.

Japanese language. For me - one of the most complex - more than 150,000 hieroglyphs. Think about these numbers. It seems that to learn Japanese you need to be calm, like the philosopher Confucius, and inquisitive, like Leo Tolstoy. Japanese is a very difficult language, more difficult than Chinese and English. But at the same time, Japanese is a language with quirks.

Few people know that there are very few affectionate words in the Japanese language. This is why the Japanese take twice as long to say something.

At least in this parameter alone he cannot be compared with the great and mighty Russian!

So, I am absolutely convinced that such factors as international recognition, the ancient history of the language, difficulty in learning, borrowing and much, much more do not in any way secure the right of a language to be called great and powerful! It's difficult to prove, but I'll try.

In general, the phrase “great, mighty Russian language” first came into use in 1882. Its author, Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, passionately loved his native language. Without taking the necessary phrases out of context, I will quote the classic’s thought in the meaning in which he expressed it:

“In days of doubt, in days of painful thoughts about the fate of my homeland, you alone are my support and support, O great, mighty, truthful and free Russian language! Without you, how can one not fall into despair at the sight of everything that is happening at home? But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!”

Ivan Turgenev

These are not words of despair or fanatically blind worship, and this was not said for the sake of words. Ivan Sergeevich had reason to call things by their proper names. His acquaintance with Pushkin, Lermontov, Zhukovsky, Nekrasov, Belinsky, Herzen, his life abroad, his experience and acquaintance with Western culture, art, literature; his vision and understanding of life and longing for his homeland... - all of the above gave him a special right to speak as he saw fit, as he thought and thought.

Turgenev liked life in the West. He accepted it, and his life in Paris was much better than in Russia, but to renounce the Russian language and write his novels in French or English was out of the question.

It was Turgenev who was the mouthpiece of Russian culture in the world, an ardent propagandist of Russian literature in the West. From the height of his years, the writer firmly believed that the Russian language was given exclusively to the great people. Turgenev understood all the strength and richness of the Russian language - its flexibility, euphony, versatility.

Indeed, the Russian language is beautiful and melodic, and cannot be compared with any other. No other language in the world contains such a variety of shades of meaning.

“You can do wonders with the Russian language”

The genius of the Russian language lies in the fact that with the help of word forms, epithets and figures of speech it is easy to convey the slightest nuances in descriptions and create colorful images. “You can do wonders with the Russian language”, wrote another genius of the word K. Paustovsky. He was convinced that “there is nothing in life and in our consciousness that cannot be conveyed in the Russian word. The sound of music, the spectral brilliance of colors, the play of light, the noise and shadow of gardens, the vagueness of sleep, the heavy rumble of a thunderstorm, the whisper of children and the rustle of sea gravel. There are no sounds, colors, images and thoughts for which there would not be an exact expression in our language.”

Nothing is impossible in the Russian language. In Russian, you can write a story in which all words begin with the same letter. There are many such examples. One of them is a story starting with the letter “P”, which we already discussed earlier.

And Russian swearing, profanity, obscenity, Russian swearing. We even swear with complex and untranslatable phrases for the West. Sometimes Russian swearing gave us a significant advantage - take the years of the Great Patriotic War, for example. The German cryptographers could not understand what the Soviet troops would do, because, at times, orders and commands were pronounced in purely Russian language. In the USSR, there were secretly two international languages - Russian and swearing. All countries of the socialist camp spoke and understood Russian. By the way, in no country in the world is there explanatory dictionary of criminal jargons. Think about it! Not one! This is not a reason to be proud, but it is a fact of life.

And Russian humor in literature. Take a volume of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov - the most translated Russian writer in the world. And read the sarcasm of the “dissident” Dovlatov. And Gilyarovsky, Averchenko, Kuprin are people with a rich sense of humor.

The Russian language is vast! The vocabulary of the Russian language is really large. An ordinary Russian-speaking person does not use even a fifth of all words existing in the language. At the same time, there are many borrowings from other languages, which are also considered part of the Russian vocabulary. But even if we do not take into account modern foreign words (ancient Greek, Latin and other borrowings are not considered as such), the Russian language is still vast.

The idea expressed in Russian is no less complex. Much often depends on intonation, word order, and punctuation marks. “Execution cannot be pardoned” is remembered by all Russian-speaking people from their school years, and this example extremely successfully demonstrates this difference.

It is for these reasons that the Russian language was called great and powerful, but these words have not yet lost their significance. Russian is one of the richest languages in the world, and at the same time one of the most complex. He has a great past, but also an equally great future.

And instead of a conclusion, a few funny examples found on the Internet confirming the greatness and richness of the Russian language:

I WILL PRESENT the theme, I HANDLE the strings:
Let's drink TO THE LADIES, and also TO THE VIRGINS!

Sometimes I look in the mirror and whine:
I would like to see myself as DIFFERENT...

WE SPOKE WITH THE EX-MINISTER
About how harmful SEX MINISTERS is...

I'm looking for a photo LENS, BUT -
Please give me another one,
So that it reflects OBJECTIVELY
Me skinny and young!

Understanding ladies' quirks,
Please take note, gentlemen:
Sometimes the words “GET OUT OF HERE”
Means "IDIOT, HERE"!

Get to the coveted throne
One cartridge will help me.
Here's a plan, reliable and simple:
I need a cartridge. Idle!

Apparently, the Creator made a mistake,
Having provided men with a distorted picture,
And, looking at the dressed Makha,
A man sees Maha naked...

Have you ever wondered why the Russian language is powerful and great? Of course, there are many versions... But why Russian?

Why not English, which is spoken by almost half the planet. After all, it is the English language that is assigned the status of an international language.

Punctuation is present only at the most primitive level, and phrases are constructed strictly according to certain structures.

If it were not for the crazy pronunciation and the huge number of hieroglyphs, then Chinese would be one of the simplest languages... No, the Chinese language is in no way powerful or great.
Japanese language. For me - one of the most complex - more than 150,000 hieroglyphs. Think about these numbers. It seems that to learn Japanese you need to be calm, like the philosopher Confucius, and inquisitive, like Leo Tolstoy. Japanese is a very difficult language, more so than Chinese and English.
